Emerging seaweed markets estimate their growth potential could be up to US$11.8 billion by 2030. In particular, the biodegradable packaging market is projected to grow from USD 105.26 billion in 2024 to USD 140.66 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.97%, while the global plant-based food market is expected to reach 77.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. Notably, the cultured meat market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 51.6% from 2023 to 2030. The Republic of Korea has made a huge success in the seaweed private sector ranking first with a market share of 70.6% of the global $918 million dollars-worth seaweed market. Behind its successful growth, Korea has been striving to develop new and cutting-edge solutions of advanced technologies in the seaweed industry to improve production and productivity and explore seaweed’s extensive potential. At the center of Korea’s innovation are research institutes and academic researchers who are leading the advancement of the seaweed industry by leveraging Korea’s comparative advantage in technology. KIOST (Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology) is one of Korea’s leading think tanks in marine science and technology, with several technology-based partnerships with domestic and overseas research institutes. KIOST is known for developing technology to achieve multiple cropping of seaweed, the first of its kind in Korea, which promotes the growth of seaweed and thus reduces seaweed cultivation time. Chosun University’s Marine Healthcare Effectiveness & Evaluation Center is a renowned academic knowledge bank well-known for its researchers who are actively leveraging digitalization and AI in their research and exploration of seaweed’s potential beyond human consumption, from cosmetics to health supplement markets.

Updated COASTAL CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS THROUGH SEAWEED AQUACULTURE IN INDONESIA: A Guide for Buyers, Conservation Practitioners, and Farmers on Documents
Over one million coastal Indonesians engage in seaweed aquaculture, a unique and growing global industry for production of carrageenan and agar, direct consumption, and animal feeds, among other uses. Carrageenan and agar, refined from red seaweeds, are used as ‘texturizers’ or thickeners primarily within foods and cosmetics, but have growing utility within areas such as animal feeds and pharmaceuticals. Indonesian seaweed farming presents a significant economic opportunity with the potential to be managed in a more sustainable manner. The Nature Conservancy’s (The Conservancy’s) vision is for seaweed aquaculture to grow in harmony with marine conservation objectives, support livelihoods in coastal communities throughout Indonesia, and provide ecosystem services for habitat and nutrient bioremediation – to encourage increased sustainability through the three dimensions of economic, social, and environmental. In response to the rapidly growing global market for carrageenan seaweeds, the environmental challenges and opportunities of seaweed farming, and the essential livelihoods that seaweed farming currently provides in Indonesia, The Conservancy presents this seaweed aquaculture guide for seaweed purchasers, conservation organizations working in seaweed, and seaweed farmers in Indonesia that are seeking to reduce environmental impacts, and to encourage sustainable livelihoods1 by improving the value of farmed seaweed through better farming and post-harvesting practices. This guide is divided into four main parts: (1) an introduction providing pertinent background regarding Indonesia in the context of carrageenan seaweeds; (2) a guide for seaweed buyers seeking to increase the sustainability of their supply chains; (3) a guide for conservation practitioners working in seaweed aquaculture for environmental, economic, and social gain; and (4) an illustrated guide for farmers to improve seaweed farming practices.

Updated Seaweed Industry in China on Documents
China represents world seaweed industry and its development in terms of total cultivated production and consumption market. Fujian and Shandong provinces contribute 42% and 32% of the total annual cultivated seaweed. Among 7 main popular cultivated seaweed species in China, Kelp (Saccharina (Laminaria) Japonica) has been accounting for majority of the total annual production in China, 98% in 1950s and still 68% nearly 1.5
Kelp food consumption took 80-98% of annual cultivated kelp during 1950s-early 1990s. From mid of 1990s to mid of 2000s, alginates industry competed 60% cultivated kelp raw materials while other 40% went for food. After year of 2005, market demands for kelp food and aquaculture feed increased gradually and steadily, taking 60% and 20% respectively. Alginates industry in China has to invest abroad for outsourcing kelp raw
hina, 98% in 1950s and still 68% nearly 1.5

Updated Seaweed Industry in China on Documents
Seaweed industry in Norway needs to strategically figure out whether to export cultivated and harvested kelp raw materials to China for alginates and/or food industry, or, to cultivate, harvest and process it into kelp food and/or alginates in Norway first and then export it to China. China represents world seaweed industry and its development in terms of total cultivated production and consumption market. Fujian and Shandong provinces contribute 42% and 32% of the total annual cultivated seaweed. Among 7 main popular cultivated seaweed species in China, Kelp (Saccharina (Laminaria Japonica) has been accounting for majority of the total annual production in China, 98% in 1950s and still 68% nearly 1.5 million tons (dried weight) today.
