Europe Algae Protein Market Trends
The Popularization of Functional Foods is Likely to Foster the Market Growth
Algae are marine sourced plants which have been getting attention as a functional food in recent years across the region. Their nutritional profile makes them uniquely suited and apt to meet the demands of consumers willing for more plant-centric diets. Algae are also considered a sustainable food source for animals. Algae's superfood character calls for a more overt usage in food and drink products in the European countries, owing to the transforming consumer food habits in the region. Educating consumers about the nutritional benefits available in algae will be critical to overcoming cultural perceptions. Moreover, many European consumers are not yet familiar with eating algae outside of sushi, so the brands are putting a strong focus on taste, e.g. by combing algae with popular flavors, to encourage consumer uptake.
