The aim of the present research was to examine the factors that limit the industrial development of marine macroalgae in the district of Marcona, Peru. To achieve this, we considered several variables that characterize its industrial development, such as exploitable biomass volume, extraction methods, transformation processes, aquaculture, and government regulation, correlating each variable under the Pearson’s coefficient. Hence, it was determined that the factors most associated with the industrial development of macroalgae in Marcona, Peru are extraction and transformation processes, because they exhibit a higher degree of correlation.
