Factors Affecting the Growth of the Commercial Seaweeds Industry:
Rising awareness about sustainability:
Seaweeds are grown using sustainable and eco-friendly methods. They need very little freshwater and don't take up arable land, which reduces their environmental impact compared to traditional farming. As they grow, seaweeds absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. This ability to capture carbon is gaining recognition as a valuable way to combat climate change. Plus, seaweed farming doesn't compete with farming on land, which helps ease pressure on limited arable land resources and addresses global food security concerns.
Growing demand for healthy food products:
Seaweeds are a treasure trove of vitamins, iodine, and iron. Packed with antioxidants, they nourish our bodies while tantalizing our taste buds. As health consciousness rises, these ocean marvels surf the waves of popularity. Low in calories and fat, they prove irresistible to weight watchers seeking balance. Naturally plant-based and vegan, they cater to those following green diets. As plant power gains traction, the demand for seaweed delights is soaring.
Innovations in seaweed-based products:
Ongoing innovations are resulting in a variety of seaweed-based products, such as snacks, condiments, cosmetics, supplements, and biodegradable packaging. This expansion appeals to a wider range of consumers. Supplements and health products based on seaweed are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential health advantages. These innovations meet the needs of consumers looking for natural remedies and nutritional support. At the same time, chefs and food manufacturers are finding creative ways to use seaweeds in cooking, adding new flavors and textures to the market.
