Carotenoids Market to Witness Huge Growth by 2024

The global Carotenoids market was estimated at USD 1.21 billion in the year 2015 and is likely to witness significant growth, due to its increasing usage in numerous applications such as food, dietary supplements, animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Growing health awareness among consumers has led to increased usage of natural food products and nutritive supplements. This scenario is considered to drive the consumption of carotenoids over the years ahead.

Carotenoids also known as tetraterpenoids are color imparting organic pigments, that naturally occur in fruits, leafy vegetables, and roots. These products play the role of antioxidants and provide protection to the human health against chronic diseases, cellular damage, and aging. These organic pigments have found a rising usage in dietary supplements, due to growing health issues among the younger and older working populace groups that are aged in the range of 18 to 64 years.

Tetraterpenoids are commercially available in orange, yellow and red colors. The orange colored products include alpha-, beta-, and gamma-carotene, while the red and yellow ones include lycopene and lutein respectively. Animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are the next major uses of the market.

Treatment of diabetes, eye disorders and cancer is likely to drive the demand of tetraterpenoids during the forecast period. Increasing research activities for developing high value natural carotenoids is expected to offer considerable growth opportunities in the industry during the forecast period. However, the stringent regulatory framework in developed regions is likely to hamper the industry growth.
