Astaxanthin is a keto-carotenoid, which is a colourful, liquid-soluble pigment. It is found in many natural sources such as salmon, trout, microalgae, yeast, krill, shrimp, crayfish, and crustaceans, among others. While Astaxanthin is a naturally available component of the diet, it is also used as a food supplement. It is generally used for animal, human, and aquaculture consumption. It is widely available in red-coloured aquatic foods. The primary source of Astaxanthin in aquatic food sources is algae. In species like shellfish, it is concentrated in the shells, while it is also available in the flesh at lower concentrations. However, most of the commercially available Astaxanthin is produced synthetically.
The driving factors of the Middle East and Africa Astaxanthin market are the adoption of advanced technologies during various stages of the production of Astaxanthin, such as cultivation, extraction, microalgae harvesting, extraction and drying, growing geriatric population, and rising demand for cosmetic products like antioxidant creams and anti-ageing creams, among others.
