Despite a slight decline in growth rate in 2024, the Philippines continued to import spirulina extract primarily from Singapore, China, Germany, Japan, and the USA. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated a moderate concentration within the market. With a healthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2020 to 2024, the import market for spirulina extract in the Philippines remains dynamic and promising, attracting an array of exporters from various countries.

Spirulina extract, rich in phycocyanin and proteins, is increasingly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods. The market in the Philippines is expanding as manufacturers explore natural alternatives to synthetic additives and colors.
The spirulina extract market is evolving in the Philippines as the demand for natural, plant-based ingredients rises in both the food and cosmetics sectors. Spirulina extract is used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in various health products, skincare formulations, and functional foods. As more consumers turn to natural and organic ingredients, the market for spirulina extract is poised for growth.
The spirulina extract market in the Philippines faces challenges related to both production and market acceptance. Spirulina extracts are relatively expensive to produce, requiring specific cultivation conditions and processing techniques, which increases their price. This makes spirulina extract products less accessible to a larger portion of the population. Moreover, there is a limited understanding of the extract`s benefits, especially outside of niche health-conscious segments. As a result, consumer demand remains relatively low. The market also suffers from competition from other more widely known health supplements and natural ingredients, which further limits the market share for spirulina extracts. Additionally, logistical issues related to sourcing and distribution add to the complexity of expanding the market.
The Philippines Spirulina Extract Market is growing as spirulina extracts are gaining recognition for their antioxidant properties and health benefits. Spirulina extract is commonly used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and functional foods. Investment opportunities exist in producing high-quality, standardized spirulina extracts that cater to various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and skincare. Further innovation in the extraction process to enhance the bioavailability and potency of the extract can also provide a competitive edge in the market.
Government policy supports the spirulina extract segment through science and innovation grants under DOST, focusing on extraction technologies and value-added product development. The FDA regulates quality control and product standards. Export of spirulina extracts is encouraged through agricultural trade missions and phytosanitary certification assistance provided by the Bureau of Plant Industry.
