The algae cultivation process focuses on carbon capturing. These innovations have helped several companies involved in algae cultivation and production to generate funds from government and private investors. The governments of several countries are setting targets to minimize their carbon emissions leading to increased demand for algae-based products. Volatility in the supply and prices of crude resulting from geopolitical differences and varying demand from consumers further strengthens the possibility of using algae-based products. Blends of fossil fuels and algae-based biofuels are being utilized in the transportation sector to check the commercial viability of biofuels produced from algae. Full-scale biofuel commercialization requires robust investments on technological developments and more than ten times the expansion of existing production facilities. Minimizing the cost of end products such as jet fuel, kerosene, ethanol, and methanol manufactured from algal biomass is the primary concern. High growth of the algae-to-biofuel market is anticipated by 2035.

The global algae market has been segmented into two categories: by application and by cultivation technology. In terms of application, the algae market has been classified into marine sector, aviation sector, road transport, DHA production (protein sales), DHA production (pharmaceutical applications), bio-plastics, and others.
