description A bibliographic database of scientific papers published by authors affiliated to research institutions worldwide, especially focused in Europe and in the European Atlantic Area, and containing the keywords “microalga(e)” or “phytoplankton” was built. A corpus of 79,020 publications was obtained and analyzed using the Orbit Intellixir software to characterize the research trends related to microalgae markets, markets opportunities and technologies that could have important impacts on markets evolution. Six major markets opportunities, the production of <i>biofuels</i>, <i>bioplastics</i>, <i>biofertilizers, nutraceuticals</i>, <i>pharmaceuticals</i> and <i>cosmetics</i>, and two fast-evolving technological domains driving markets evolution, <i>microalgae harvesting and extraction technologies</i> and <i>production of genetically modified (GM-)microalgae</i>, were highlighted. We here present an advanced analysis of these research domains to give an updated overview of scientific concepts driving microalgae markets.
