Impact of Covid-19 on the Phycocyanin Market- Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast (2020-2027)

The Phycocyanin Market is expected to reach $245.5 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 28.5% during the forecast period of 2020 to 2027.

The growth of this market is mainly attributed to key factors such as increased adoption of phycocyanin in the manufacturing of therapeutic & nutritional products, growing reluctance towards the usage of synthetic colors, rising demand for natural blue colorants, and investments from leading color houses in the phycocyanin space. However, the high cost of natural colors and purification and extraction, the complex production procedure of spirulina, and the risk of algae contamination are factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the global phycocyanin market to some extent.


Impact of Covid-19 on the Phycocyanin Market

The border closures, quarantines, and market supply chain and trade disruptions could restrict people’s access to sufficient/diverse and nutritious sources of food, especially in countries hit hard by the virus or already affected by high levels of food insecurity. The worldwide supply chain includes distribution, packaging, as well as sourcing of raw materials. Lockdowns have disrupted the transportation of packaged foods, prepared foods, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.

In addition, the shutdowns of restaurants and quick-service facilities due to lockdowns have hindered the growth of the food & beverage industry to a large extent. Nutritious and diverse food sources are in short supply in the wake of the global health crisis. Also, greater food insecurity is prevalent in regions hit hard by COVID-19, such as Spain, Italy, and the U.S. Thus, the negative impact on the global economy, supply chains, and trade are indirectly hampering the growth of the phycocyanin market to some extent.
