Description

Report Overview

Seaweed aquaculture, also known as macroalgae farming, involves the cultivation of marine algae in controlled or semi-controlled environments such as coastal waters, tanks, or offshore systems. It serves multiple purposes, including food production (e.g., nori, wakame, and kombu), biofuel, animal feed, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and bioplastics. The industry has gained traction due to its sustainability benefits, as seaweed requires no freshwater, arable land, or fertilizers to grow, while also absorbing carbon dioxide and mitigating ocean acidification. Key species farmed include *Saccharina japonica* (kelp), *Gracilaria*, *Eucheuma*, and *Porphyra* (nori), with production methods varying from rope-based longlines to net cultivation and tank systems. The sector is expanding rapidly, driven by increasing demand for plant-based proteins, eco-friendly materials, and carbon-neutral solutions, though challenges such as regulatory hurdles, disease management, and scalability persist.

The global Seaweed Aquaculture market size was estimated at USD 1772.2 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% during the forecast period.
