Spirulina from Gaume – Investing in a local and sustainable superfood
Spiruline de Gaume offers investors the opportunity to participate in the rise of an artisanal player in a rapidly growing European market. With a clear positioning—artisanal spirulina in twigs, local, pure, and traceable—and concrete development plans, the company aims to become the Belgian benchmark for premium spirulina.
The global spirulina market is estimated at $1.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $4.5 billion by 2032 (+16.7% CAGR). In Belgium, almost 100% of the spirulina consumed is imported, leaving strategic room for high-quality local production. This is especially true given that imported industrial spirulina is of lower quality.
