Expanding Vegan Population Drives the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global seaweed snacks market size was valued at USD 1,693.03 million in 2022. It is expected to reach USD 3858.7 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” Over the last few years, there has been a noticeable increase in vegans on the global market. As the vegan population grows, there will likely be a greater need for seaweed snacks. Customers in countries like Canada are turning away from animal products in favor of seaweed snacks that are naturally prepared and are cleaner and healthier. In the long run, 7.5 million Americans favor an animal-free diet because they think it will make them healthier. Numerous seaweed snack products are expected to see an increase in demand as vegan consumers grow in number. Due to the growing consumer demand for products with unusual ingredients, the market for seaweed snacks is anticipated to expand globally in the coming years.

Untapped Potential of Developing Countries Creates Tremendous Opportunities

The opportunities in emerging economies are enormous because of their unrealized potential. Most of the world’s population—more than 80%—resides in nations that are not OEC members (OECD). Nevertheless, they only eat less than 60% of the food produced globally. By 2020, emerging economies will have more than 60% of the world’s population in the middle class. Around 3 million households in China had an annual discretionary income of roughly $10,000 in 2000; at the current growth rate, this number would have increased to 60 million by 2012. This number is projected to increase to more than 230 million by 2020. The per capita income in developing economies has risen dramatically during the last few years. China’s per capita income climbed by 9% in 2017 compared to 2016. In comparison to 2016, India’s disposable income increased by roughly 9.4% in 2017. Increased consumer spending power, rising disposable incomes, and a greater emphasis on fitness worldwide promote the usage of more exclusive and environmentally friendly products, such as seaweed-based snacks.
