Report Overview

In 2021, the global beta-glucan market was valued at USD 514.62 million. It is projected to grow at a revenue-based annual growth rate of 4.62% from 2023-to 2032. Growth is expected to be driven by the increasing use of beta-glucan as an immune booster medicine in the pharmaceutical industry and the nutraceutical sector. The growth is likely to be driven by changing consumer preferences towards nutritious food supplements instead of synthetic ingredients. The increasing awareness of manufacturers about multiple sources, harvesting and processing, as well as extraction methods, will drive the industry to expand. Manufacturers are using innovative, patented technologies to increase market share and overall sales.

Global Beta-Glucan Market Scope:

Source Analysis:

Because of its superior physiological properties, cereal is a popular source of beta-glucan in bakeries and other food products. This segment is expected to grow at a 6.23% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Cereals have been proven to have positive effects on human bodily functions, making them a major source of raw material to extract the product.

The highest number of industries where mushroom-based products will be used. In the manufacture of beta-glucan from specific mushrooms or fungi such as shiitakes, reshis, maitakes, and turkey tails are used in cosmetics formulations.

Because of its low cost, Baker’s yeast is one of the most popular sources of this product. It is used extensively in the food and beverage industries as well as an inexpensive animal feed. It has higher active links than mushrooms sourced yeast, which is why it is used in the pharmaceutical industry for cancer treatment.

Seaweed-derived products are mainly used in the production and sale of dietary supplements for food and beverages. This is expected to fuel industry growth in the coming years. The market is expected to grow as major manufacturers adopt advanced algae-based technology for extracting beta-glucan.

Type Analysis:

Beta-glucans in their soluble form are obtained from yeast and cereals through fractionation. They can be dissolvable in water and alkali, which are used in the preparation of cosmetic ingredients and drugs. Due to the rising demand for cosmetics, the global demand for soluble beta-glucan fibre will increase over the forecast period.

Soluble fibres dissolve easily in water and travel through the digestive system becoming gelatinous. This helps to remove cholesterol and balance blood glucose. The market for soluble products is expected to grow due to the rising demand for pharmaceutical formulations.

Insoluble compounds are usually mixed with methyl sulfuride and urea, or partially sulphated by sulfuric acid. This product is used extensively in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical biofuels, which will be a benefit to the market.

The insoluble beta-glucan powder can be used to make cosmetics. It is inert in its natural state and compatible with many ingredients. Cosmetics manufacturers use an insoluble version of an antifungal cream, antimicrobial crème, and other oral care products. This is expected to fuel the industry’s growth.

Application Analysis:

Major players in the market, Tate & Lyle Plc and DSM NV, have increased the production of beta-glucan beverages. This is due to the growing consumer preference for these health supplements. Consumption of the product is also linked to health benefits such as cognitive improvement and prevention of cancer.

Beta-glucan is found in cosmetics and personal care products made from oats. Oat-based products have been shown to stimulate and promote macrophages in skin layers, which in turn encourages the protective qualities of keratinocytes. This aids in skin texture repair. This is due to the increased demand for cosmetics.

It is expected that the pharmaceutical industry will be a large consumer of beta-glucan. The product is sourced from yeast as it is cheaply coupled. The market for beta-glucan-containing drugs has seen steady growth since the ban on antibiotics in animal food. This is expected to drive demand.

Market Dynamics:

The United States is a developed country with high levels of investment in research and development to invent new drugs, animal feed, and innovative formulations with organic substances. Preparation of cancer treatment drugs is the most common use of the mushroom. This is expected to be the driver of growth for the next eight years.

Production will be driven by factors such as increasing awareness about sustainable sourcing and organic substitutes for medicines. To attract large numbers of customers, producers are using various certifications and regulations, including FSSC 22000 and GRAS, USDA Organic and Fairtrade.

Substitutes have moderately affected the industry, including guar gum and natural compounds that act as immunomodulators. Industry growth will be impeded by factors like the increased marketing and advertising of substitutes.

There are several extraction methods that can be used to extract beta-glucan. These include dry and wet fractionation, amniotic membrane, chemical extraction using acids and bases, and dry and wet fractionation. The type of extraction used will determine the yield of the product.

Regional Analysis:

Due to its large base of consumer industries, Asia Pacific is expected to be a major industry for beta-glucan. China is expected to have the largest share of consumption and production over the next eight years.

Product growth is expected to be driven by the presence of several major European players, high disposable income, and changing consumer preferences regarding nutraceutical supplement consumption over the next eight-year. Many companies are investing in innovative manufacturing techniques that can be tailored to the needs of the end-user industries. This is expected to fuel the growth.

North America is expected to be a major consumer of the product in cosmetic applications, functional foods and ready-to-drink beverages. Due to the high demand for organic cosmetic formulations as well as pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of cancer.
