In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the phytonutrient market.

Market Overview

To protect themselves from bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases, plants synthesize chemical substances known as phytonutrients. The main phytonutrients are vitamins, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and flavonoids. Phytonutrients aid in defending them against pests like aphids, insects, and other animals that eat them. These phytonutrients are advantageous to both plants and humans in several ways. They not only reduce inflammation and act as antioxidants, but they also support liver health. These substances benefit several industries, including food, drink, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, thanks to their health-promoting qualities. Fruits, vegetables, spices, cereals, beans, and oilseeds are some examples of foods high in phytonutrients. The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the increasing demand for phytonutrients from various industries, such as food & beverages, animal feed, and nutraceuticals, due to the increasing global population. There is an increasing demand for natural ingredients in the market since they offer a variety of colors & flavors, a longer shelf life, and nutritional value.

COVID-19 Impact:

Phytonutrient manufacture and end-user supply chains have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Resources and transportation were lacking, resulting in a lack of access to raw materials, delayed stock, and delays in supplies. Furthermore, the entire supply chain was distorted by restrictions on goods movement across countries. A disruption in the supply chain has caused raw materials to be unable to be transported, resulting in a halt in production. The unmet needs for phytonutrients in many industries, including food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and others, are due to inflated prices and production halts.

Growth Drivers

• The demand for phytonutrients in food and beverages to drive market growth

The growing global population is likely to stimulate demand for phytonutrients in the food and beverage industry. In the food and beverage industrials, phytonutrients such as carotenoids are employed as natural colorants. Phytonutrients are utilized as antioxidants in animal feed to improve animal growth and protect animals from oxidative damage caused by free radicals in the animal feed industry. Phytonutrients boost innate immunity in animals, particularly poultry. The increasing demand for nutraceutical goods to prevent and treat health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, skin and aging disorders, bone issues, cardiovascular illnesses, and others is expected to increase the demand for phytonutrients in nutraceutical applications.

Restraints

• The quality and quantity of the phytonutrients hamper the market growth

Excessive intake of some phytonutrients can cause side effects. Plant chemicals known as phytotoxins are toxic to humans. Humans are adversely affected by low doses of aristolochic acid, one of the phytochemicals. Some phytochemicals can hinder the absorption of nutrients due to their antinutrient properties. Phytonutrients such as polyphenols and flavonoids can act as prooxidants in high concentrations. It is likely that the quality determination technique for phytonutrients and their products is insufficient, which will hinder the global phytonutrients market's growth.

Segmentation Analysis

The global phytonutrient market has been segmented into type, application, source, and region.

Based on type, the market is divided into carotenoids, phytosterols, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, vitamin E, and others. Among these, the carotenoids segment led the market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period because carotenoids have antioxidant properties, and many industries are adopting them.

Based on the source, the market is classified into fruits & vegetables, cereals, pulses & oilseeds, herbs & trees, and others. In 2021, the fruits & vegetable category dominated the global market. Consumers are becoming more interested in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, which are high in phytonutrients and other vitamins. Furthermore, these food products provide many health benefits to customers, increasing market demand.

Based on application, the global phytonutrient market is segmented into food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and feed. Food & beverages are anticipated to have the highest share of this market in 2021. Phytonutrients will continue to be in high demand in food and beverage manufacturing. To meet the increasing demand from consumers, natural ingredients such as phytochemicals are becoming increasingly popular in food products. Hence, there is an increasing demand for natural ingredients in the market since they offer a variety of colors, flavors, a longer shelf life, and nutritional value.
