Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex found in cyanobacteria and certain algae, particularly spirulina. It is responsible for the blue coloration observed in these organisms. Phycocyanin absorbs light most efficiently at wavelengths around 620-640 nanometers, which is in the red-orange part of the spectrum, and it emits light at around 650-660 nanometers, appearing blue to the human eye.
This pigment plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, where it serves as a light-harvesting pigment. It captures light energy and transfers it to chlorophyll for photosynthetic processes. Additionally, phycocyanin has gained attention for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. As a result, it is sometimes used as a dietary supplement and in various food and cosmetic products.
The global phycocyanin market has been experiencing steady growth due to increasing consumer awareness about the health benefits of natural pigments and the rising demand for natural food colorants. Market reports often provide data on the market size, historical trends, and projected growth rates.
Phycocyanin belongs to the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family. It is found in Cryptophyceae, cyanobacteria, and Rhodophyceae, and according to the species, it is called as C-PC and R-PC. It has been gaining major popularity in medical and biotechnology fields as C-phycocyanin isolated from S. platensis has many therapeutic efficacies, such as anticancer properties, free radical scavenging activity, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
North America and Europe are critically banning use of synthetic colors in food & beverages owing to its health hazards, including hyperactivity in children and skin allergies. For instance, European Food Safety Authority, the regulatory agency of EU countries, has banned the utilization of synthetic color for food safety in the products that are consumed in EU countries, which subsequently promotes the growth of natural color market, thus indirectly boosting the demand for phycocyanin during the forecast period.

Analyst Review
In accordance with several interviews conducted, top-level CXOs agree that the food & beverage industry has slowly started phasing out artificial colors due to a rise in safety concerns and an increase in demand for natural colors. Phycocyanin is considered to be one of the most popular natural food colors among food & beverage manufacturers. Phycocyanin, extracted from spirulina, is a protein that imparts a vibrant blue color. In addition, it can be combined with other colors to make customized colors such as green, lavender, or violet shades, which makes it ideal for usage in various food & beverage products.
Phycocyanin extracted from Spirulina has high antioxidant, hypolipidemic, beta-carotene, and anti-inflammatory properties. It offers health benefits such as reduced cholesterol and blood pressure, owing to its exceptional properties. Growth in penetration of spirulina-based phycocyanin in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries is further expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
North America was the leading revenue contributor to the global phycocyanin market in 2020 and is expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the increase in demand for naturally derived food coloring agents in the region. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the study period, as it offers lucrative opportunities for market players owing to the favorable production environment for the phycocyanin processing industry in the region.
However, the existing challenges, such as close substitutes and a lack of awareness regarding the phycocyanin benefits, are expected to hamper the growth of the phycocyanin market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the high cost of natural colors, purification, and extractions, as well as the risk of algae contamination, are likely to restrain the growth of the market.
