Carrageenan: Introduction
- Carrageenan is made from parts of various red algae or seaweeds. It is commonly used to thicken foods. It is also employed in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics applications.
- Carrageenan is widely used in the food industry due to its capability to bind with water and enhance the properties of food ingredients. Rise in preference for food and pharmaceutical products with ingredients derived from plant sources instead of animal-derived ingredients, such as gelatin, is likely to increase the demand for carrageenan in the near future.
- Increase in usage of carrageenan as an ingredient in the production of bakery products, water-based foods, meat products, and pet foods is also boosting the carrageenan market
- Carrageenan can act as a fat replacer. This is also expected to drive its demand, as consumers increasingly prefer low-calorie, convenient food products. Furthermore, carrageenan serves as an alternative to gelatin for vegan and vegetarian products.
- Carrageenan is also utilized as a viscosity control agent in personal care products and water-based cosmetics due to its water-binding capacity. It functions as a thickening, stabilizing, and suspending agent in sunscreens, lotions, and body washes. For instance, products such as L'Oréal’s Pure-clay Glow-mask, and Natural Moisturizing Lubricant of DreamBrands Inc. contain carrageenan.

COVID-19 Impact on Carrageenan Market
- The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted a large number of countries across the globe. Various measures introduced to deal with the pandemic such as lockdowns, fall in trade activities, and closure of various factories and workplaces in several countries could save lives. However, they lead to wide-ranging economic effects, thus inducing an economic contagion.
- Carrageenan has antiviral properties. Therefore, it is being considered as a treatment for COVID-19. Shortage in supply of raw materials from various manufacturers of carrageenan around the globe has resulted in a severe demand-supply gap. Manufacturers are expected to be stranded on raw material orders owing to the logistics industry being significantly impacted due to the lockdown amid COVID-19.
- The shutdown in various countries across the globe has prohibited the import of various components including additives and raw materials. This is projected to hamper the carrageenan market.
