Press Release

Marine Biotechnology Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.08% through 2030

Increasing demand for marine derived product is expected to drive the growth of global marine biotechnology in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Marine Biotechnology Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2030F”, The Global Marine Biotechnology Market was valued at USD 6.35 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 9.57 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.08%. This can be ascribed to the increasing development in healthcare industry demand for uses of marine organisms to develop new biomaterials. Additionally, increasing marine organisms such as algae and fungi in different industry like food, cosmetics especially in the developed countries in the North America and Europe is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market growth in coming years. Besides, increasing demand for marine derived nutritional supplements is further expected to support the market growth. Also, rising demand from the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors would generate new opportunities for the global marine biotechnology industry to expand in the forecast period. Similarly, rising usage of marine products in the food, cosmetics, and agricultural industries is fueling the market for marine biotechnology and research advancements in medicine, fisheries, and aquaculture are all major industry drivers for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

However, government strict regulation with the costly delivery procedure slows down the growth of the Global Marine Biotechnology Market in the forecast period. Similarly, technical barriers related to costly discovery procedures and limited capacity to develop the microorganisms in the laboratory may hamper the marine biotechnology market growth during the forecast period. Also, large-scale financial barriers due to the relatively low profile of marine biotechnology can further restrict the growth of the global marine biotechnology market. Similarly, the limited capacity for organism development in the lab, significant financial challenges brought on by the relatively low profile of marine biotechnology, which leads to underfunding, as well as legal and regulatory challenges, particularly about access to marine resources may hamper the growth of the market during the forecasted years.

The Global Marine Biotechnology Market is segmented into type, technology, application, end user industry, regional distribution, and company. 

Based on Technology, the culture-independent techniques segment is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by the need to explore the largely uncharted microbial diversity of marine environments and to bypass the limitations of traditional cultivation methods. Strong backing from government agencies, integration with advanced genomics and AI tools, and the broad spectrum of industrial applications are propelling this technology to the forefront of marine biotechnology innovation. Moreover, several national and international programs are supporting the advancement of culture-independent marine biotechnology. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute (JGI) actively funds metagenomics research to explore microbial diversity in oceans. Similarly, the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme supports marine microbiome projects through large-scale funding and infrastructure investments. In India, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) under the Ministry of Science and Technology has funded projects on marine metagenomics and microbiome research as part of its thrust on blue economy initiatives. The focus is on bioprospecting deep-sea habitats and enhancing marine resource utilization through non-culture-based methods.

Based on the Region, Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the global marine biotechnology market. This rapid growth is fueled by expanding government support, a rich reservoir of marine biodiversity, increasing demand for sustainable marine-derived products, and growing investments in marine research and industrial biotechnology. Several countries across the Asia-Pacific region—including China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia—are actively developing their blue economy strategies. These strategies prioritize the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and marine ecosystem health, with marine biotechnology playing a central role. For instance, China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) includes marine biotechnology as a key focus area under its broader push for innovation-driven development and ecological sustainability. China has made significant investments in marine bioengineering, deep-sea exploration, and marine pharmaceuticals. The government supports national research programs through institutions like the Chinese Academy of Sciences and marine research hubs such as the Qingdao Marine Science and Technology National Laboratory.
