Global Phytosterols Market

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Phytosterols Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027,” finds that the global phytosterols market size reached US$ 756.2 Million in 2021. Phytosterols, also known as plant sterol or stanol esters, are naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes, unrefined vegetable oils, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes. As phytosterols are structurally similar to the cholesterol found in animals, they are consumed to block cholesterol absorption in the digestive system. In addition, they interfere with cholesterol absorption in the intestine by displacing its molecules from micelles and facilitating excretion, thus resulting in lower blood cholesterol levels. As a result, they help prevent cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), obesity, and different types of cancers.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.

Global Phytosterols Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, leading to the demand for foods that are rich in phytosterols. Moreover, owing to the potential health benefits, phytosterols are used to fortify food products such as milk, sausages, baked goods, yogurts, spreads, and margarine, to enhance their nutritional content. Besides this, the market is favored by the increasing utilization of herbal and mineral extracts as food additives. In addition, phytosterols have skin-replenishing and anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, they find extensive applications in the cosmetics and skincare industry, which represents another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the increasing research and development (R & D) activities to enhance the therapeutic benefits of phytosterols are also creating a positive market outlook across the globe.
