Phytonutrients Market Continues To Gain Significant Traction with BASF Care Creations Launching Four New Skin and Hair Nourishment Products Cultivated From Vietnamese Rambutan
Phytonutrients
are food-based chemicals that are produced by plants, usually for the purpose
of helping them defend themselves against bacteria, fungi, and other forms of
plant-borne disease. Some phytonutrients are now being used as natural poisons
and others are still used traditionally as traditional medicine. In recent
years, however, phytonutrients have gained much more popularity as a source of
dietary nutrition. There are many different types of phytonutrients, including
those that have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, quaternary
antigens, and synthetic antigens. A number of plants produce phytonutrients in
various amounts; some are more abundant than others.
Increasing
demand for phytonutrients in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive growth
of global phytonutrients market. The pharmaceutical industry is
increasingly expanding in both developed and emerging economies with increasing
use of phytonutrients in diabetes medications. According to the India Brand
Equity Foundation (IBEF), India’s domestic pharmaceutical market was valued at
US$ 20.03 billion in 2019, increasing from US$ 18.12 billion in 2018. Besides,
rapidly increasing heart diseases and stroke cases have increased the demand
for phytonutrients worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), over 795,000 people suffer from a stroke in the U.S.
Phytonutrients can enhance immunity and intercellular communication, which can
help prevent the above-mentioned diseases. Hence, such factors are expected to
drive growth of the global phytonutrients market. Furthermore, increasing
end-use applications such as in functional foods are expected to propel the
global phytonutrients market growth in the near future.
However, a
lack of awareness among consumers is expected to hamper the global
phytonutrient market growth in the near future. Besides, the promotion of
phytonutrients to control cancer can present lucrative growth opportunities in
the near future. Among regions, Europe is expected to witness significant
growth in the global phytonutrients market. This is owing to growing fitness
awareness among consumers in the U.K. and Germany. Furthermore, North America
is expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to increasing public awareness
regarding the health benefits of a plant-based products in the region.
Key
competitors operating in the global phytonutrients market are Archer Daniels
Midland Company, Takasago International Corporation, BASF SE, Allied Biotech,
Chr. Hansen Holding A/S, Kemin Industries Inc., DSM Nutritional Products Ltd,
and Cyanotech Corporation.
For
instance, in June 2019, BASF Care Creations launched four new active
ingredients Rambutan, Nephydrat, Nephoria, and Rambuvital for skin and hair
nourishment cultivated from Vietnamese rambutan.
