Executive Summary
Summary:
The global market for carotenoids is estimated to increase from $2.1 billion in 2024 to reach $2.9 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2024 through 2029.
The global carotenoids market reached a value of $2 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7%, reaching $2.9 billion by the end of 2029. Europe led the carotenoid market in 2023, driven by growing demand for natural and clean colorants in food and beverage products. The market is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 6.1% through 2029.
Carotenoids are naturally occurring color pigments widely used in food, beverages, animal feed, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dietary supplements and cosmetic industries. They are produced naturally from plants, algae, bacteria, yeast and mold or synthetically from chemicals.
Carotenoids are increasingly used to produce various health supplements, such as beta-carotene, which is used to make vitamin A. The rising demand for dietary supplements globally drives the demand for carotenoids. Increasing animal feed consumption in developing regions like India, Brazil and South Africa is expected to drive the demand for carotenoids throughout the forecast period. Additionally, growing consumer awareness of health, wellness and environmental impact fuels the demand for carotenoids, supporting market growth.
