The marine calcium market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.59% between 2023 and 2028. The market size is forecast to increase by USD 162.48 million. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including the high degree availability of marine calcium resources, rising demand for calcium supplements among consumers and the benefits of marine calcium in different industries.
The report includes a comprehensive outlook on the marine calcium market offering forecasts for the industry segmented by Application, which comprises supplements, cosmetics, and others. Additionally, it categorizes Types into brackish water and salt water and covers Geographical regions, including North America, APAC, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and South America. The report provides market size, historical data spanning from 2018 to 2022, and future projections, all presented in terms of value in USD million for each of the mentioned segments.
Marine calcium is a source of calcium derived from ocean species such as fishbones, shellfish, crustacean shells, and coral and seaweed. The production, distribution, and consumption of calcium comes from marine sources, mostly brackish and seawater. It has various applications, such as supplements, cosmetics, and others (animal feed and agriculture).
High degree availability of marine calcium resources is notably driving the market growth. Oceans are rich in biological resources, and calcium is an important mineral constituent of marine life. The main sources of calcium from the oceans include fishbones, shellfish and crustacean shells, and coral and seaweed. Therefore, marine calcium is an abundant resource that can be used as a calcium supplement. For instance, shellfish are a rich source of high-quality marine calcium; farmed shellfish reached more than 17.139 million tons globally.
However, there are approximately as many coral colonies in the Pacific Ocean as there are trees in the Amazon and more corals than birds in the world; it is estimated to be half a trillion in the Pacific Ocean. Thus, a high degree of availability of marine calcium can boost the growth of the marine calcium market during the forecast period.
The rising adoption of natural ingredients in the cosmetic industry is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The recent trend in the cosmetic field of substituting potentially chemical and synthetic materials with natural, safe, and sustainable ingredients has increased the development of biologically active ingredients from natural organisms. Therefore, there has been a significant rise in the demand for natural and organic cosmetics that contain little to no chemicals. Although skin care and hair care cosmetic products manufactured using synthetic ingredients are highly effective over the short term, their prolonged use is known to have detrimental effects on the skin and hair health.
However, recently, marine resources have been illustrated as a great potential for cosmetics. These cosmetics products with biologically active ingredients have many medical benefits. They are formulated not only to improve skin appearance but also to improve positive physiological effects at the cellular level. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the marine calcium market during the forecast period.
The presence of substitute products for marine calcium supplements is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Marine calcium supplements can be substituted with calcium prepared from other sources, such as calcium oxide, limestone, and others. Calcium supplements can be prepared from other sources such as dairy products, such as cheese, milk and yoghurt, dark green leafy vegetables, including broccoli and kale, and fortified foods.
Similarly, in the case of cosmetic products, apart from marine calcium, there are many other marine minerals, such as marine collagen, carotenoids, polysaccharides, fatty acids (sophorolipids, rhamnolipids, and mannosyl erythritol), proteins, and lipids, which can easily replace usage of marine calcium in the cosmetic industry. Such factors can have a negative impact on the marine calcium market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the supplements segment will be significant during the forecast period. Marine calcium supplements are used in correcting calcium deficiencies and strengthening tooth enamel for protection against bone loss and osteoporosis. Marine calcium supplements have the potential to increase bone turnover and aid in repairing damaged bones in humans.

The supplements segment was the largest and was valued at USD 220.22 million in 2018. Further, the demand for marine calcium supplements is increasing due to the rising prevalence of calcium deficiency, which can cause disorders such as osteoporosis, rickets, epilepsy, and anemia. As a result, people have increased their calcium intake through supplements based on the advice of doctors or the media. Moreover, the increasing presence of marine calcium supplements on e-commerce channels has driven the purchase of these supplements. Therefore, such factors increase the demand for the supplements segment, which, in turn, boosts the growth of the global marine calcium market during the forecast period.
Based on the type, the market has been segmented into brackish water and salt water. The brackish water?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.? Marine calcium derived from brackish water presents a novel and auspicious supply of this essential mineral. The brackish water segment continues to be a reliable source of marine calcium for a variety of industrial processes, a demand that is growing for environmentally friendly and sustainable industrial inputs. Thus, such factors tend to boost the brackish water segment, which, in turn, boosts the growth of the marine calcium market during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 32% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

Another region offering significant growth opportunities to companies is North America. North America will witness growth during the forecast period owing to the high prevalence of calcium deficiency among the population. For instance, around 44.1% of the US population does not meet their estimated average requirements for calcium. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data for 2017-2018, osteoporosis prevalence among adults aged 50 years and above was 12.6%. The prevalence was higher among women (19.6%) compared with men (4.4%). Such factors will increase the demand for marine calcium-based supplements during the forecast period.
Moreover, there are several marine biotechnology research centres in the country, such as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of California, San Diego, the Colorado State University, and the University of Delaware. These organizations are involved in marine-related research, which is increasing awareness about the advantages of marine-derived products and increasing their production and adoption. Such factors will drive the regional market growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies by analyzing factors such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product or service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
