Market Insight

The global carotenoid market is projected to reach USD 2,070 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 4% from 2018 to 2023.

Carotenoids are normally found in microorganisms, algae, and higher plants as well as some animal species. They provide bright yellow, red, and orange color and protect these species from the harmful effects of light, air, and sensitizer pigments. Carotenoids are majorly used as food coloring agents. However, with the advancements in biotechnology and recombinant DNA technology, the extraction of carotenoids is more commercially viable now than before. This has led to an increase in the production of carotenoid-based products. Consumers are more informed about the health benefits of carotenoid-based supplements and fortified foods. They use them as a preventive measure against ailments like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, cataracts, macular degeneration, and skin damage. The growth of the functional foods market is also expected to boost the market for carotenoids. Although there are hundreds of carotenoids, only a few are used for commercial purposes. The carotenoids market has grown significantly in the past few years due to its increasing end-use applications in animal feed, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, etc.

Other factors include rising health ailments like obesity and nutrient deficiency and changing consumer preferences towards natural nutritional supplements.

There is an increasing demand among consumers for clean and natural products that are made from natural supplements and colors. This has forced manufacturers to work on the extraction of carotenoid via natural means.

By type, carotenoids are further sub-segmented into beta-carotene, astaxanthin, lutein, annatto, canthaxanthin, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and others.
