Astaxanthin has been widely used in aquaculture industry for pigmentation of salmon, trout and shrimps; used for its antioxidant and other health benefits in nutraceutical industry; used in cosmetics for its skin care and anti-aging properties; and also used for fortification of foods and beverages. On commercial scale, astaxanthin is currently produced through chemical synthesis and also derived from natural sources such as Phaffia yeast, Paracoccus bacteria, shrimp bi-products and Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) microalgae, with the current major natural source of astaxanthin being the Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward using natural ingredients in all forms of food nutrients including the nutraceutical and cosmetic markets, resulting from increasing concerns for consumer safety and regulatory issues over the introduction of synthetic chemicals into the human food chain. The demand for natural astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae in the global market has been 'sky-rocketing' in recent years owing to increasing consumer awareness of its health benefits.
Global market for both synthetic and natural source astaxanthin in aqua feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and food & beverages is estimated at 280 metric tons valued at US$447 million in 2014, is further projected to reach 670 metric tons valued at US$1.1 billion by 2020. Synthetic astaxanthin, astaxanthin rich Phaffia yeast and Paracoccus bacteria are predominantly used in the aquaculture sector, while the astaxanthin derived from H. pluvialis microalgae is the main source for human applications such as dietary supplements, cosmetics and food & beverages.
Astaxanthin products analyzed in this study include Synthetic Astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis Microalgae Astaxanthin and astaxanthin rich Paracoccus bacteria. End-use application markets covered in the report are Aqua Feed, Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics and Food & Beverages. The report reviews, analyses and projects the astaxanthin market for global and the regional markets including North America, South America, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) and Rest of World. The report also provides a special focus on various astaxanthin production technologies employed by key market players, including Chemical Synthesis; Microalgae Cultivation, Harvesting, Drying and Astaxanthin Extraction; and Bacteria Fermentation.
The 316 page global astaxanthin market report includes 128 charts (includes a data table and graphical representation for each chart), supported with meaningful and easy to understand graphical presentation, of market numbers. This report profiles 46 key market players segmented by synthetic Astaxanthin manufacturers – 5; natural source Astaxanthin manufacturers including new entrants – 41.

SUMMARY
Astaxanthin has been widely used in aquaculture industry for
pigmentation of salmon, trout and shrimps; used for its antioxidant
and other health benefits in nutraceutical industry; used in
cosmetics for its skin care and anti-aging properties; and also used
for fortification of foods and beverages. On commercial scale,
astaxanthin is currently produced through chemical synthesis and
also derived from natural sources such as Phaffia yeast, Paracoccus
bacteria, shrimp bi-products and Haematococcus pluvialis (H.
pluvialis) microalgae, with the current major natural source of
astaxanthin being the Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward using natural
ingredients in all forms of food nutrients including the nutraceutical
and cosmetic markets, resulting from increasing concerns for
consumer safety and regulatory issues over the introduction of
synthetic chemicals into the human food chain. The demand for
natural astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae in
the global market has been “sky-rocketing” in recent years owing to
increasing consumer awareness of its health benefits.
Global market for both synthetic and natural source astaxanthin in
aqua feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and food & beverages is
estimated at 280 metric tons valued at US$447 million in 2014, is
further projected to reach 670 metric tons valued at US$1.1 billion
by 2020. Synthetic astaxanthin, astaxanthin rich Phaffia yeast and
Paracoccus bacteria are predominantly used in the aquaculture
sector, while the astaxanthin derived from H. pluvialis microalgae
is the main source for human applications such as dietary
supplements, cosmetics and food & beverages.
Astaxanthin products analyzed in this study include Synthetic
Astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis Microalgae Astaxanthin and
astaxanthin rich Paracoccus bacteria. End-use application markets
covered in the report are Aqua Feed, Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics
and Food & Beverages. The report reviews, analyses and projects
the astaxanthin market for global and the regional markets
including North America, South America, Europe, Japan, Asia-
Pacific (excluding Japan) and Rest of World. The report also
provides a special focus on various astaxanthin production
technologies employed by key market players, including Chemical
Synthesis; Microalgae Cultivation, Harvesting, Drying and
Astaxanthin Extraction; and Bacteria Fermentation.

Business Profile
Algatechnologies Ltd is a leading commercial cultivator of
microalgae that was established in 1998 and has
considerable expertise in its chosen field of activity. The
company has leadership standing in manufacturing and
distributing AstaPure® branded premium natural
astaxanthin, which forms a highly potent antioxidant that
has been derived from the microalga, Haematococcus
pluvialis. Algatechnologies’ location in the Arava desert of
Israel, having a stable climate and high light intensity, places
it ideally in its endeavor of cultivating algae. The company’s
astaxanthin production involves a novel process, whereby
the final product AstaPure® is supplied to the cosmetic,
food & beverage and nutrition sectors. Algatechnologies has
a worldwide presence, with the company’s sales
organization offering services to over 30 countries using a
wide-ranging network of exclusive distributors, as also
through a direct sales network that caters to global clients.
Algatechnologies has adopted the utilization of a closed
tubular and eco-friendly cultivation system for producing its
AstaPure® natural astaxanthin. This technology enables a
highly controlled cultivation system, which eliminates
foreign objects, agricultural residues and microbial
contamination being introduced into the growing medium.
The company has been associated with Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev, Israel, since 1998 with the aim of
developing and achieving its microalgae cultivation
technologies founded on closed and semi-closed reactors.
Algatechnologies employs an exclusive and proprietary
closed system that includes a modular arrangement of
tubular photo-bioreactors, with the entire closed system
being based on existing 300 km long glass tubes covering an
area of 10 acres of desert land. This computerized,
controlled, connected and automatic astaxanthin oleoresin
extraction technology has been outsourced to third-party
contractors, who employ the supercritical CO2 extraction
process.
