Containing the widespread of the virus is a difficult challenge to all of the countries because many sectors will have to compromise and deal with the effects in the most advantageous way possible. A solid pull back on the growth of the spirulina market is the disruption of supply chain since manufacturing and distribution of key players or companies are being limited, if not, controlled by governments through imposing lock downs and halting travels across borders.
The real challenge lies in the disruption in raw materials supply because it is negatively affecting manufacturers since travel, transport of raw materials, and non-essential trade has been put off in many countries. This in turn affected production, causing fewer volume of product sales. Spirulina suppliers have also experienced repercussion because imports and exports in almost all countries have been restricted. The lock downs have caused a delay in the operations and facility shutdowns became a real challenge that these key players needed to face. Some raw materials needed for the production can only actually be acquired through importing and suppliers in turn, were having a hard time exporting these supplies due to border restrictions and hold up. The algae industry has witnessed an enormous set back with respect to sales of spirulina in the first quarter of 2021 because logistics and transportation issues arise. The market also suffered interruptions in spirulina bio-mass production, packaging and distribution.
