Dublin, Aug. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Astaxanthin Market - Sources, Technologies and Applications" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Forecast to Register a Robust CAGR of 13.3%, Natural H. pluvialis Algae Astaxanthin to Drive Global Astaxanthin Market to Reach US$770 Million by 2024

The global nutraceuticals industry is estimated to have consumed the largest volume of Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) microalgae natural astaxanthin in 2017 accounting for 54.8% which is likely to reach 190 metric tons by 2024. However, the emerging market of Food & Beverages for H. pluvialis microalgae astaxanthin consumption will witness the fastest CAGR between the period 2017 and 2024.

Astaxanthin is 550 times stronger than vitamin E, and 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C in regard to antioxidant power. Due to its powerful antioxidant properties, astaxanthin proved to have benefits on various health conditions including inflammation, diabetics, cardiovascular, vision and CNS conditions. 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.

The report reviews, analyzes and projects the global Astaxanthin market for the period 2014-2024 in terms of volume consumption in metric tons, market value in US$ and the compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) projected from 2017 through 2024.
