Agar is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed and is widely used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and cosmetic industries. It is one of the most important hydrocolloids used globally, especially in vegetarian and plant-based products, due to its strong gelling ability and natural origin.

Though agar is a mature ingredient, its market continues to expand steadily due to increasing demand for natural food additives, plant-based ingredients, and microbiological media. Manufacturers worldwide are improving extraction technologies, quality control systems, and supply chains to meet rising global demand.

The global agar market is segmented based on product grade and application. By grade, it is classified into food grade, bacteriological grade, and pharmaceutical grade. By application, the market includes food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, microbiology laboratories, biotechnology, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals.

The global agar market is valued at USD 307.1 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 500.2 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5%. Growth is driven by expanding food processing industries and increasing use of agar in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications.

India’s agar market is also growing due to rising demand from confectionery, bakery, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors, supported by strong seaweed availability along India’s coastal regions.

Agar is produced through extraction of red seaweed using hot water, followed by filtration, gel formation, drying, and milling into powder form. It is supplied as flakes, strips, or fine powder and is used in small quantities to provide strong gel structure and stability.

The agar industry is experiencing increasing innovation and competition. Key global players include Merck KGaA, Thermo Fisher Scientific, B&V Srl, Hispanagar, Marine Hydrocolloids, Agarindo Bogatama, and Norevo GmbH, along with several regional seaweed processors.
