藻類動物飼料市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及 2025 - 2034 年預測

2024年，全球藻類動物飼料市場規模達45億美元，預計2034年將以3.9%的複合年成長率成長至66億美元。這一穩步成長的動力源於畜牧業、家禽業和水產養殖業對永續高性能飼料解決方案日益成長的需求。隨著全球糧食需求的成長，生產商面臨採用高效環保生產方式的壓力。藻類飼料兼具高營養價值和低環境影響，有望成為這一領域的解決方案。消費者和生產商都越來越關注大豆和魚粉等傳統飼料原料的永續性，因為這些原料的生產往往會導致森林砍伐和過度捕撈。相較之下，藻類養殖所需的土地和水資源更少，碳足跡更低，使其成為越來越有吸引力的替代品。此外，隨著人們越來越傾向於選擇天然和功能性的動物營養，藻類飼料與產業改善動物健康、最佳化生產性能並確保整個供應鏈長期永續發展的努力高度契合。

藻類飼料產品因其富含必需蛋白質、ω-3 脂肪酸、維生素和抗氧化劑而日益普及。這些營養特性有助於改善動物健康、增強抗病能力並提高飼料轉換率。隨著全球牲畜數量持續成長，傳統飼料來源的環境影響日益受到關注，藻類替代品提供了永續且高效的選擇。在水產養殖領域，藻類發揮著特別重要的作用，與許多水生物種的天然飲食攝取非常相似。藻類的加入有助於維持魚類和蝦類的健康生長週期，並增強其免疫力。

藻類飼料在畜禽養殖領域也日益受到青睞。生產商擴大添加藻類來改善肉質、提升蛋黃色澤和提高產奶量。在反芻動物中，某些藻類菌株已被證明能夠減少甲烷排放，這為利用藻類降低畜牧業溫室氣體排放提供了有力的佐證。此外，隨著人們對傳統飼料碳足跡的認知不斷提高，越來越多的農民和營養學家不僅將藻類視為補充劑，還將藻類視為特殊飼料（包括寵物食品）的核心飼料成分，因為這類飼料對優質營養和永續性的需求很高。

2024年，粉狀藻類飼料佔全球市場的55.1%。這種飼料形式之所以受歡迎，很大程度上得益於其多功能性、易用性、成本效益和更長的保存期限。製造商青睞粉狀飼料，因為它們易於與現有飼料類型混合，同時保留其營養價值。粉狀飼料與製粒和擠壓工藝相容，使飼料生產商能夠在不同動物品種中保持一致的品質。螺旋藻和小球藻等粉狀飼料因其蛋白質和必需脂肪酸的高生物利用度而備受推崇。這些粉狀飼料不僅能提高動物的消化率和生產性能，還能帶來其他功能性益處，進而提高動物的生產力。

2024年，藻類動物飼料市場的水產養殖部分產值達16億美元。隨著人均收入成長和飲食習慣改變，全球海鮮消費量持續成長，藻類飼料正在填補魚粉和魚油等傳統海洋投入品供應減少所留下的缺口。藻類提供穩定、營養豐富的解決方案，有助於水生物種的生長、飼料效率和抗病能力。藻類的使用有助於生產者實現永續發展目標，並應對與過度捕撈和棲息地退化相關的環境問題，這使得藻類成為未來負責任水產養殖實踐的核心。

在中國，2024年藻類動物飼料市場規模達6.8億美元。這一成長得益於中國水產養殖業的快速發展以及政府大力推廣綠色生態農業的舉措。國家政策鼓勵使用低影響飼料原料，也促使藻類在豬和家禽養殖的應用日益廣泛。隨著國內對優質動物性蛋白質的需求不斷成長，飼料製造商正轉向營養豐富的藻類補充劑，以提高飼料轉換率，增強動物健康，並符合中國的永續發展目標。

為了鞏固市場地位，Corbion、ADM、DSM、Cellana和Allmircoalgae等領導企業正在推行垂直整合策略。這些公司正在擴大微藻養殖規模，改善加工技術，並增加研發投入，以提高菌株產量和營養密度。與飼料製造商和養殖戶的策略合作也擴大了產品的可及性，並推動了主流和小眾動物營養市場的採用。

The Global Algae-Based Animal Feed Market was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2034. This steady growth is driven by the rising demand for sustainable, high-performance feed solutions across the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors. As global food demand rises, producers are under pressure to adopt efficient, eco-friendly practices. Algae-derived feed offers a promising answer, combining strong nutritional profiles with reduced environmental impact. Consumers and producers alike are showing growing concern over the sustainability of traditional feed ingredients like soy and fishmeal, whose production often contributes to deforestation and overfishing. In contrast, algae can be cultivated using less land and water, with a lower carbon footprint, making them an increasingly attractive alternative. Moreover, with the shift toward natural and functional nutrition for animals, algae-based feeds align well with industry efforts to improve animal health, optimize performance, and ensure long-term sustainability across supply chains.

Algae-derived feed products are becoming popular thanks to their rich content of essential proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. These nutritional properties contribute to improved animal health, better disease resistance, and more efficient feed conversion rates. As the global livestock population continues to expand and traditional feed sources face growing scrutiny over their environmental impact, algae-based alternatives offer a sustainable and high-performing option. In the aquaculture sector, algae play a particularly vital role, closely resembling the natural dietary intake of many aquatic species. Their inclusion supports healthy growth cycles and enhances immunity in fish and shrimp.

Algae-based feed is also gaining momentum in livestock and poultry farming. Producers are increasingly incorporating algae to improve meat quality, enhance egg yolk coloration, and boost milk yield. In ruminants, certain algae strains have been shown to reduce methane emissions, offering a compelling case for their use in efforts to lower greenhouse gas output from animal agriculture. Additionally, as awareness grows around the carbon footprint of conventional feed, more farmers and nutritionists are looking toward algae not only as supplements but also as core feed ingredients in specialty diets-including pet food-where premium nutrition and sustainability are in high demand.

In 2024, the powdered algae-based feed segment accounted for 55.1% of the global market. This format's popularity is largely due to its versatility, ease of application, cost-effectiveness, and extended shelf life. Manufacturers favor powder forms because they blend easily into existing feed types while preserving their nutritional value. Their compatibility with pelleting and extrusion processes allows feed producers to maintain consistent quality across different animal species. Powdered forms such as Spirulina and Chlorella are particularly well-regarded for their high bioavailability of proteins and essential fatty acids. These powders not only enhance digestibility and performance but also contribute functional benefits that improve animal productivity.

The aquaculture segment within the algae-based animal feed market generated USD 1.6 billion in 2024. As seafood consumption continues to rise globally-driven by increasing per capita income and changing dietary habits-algae-based feed is stepping in to fill the gap left by declining supplies of traditional marine inputs like fishmeal and fish oil. Algae offer a stable, nutrient-dense solution that supports growth, feed efficiency, and disease resistance in aquatic species. Their use is helping producers meet sustainability goals and respond to environmental concerns tied to overfishing and habitat degradation, making algae central to the future of responsible aquaculture practices.

In China, the algae-based animal feed market reached USD 680 million in 2024. This growth is fueled by rapid expansion in the country's aquaculture industry and strong government initiatives promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture. National policies are encouraging the use of low-impact feed ingredients, leading to increased adoption of algae in swine and poultry operations as well. With domestic demand for high-quality animal protein on the rise, feed manufacturers are turning to nutrient-dense algae supplements to improve feed conversion ratios, enhance animal health, and align with China's sustainability goals.

To strengthen their position in the market, leading players such as Corbion, ADM, DSM, Cellana, and Allmircoalgae are pursuing vertical integration strategies. These companies are scaling up microalgae cultivation, refining processing technologies, and investing in research and development to boost strain productivity and nutrient density. Strategic collaborations with feed manufacturers and farmers are also expanding product accessibility and driving adoption across mainstream and niche animal nutrition markets.
