Microalgae and cyanobacteria represent a diverse renewable resource with significant potential for the industrial production of goods and services with high added value. However, scientific, technical/technological, legislative and market gaps and barriers still limit the growth of these markets in Europe and the number of exploited species. We conducted an in-depth survey of European microalgae researchers, experts and stakeholders to identify these limitations and to discuss strategies, recommendations and guidelines to overcome these barriers. Here, we present the findings of this study which detail the main promising markets for microalgae and cyanobacteria in the coming decades, an updated SWOT analysis of the sector, the current opportunities, limitations, risks and threats for microalgae research and market sectors in Europe, a traffic light analysis for a quick assessment of market opportunities for each microalgae sector and detailed recommendations/guidelines for overcoming the scientific, technical/technological, legislative and market gaps and barriers.

The Indonesian seaweed trade is still dominated by dry seaweed, even though Indonesia's seaweed still has high prospects for development. The purpose of this study is to analyze and provide strategies for supporting the prospects of Indonesia's seaweed trade. In achieving this goal, we use qualitative desk study methods and SWOT analysis. The results showed that Indonesia's seaweed trade still shows the opportunity to increase high added value by prioritizing the trade of semi-finished products rather than dried seaweed. This is supported by the strength of Indonesian seaweed which has a large potential for cultivation, a high number of laborer, high consumption of domestic and foreign seaweed derivative products and the availability of sufficient technology and expertise. Those strengths used to seize high import market opportunities. The existence of a national seaweed development road map also helps create a better prospect for seaweed trade.

In the third stage, the authors considered combinations of the SWOT analysis matrix. In the narrow branch aspect, this type of analysis helps to develop a multi-criteria model and perform its computer implementation (experiment), to obtain qualitative and quantitative interpretation, to determine directions for further development of the model, as well as ways of its practical use in product distribution (market) The authors determined that the main purpose of SWOT-analysis, as a matrix method, is to obtain reliable data on the company’s capabilities and threats to its promotion in the market of goods and services. Therefore, to achieve this goal before the SWOT-analysis are the following tasks: identifying marketing opportunities that correspond to the resources of the firm; identification of marketing threats and development of measures to neutralize their impact; identifying the strengths of the firm and comparing them with market opportunities; identification of the firm’s weaknesses and development of strategic directions for overcoming them; identifying the competitive advantages of the firm and the formation of its strategic priorities. Thus, during the practical application of the matrix method of SWOT-analysis, competitiveness was determined by the following features: qualitatively certain state (level) of the economy, stability of economic processes regardless of external and internal factors, resistance to various threats, development, resistance to the impact of external and internal threats, readiness and ability to create mechanisms to protect national interests, the ability to self-development and progress.

Global GDP is really important for trade, since the larger the global economy, the more goods and services available for trade. Global GDP grew by around two-thirds in real terms between 2000 and 2020 – or 2.6% per year on average.2020 saw some of the largest trade reductions and output volumes for both industrial production and goods trade since WWII. The year 2020 was marked by some of the largest reductions in trade and output volumes since WWII. The declines in both world industrial production and goods trade in the first half of 2020 were of similar depth to those at the trough of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). In addition, trade and production impacts across specific goods, services and trade partners were highly varied. Initial pandemic-era expectations for a double-digit decline in world merchandise trade in 2020 did not materialise. Global trade turned out to recover from the shock at an extraordinarily fast pace from around mid-2020.
