The wide application of carotenoid products in all food and non-food sectors is expected to provide future market growth opportunities. In addition, the various health benefits associated with the consumption of foods containing tetraterpenoids, beta carotene, lutein, and lycopene are expected to have an impact on product demand.

COVID-19 Impact

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 had a devastating effect on almost all industries as it limits the normal operation of the supply chain. Uncertainty has arisen in the supply chain due to production constraints, raw material acquisitions, and high delivery costs that have affected the entire market.

In addition, various governments have announced the temporary closure of airlines and various provincial councils have set aside isolation to prevent the spread of the virus. The above factors have had a negative impact on carotenoid product sales during the pandemic. However, due to the growing demand for food products as they fall under the category of essential commodities, the demand and sale of food and feed ingredients such as tetraterpenoids have revived the market during a period. To address this critical situation, various suppliers of food and beverages have developed policies, and they follow operating rules to ensure continuity in production and delivery. This is expected to continue to facilitate carotenoid Market growth through the re-establishment of the supply chain.

Carotenoid Market Segment Analysis – By source

The synthetically sources carotenoids held the largest share in the carotenoid Market in 2021 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.65% during the forecast period.

Carotenoids available from synthetic sources currently have higher demand and they have a large market share of carotenoids due to their low cost and easy availability. However, the demand for pigments sourced from natural resources is growing as consumers tend to consume medicines and other products containing natural pigments. The natural segment is expected to grow with a larger potential during the forecast period as consumer preferences change rapidly and demand for naturally sourced carotenoids is increasing at a rapid pace.

Carotenoid Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The animal feed segment held a share of around 29.5% in the carotenoid market in 2021 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

Carotenoids are widely used in animal feed products made for poultry, fish, or shrimp by their color properties. Therefore, animal feed is a leading component of the product application. The pigment of, broiler skin, egg yolks, and fish are enhanced by blending the carotenoid in the animal diet. The positive effect of beta-carotene supplementation in increasing the fertility of cattle, pigs, and horses is seen in one study. Carotenoids are also used in the food and beverage sector including processed food products such as bakery, milk, beverages, and others. There has been a steady and significant increase in the need for natural and organic carotenoids as consumers are now showing increasing awareness about the health benefits of foods that contain natural pigments. In addition, significant increases in demand, production, and consumption of active food products and dietary supplements due to its health-promoting properties are among the major factors positively influencing the market segment.

Carotenoid Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Europe has dominated the market in terms of volume and revenue by 2021. In terms of revenue, the region held the largest share more than 40% in the carotenoid market in 2021, owing to the various players in the region.

Currently, Europe is the largest market is expected to capture the market better further in the forecasted time. The food & beverages and cosmetics industry are among the most popular food coloring agents in European markets. The presence of a large and higher number of food processing plants and a well-established personal care and cosmetics industry in the region is at the forefront of the market growth of carotenoids industry. For an instance, the total revenue for the food industry in Germany was valued to be US$172.32 Billion in 2018 and has reached US$179.63 Billion in 2020. the data depicts that the increasing consumption of food and beverages is expected to be an opportunity for the carotenoid industry in the region.

Carotenoid Market Challenges

High Cost Associated with Carotenoid Pigments

The high cost of carotenoid pigments is one of the market restraints for the carotenoid industry. According to National Library of Medicine, the price of naturally derived carotenoids can reach up to US$7,500 per KG whereas synthetically derives carotenoids will cost nearly half of natural carotenoids making to US$3,000 TO US$3,500 per KG. The major concern for manufacturers is to manufacture natural carotenoids at a competitive price. This is one of the major challenges because the cost of producing natural carotenoids is high. Also, continuous research and development are needed to achieve the more efficient production of bioactive compounds. However, production costs are kept low by several players. This has resulted in the poor quality of the product. Hence, reducing costs and simplifying processes downstream coupled with the rearing of microorganisms that are also a source of rare carotenoids, and alternative products that can be catered with lower prices are expected to be implemented in the forecasted period.
