Lecithin and Phospholipids Market By Source (Soy, Sunflower, Rapseed and Canola, Egg, Others), By Type (Fluid lecithin, De-oiled lecithin, Modified), By Application (Feed, Food and beverages, Industrial, Healthcare), By Nature (GMO, NON-GMO): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

The global lecithin and phospholipids market was valued at $5,126.0 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $8,758.9 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.6%. Lecithin is a multi-purpose food ingredient that primarily functions as an emulsifier and dispersing agent and is widely used in feed, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industry. Lecithin is a complex mixture of phospholipids from natural sources such as soy, sunflower, rapeseed, and canola. The consumption of fats is essential for properly functioning the liver, nerves, brain, and other organs. Phospholipids are crucial compounds for forming the protective membrane that surrounds human body cells. These comprise two alcohols, a phosphate group, and one or two fatty acids. Lecithin and phospholipids are found in soy, egg, sunflower, canola, rapeseed, meat, seafood, and other sources.

The increase in demand for clean-label ingredients is expected to drive the growth of the lecithin and phospholipids market. Clean-label ingredients refer to food product labels that do not contain easy-to-detect and understandable components. The surge in the number of younger consumers drives the trend for clean-label ingredients.

They are becoming more aware of the ingredients and how the product is being made for their consumption. The surge in awareness about clean-label elements among developing regions such as Asia-Pacific is projected to propel the market demand during the estimated period. Animal feed manufacturers are also using lecithin and phospholipids. Low digestibility of fat and vitamins is unavoidable due to intestinal insufficiency of the liver and insufficient bile secretion in the early stages of poultry. Therefore, adding lecithin can help overcome some of the early physiological defects of poultry and ensure the rapid growth of young birds. Lecithin not only has the nutritional value found in livestock and poultry feed, but it can also gel in water, which aids in the adsorption of organic nutrients together, reduces nutrient loss, and improves the environment for aquatic products.

The global cosmetics business is rapidly expanding, owing to an increased consciousness about apparency among people and the desire for different cosmetic goods, skincare products, beauty care products, and personal care products. The expansion of well-known cosmetic companies in western nations, the availability of new decorative items, and improved product quality have contributed to increased market demand and sales. Furthermore, cosmetics companies are adopting the usage of clean labeling on their products that will convey a clear message about the ingredients used in the products, thus attracting a large consumer base. Thus, an increase in cosmetic product sales creates the need for emulsifiers, thereby boosting the growth of the lecithin and phospholipids market.

The probable mechanism behind the reported effects of lecithin and phospholipids is unknown. However, it might be mediated by changes in the gut microbiota, enhanced bacterial translocation, or both. Overall, consumers are becoming aware of the importance of maintaining good health, preventing them from consuming food & beverages containing synthetic ingredients. The decline in consumption of food containing synthetic emulsifiers is reducing market sales of food and drinks. Lowering saledealsit the demand for lecithin and phospholipids, restricting emulsifier market growth.

The lecithin and phospholipids market is segmented into the source, type, application, nature, and region. Based on the source, the market is categorized into soy, sunflower, rapeseed & canola, egg, and others. By type, it is fragmented into fluid lecithin, de-oiled lecithin, and modified.
