The global phospholipid market size was valued at $2,846.1 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $5,647.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.1% from 2021 to 2030. In 2020, the soy segment accounted for the highest share in the phospholipid market.
A phospholipid is a type of lipid molecule, which is made of two fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a glycerol molecule. Phospholipid have several applications such as nutritional, pharmaceutical, and food,. There are many health benefits related to phospholipids, therefore, they are used widely for several studies related to the pharmaceutical industry.
Phospholipid is a promising natural ingredient for health products, owing to rise in consumer demand for natural supplements and ageing population. Many companies are releasing new natural health products, and some are substituting natural chemicals for synthetic ones in product formulations. Customers are more willing to try complementary and alternative medications, which propels demand for natural products. Customers strongly prefer natural and non-synthetic products to prevent ailments. Naturally sourced ingredients are preferred as customers feel safe. Associated health benefits and inclination of customers toward natural ingredients are the key reasons that drive demand for such products in the market.
Majority of phospholipids from soy sources are genetically modified. Genetically modified foods are a threat to the environment, pollution of soils, and a long-term threat to human health. It may have unknown long-term consequences that result in immunological alterations in the gut, decreased fertility, and exacerbation, and creation of allergies. It contains high concentrations of plant toxicants that represent thousands of plant biochemicals, many of which may have toxic effects on animals.
Ingredient labeling has become mandatory in developed economies such as the U.S. and the EU countries. This is due to increase in consumer awareness. Food labeling is a medium through which consumers acquire knowledge about the food they buy. Consumers are showing greater interest in natural and green labels. Therefore, phospholipid manufacturers are focused on safety and quality of products that are regulated by several governments to be clinically tested and approved to be used as an ingredient in end use products.
Strong global concerns about the pandemic, coronavirus, have largely but negatively influenced the global phospholipid market growth in 2020. Moreover, owing the high demand and low supply trends, prices of products increased in 2020 to overcome economic instability. On the contrary, disruptions to supply chain in shipping could lead to temporary shortages in the supply, putting upward pressure on prices in the short term.
