According to the report, one driver in the market is growing demand from baking and confectionery industry. Bakery and confectionery products include products that are jellified for a prolonged shelf life and appealing look. The latter is vital because visual appeal plays an important role in the purchase decision of consumers, especially in the bakery industry. Agar-agar gum prevents the products from sticking and makes them more palatable. The availability of a variety of agar-agar gum in the market is driving its growth. For instance, Japan-based MARINE SCIENCE offers agar-agar gum that is suitable for baked products such as sweet dough buns and loaves, croissants, and pastries.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is price fluctuations. Fluctuations in the prices of agar-agar are generally very high, and there is a scarcity of algae from which agar-agar is made. The produce and yield that is obtained from the base raw material, seaweeds, is extremely limited, while its supply is also constrained. For instance, US-based Thermo-Fischer Scientific has halted the supply of two agar-agar varieties, technical LP0013 and bacteriological LP0011, on a temporary basis, to maintain the supply of manufactured dehydrated culture media (DCM) to customers.
