The global beta-glucan market size is expected to reach USD 1,285.40 Million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Beta-Glucan Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Source (Yeast, Cereal & Grains [Barley, Oats and Others], Mushroom, Others); By Type; By Functionality; By Purity; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024-2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Beta-glucan is driven by several factors such as more people adapting to vegan or plant-based foods, increasing awareness related to health consciousness, and the popularity of nutritious food options. The global population growth has also contributed to the wider availability and consumption of beta-glucan, along with advancements in technology for extracting and processing it, which will further accelerate market growth.

Additionally, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has looked into using beta-glucan as a layer on paper-based packaging. This use intends to strengthen the packaging against water and make it last longer. For instance, Biopack, a company that makes food packaging, introduced a beta-glucan-based layer in 2021. This new layer not only improves how well the packaging resists water and lasts but also fits in with goals for being kinder to the environment, making packaging more eco-friendly.

Beta-glucan exhibits diverse cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, demonstrating direct antitumor activity. This includes inhibiting cell growth, inducing cell cycle arrest at various phases and checkpoints, promoting apoptosis, and modulating signal transduction pathways linked to alterations in key enzyme expression involved in tumor development. Furthermore, in cancer cells, beta-glucans can trigger apoptosis by inhibiting telomerase activity, impacting mitochondrial membranes, and modifying the expression and function of apoptosis-related genes, such as caspase 3 & p53.

The rising application of beta-glucan in cosmetic and personal care items is a significant driver for the beta-glucan market, as it surges the demand for beta-glucans. With more haircare, skincare, and personal care products utilizing beta-glucan for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging characteristics, the requirement for this ingredient expands, resulting in increased production and sales of beta-glucans.
