PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE PHYCOCYANIN MARKET OVERVIEW

The global pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin market size was USD 0.04 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.06 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

The pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin is a blue pigment-protein complex phycocyanin performs a wide range of biological functions. Because of its great efficacy and low toxicity, phytocyanin obtained from marine species can be utilized as a functional food. According to reports, pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin has pharmacological actions that preserve the liver and kidneys and have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune-enhancing properties. As a result, pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin has great potential for development as a medicine and is currently a hot topic in the world of drug research.

A biologically active nutritional component known as phycocyanin is extracted and refined from various seaweeds. Phycocyanin from a variety of animals. Numerous studies have thus far demonstrated that phycocyanin has an anti-cancer action that can both stop the growth of cancer cells and actually kill them. Pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin is a prospective anti-cancer therapy because it inhibits tumor cell cycle, induces tumor cell death, and promotes tumor cell autophagy.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Disruption Caused Market to Decline

Healthcare businesses faced difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, including unstable markets, declining customer trust, and disruptions in import and export activities. The global supply chain entails sourcing for raw materials, packaging, and distribution. Transport of packaged meals, prepared foods, non-alcoholic beverages, and alcoholic beverages has been hampered by lockdowns. Additionally, the lockdown-related restaurant and quick-service facility closures severely hampered the expansion of the healthcare and food beverages industries. Following the worldwide health crisis, nutritive and diversified food sources are in short supply. In addition, the outbreak has had an impact on the businesses of the companies, which has an impact on the phycocyanin industry as a whole. This has partially impacted the pharmaceutical grade phycocyanin market.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Number of Health Hazards to Boost the Market Growth

One since the product are employed in so many different industries, synthetic colors have a great practical importance. These colors are most frequently employed in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries and are produced chemically.
