A growing clean-label segment
Sports and functional nutrition continues to grow, with consumers seeking natural, transparent and functional products. Demand for plant- and algae-derived inputs is rising as brands move away from synthetic additives.
Where phycocyanin fits
Phycocyanin sits at the intersection of natural colour and studied functional properties, fitting the premium, clean-label end of the market. Adoption depends on grade consistency and documentation that let brands make reliable claims.
The planning implication
Brands planning clean-label functional launches benefit from securing grade consistency and documentation early. Forward-looking note: SPIRUVA is in a pre-launch phase, with commercial production scheduled for July 2027. Market figures reflect published industry trends and are directional, not guarantees.
