Algae are aquatic plants that contain chlorophyll but lack vascular tissue, roots, true stems, and leaves. It can be found in fresh and salt water. The main types of algae include red algae, green algae, and blue-green algae. Some algae, such as spirulina and chlorella, are high in protein and can be used as nutraceuticals as well as functional food and feed. Algae has proven to be a reliable and promising source of protein and has emerged as an alternative protein.
Developed economies such as the US and Europe are already seeing significant traction for plant-based protein as consumers increasingly gravitate toward vegetarian and plant-based foods. Furthermore, approximately 10% of the population in Europe is vegetarian and vegan, and this percentage is expected to rise steadily in the coming years. Consumers around the world are willing to change their eating habits and switch to plant-based foods. According to Google Trends, interest in "veganism" increased sevenfold between 2014 and 2019. Similarly, about 10 million Americans are vegans. Ethical and environmental concerns are the main drivers for consumers to stop eating meat. Rising vegan population is expected to increase the demand for alternative proteins including algae, thereby driving the growth of the algae protein market.
