Pune, India, April 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global spirulina market size is projected to expand speedily owing to the potential benefits of spirulina for COVID-19 patients, finds Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Spirulina Market, 2021-2028”.
A study published in the journal ‘Marine Biotechnology’ in February 2021 by scientists from Israel and Iceland propounds that extracts from blue-green algae can prevent COVID-19 patients from getting seriously ill. According to the scientists, a derivative of enhanced spirulina can reduce the probability of the cytokine storm triggered by the coronavirus in the lungs, which can cause acute respiratory distress, by 70%. This is possible because the extract from this alga contains a pigment-binding protein that augments anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidation activities in the body. Another study, conducted in June 2020 by researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), found that spirulina extracts can potentially inhibit the entry of SARS, MERS, and SARS-2 spike pseudotyped virus in vitro. Thus, the coronavirus outbreak is likely to boost the adoption of natural algae extracts and brighten the outlook of this market.

Key Driving Factor
Spirulina-based Innovations by Startups to Drive Market
The emergence of startups in the algae-based foods domain is driving innovation and fueling the spirulina market growth. These startups are focused on developing algae-based food items, with an aim to cater to the demands of the growing vegan population. For example, in February 2019, Prolgae, a startup based in India, created vegan chocolate bars and cookies formulated from spirulina and its extracts.
Furthermore, this species of algae is also seen as a potential instrument against malnutrition, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), prompting a few companies to produce algae-based food items and make them accessible to all. In October 2018, for instance, Proalgae announced its plans to produce high-quality, sun-dried spirulina to fight malnutrition in India and Africa. Some other startups intend to popularize this alga’s super-food status. For example, SNACK Brand, a startup launched in January 2021, will be developing farm-fresh versions of this alga in the form of clusters and powders and combine them nutrient-dense ingredients, such as flax seeds and dry fruits.
