Derived from spirulina, phycocyanin is gaining popularity as a natural blue pigment and nutritional supplement. The health-conscious population and the rise of plant-based products in the Philippines are driving interest in this superfood ingredient.
The phycocyanin market in the Philippines is experiencing growth, particularly in the health food, nutraceutical, and cosmetics sectors. Extracted from spirulina, phycocyanin is gaining popularity as a natural food coloring agent and antioxidant ingredient. Demand is driven by the rising health-consciousness among Filipino consumers and the expanding wellness product segment. Local production is still limited, with most products imported from regional producers, though small-scale aquaculture initiatives are beginning to explore commercial cultivation of spirulina to supply this niche.
The phycocyanin market in the Philippines is emerging but faces significant scalability challenges. Derived from spirulina, its production is hampered by inadequate aquaculture infrastructure and lack of standardized processing techniques. High production costs, seasonal yield fluctuations, and strict quality standards in export markets further limit its commercial viability. Additionally, there is limited public knowledge about its benefits, restricting local consumption.
With rising interest in natural food colorants and supplements, phycocyanina blue pigment derived from spirulinais gaining popularity. Investment opportunities include cultivating algae locally, developing food-grade extraction units, and marketing to the food, nutraceutical, and cosmetics sectors.
This natural pigment derived from spirulina aligns with government interests in natural and organic food ingredients. The Department of Agriculture promotes microalgae farming through aquaculture grants and technology transfer programs. However, extraction and processing technologies are underdeveloped locally, calling for further public-private R&D collaboration.
