Key Market Trends
GROWING EXPANSION IN IMMUNITY INGREDIENT SPACE

During the last decade, the immunity health segment has been witnessing an inflow of numerous novel and functional ingredients targeted toward specific health needs. From classical ingredients, such as vitamins and botanicals, the market is now shifting toward the use of ocean’s seaweed, such as fucoidan and yeasts’ beta glucans, to continue to diversify and expand the market.

In line with this, beta glucan, which is characterized as the most popular emerging ingredient in the immunity health segment, is witnessing huge demand from consumers globally. Yeast beta-glucan is derived from baker’s yeast, and is found to maintain or stimulate the effectiveness of the immune system.

Additionally, fucoidan extracts have been found to ameliorate acute colitis, have anti-cancer Activity mediate via natural killer (NK) cells, and affect inflammation, vascular physiology, as well as oxidative stress.

Asia-Pacific Region to Witness Fastest Growth

In Asia-Pacific region, China and Japan hold significant shares and expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The application of beta glucan in the infant formula products in China has been witnessing significant growth for the past couple of years, owing to the increasing demand and growing unit prices. After the two-child policy was officially executed in October 2015, the new-born population increased, which has been strengthening the need for infant formula and immunity-boosting ingredients in the various forms of food beverage and nutraceutical product from 2017, which has been driving the beta-glucan and fucoidan market.

In 2018, 28% of the population was aged over 65 years, up from 22% from 2008, which is supporting the demand for dietary supplements in the country.

In 2015, a regulatory body, “Foods with Functional Claims (FFC)”, was introduced in Japan. This classification allows specific health claims to be made about products. It had a positive impact on the performance of dietary supplements, especially with soluble fiber, like beta-glucan, toward the end of the review period.
