Furthermore, astaxanthin is widely used as a feed additive to enhance the color and overall health of farmed fish, such as salmon and trout, making it very popular with consumers. Increasing demand for high quality seafood and shift towards sustainable aquaculture practices are driving the demand for natural astaxanthin over synthetic ones. Regulatory approval for use in animal feed across industries is also facilitating widespread acceptance within the industry.
However, high production costs and limited availability of raw materials may deter the product uptake. Natural astaxanthin derived from sources, such as Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae involves complex and expensive cultivation and extraction processes, making them much more expensive than synthetic sources. Stringent regulatory requirements for health claims and product approvals across industries may further slow the market entry and expansion of new astaxanthin products.
