How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the seaweed extracts market?
Rising demand for biofuels is expected to propel the growth of the seaweed extracts market going forward. Biofuels are renewable energy sources produced from organic materials like plants, algae, or animal waste, serving as eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. The rising demand for biofuels is driven by government policies mandating renewable fuel use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and by technological advancements that have made production more cost-effective and sustainable. Seaweed extracts contribute to biofuels by providing a sustainable and high-yield feedstock rich in carbohydrates, which can be efficiently converted into bioethanol and biogas, supporting renewable energy production. For instance, in May 2022, according to The International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, the demand for biofuel is expected to rise by 38 billion liters between 2023 and 2028, which is almost 30% more than it was during the preceding five years. The demand for biofuel is predicted to increase by 23% to 200 billion liters by 2028. Therefore, rising demand for biofuels is driving the growth of the seaweed extracts market.
