Lecithin & Phospholipids Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (De-Oiled, Modified), Source (Sunflower, Rapeseed & Canola, Egg), Application, and By Geography

Lecithin & Phospholipids Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (De-Oiled, Modified), Source (Sunflower, Rapeseed & Canola, Egg), Application, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Lecithin & Phospholipids Market is accounted for $5.17 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $9.03 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period. Lecithin is a fat that is essential for the cells in the body. Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are essential parts of the cell membrane.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing consumer awareness

Rising consumer awareness regarding the ill effects of the consumption of chemical ingredients and the presence of natural or organic ingredients as alternatives in the market drive the demand for natural food additives. The demand for natural food additives is increasing, due to which manufacturers are launching various products with natural ingredients that can provide an advantage to drive consumption. As lecithin, a type of food emulsifier is of natural origin, it is poised to witness an increase in adoption by the industry, thereby driving its market growth.

Restraint:

Replicability of lecithin & phospholipids

In spite of their significant role in food safety and shelf-life extension, the preference for synthetic emulsifiers over natural emulsifiers such as lecithin & phospholipid is proving to be a challenge for the market. There is limited availability of natural sources. Natural emulsifiers such as lecithin & phospholipids are yet to be manufactured on a larger scale; the commercialization of manufacturing processes of lecithin & phospholipids is also yet to happen.

Opportunity:

Changing consumer lifestyles

The trend of consumer preference for low-fat products is rapidly increasing, and marketing campaigns are planned around highlighting their use and health benefit claims. The demand for low-fat products may be driven by the increase in processed food production and innovation in almost all segments. The demand for the usage of lecithin is likely to grow continually in early adopting countries and exponential growth is projected in new and emerging markets.

Threat:

Fluctuating raw materials prices

Manufacturers of lecithin & phospholipids use egg and plant sources for the production of lecithin & phospholipids. These raw materials are available in large quantities. But, the fluctuating prices of raw materials obstruct the manufacturers’ profit margin. End-use manufacturers, especially food manufacturers, demand high-quality lecithin that can be sourced at low prices. The increase in prices of raw materials subsequently increases the processing cost of lecithin, resulting in a higher selling price.

The soy segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The soy segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth as soy is extensively chosen among manufacturers due to the sufficient availability of soybean and the cheap extraction process and it is also used as a replacement for cocoa butter in the chocolate industry, owing to the rising prices of cocoa butter.

The fluid segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The fluid segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for fluid lecithin from the feed industry and industrial applications. Apart from this, fluid lecithin is used in paints, varnishes, and textiles.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to busy lifestyles, urging consumers to opt for on-the-go and RTE products, growing population, and increasing per-capita income of consumers.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to rising demand for cosmetic items and increasing disposable income, which will be complemented by increased demand for skincare and hair care products.
