Segments - Global Carotenoids Market by Types (Zeaxanthin, Lycopene, Lutein, Canthaxanthin, Beta-carotene, Astaxanthin, and Others), Sources (Synthetic and Natural), Formulations (Beadlet, Emulsion, Oil Suspension, and Powder), Applications (Cosmetics, Dietary Supplements, Feed, Food & Beverages, and Pharmaceuticals), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) Forecasts, 2023-2031
The global carotenoids market size was USD 1.87 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 2.64 Billion by 2031 expand at a robust CAGR 3.9% during the forecast period, between 2023 - 2031. Carotenoids are one of the most well-known pigments derived from photosynthetic microorganisms, plants, and algae. Papaya, carrot, apricot, orange, pumpkin, pineapple, and corn are some of the other significant natural sources of carotenoids.
They are a type of phytonutrient that are vital for plant health and high in other nutrients such as vitamin A and antioxidants. These products function as antioxidants that help in protecting the body against cellular damage, chronic diseases, and the consequences of ageing. These nutrients are widely used in the food & beverage industry as the overall aesthetics of food products are enhanced by making them more aesthetically appealing.

Based on types, the global carotenoids market is fragmented into zeaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, canthaxanthin, beta-carotene, astaxanthin, and others. The lutein segment is projected to hold significant market share due to wide use of lutein for various applications across food items. Lutein is basically found in a variety of plants or vegetables including carrots, egg yolks, squash, spinach, grapes, kale, and pepper.
Additionally, it is found in both animal nutrition and human products. Its widespread acceptance as a treatment for age-related eye problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts is a key element driving the segment growth.
On the basis of sources, the market is bifurcated into synthetic and natural. The natural source segment is anticipated to account for substantial share of the market due to their low cost and simplicity of extraction.
However, the need for pigments derived from natural sources is increasing as customers tend to prefer toward natural ingredients products associated with pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. Moreover, increasing number of population preferring organic products is a key driver of the segment growth.
In terms of formulations, the global carotenoids market is segmented into beadlet, emulsion, oil suspension, and powder. The beadlet segment is anticipated to expand at a robust growth pace during the projected timeline as beadlets are free-flowing spherical particles created by the use of spray drying technology.
They are typically stored in a dry, cold place away from heat, direct light, and oxygen, in an aluminum foil bag. Other significant advantages of utilizing beadlet formulations include improved cold water dispersion, stability, and shelf life extension.
Based on applications, the market is segregated into cosmetics, dietary supplements, feed, food & beverages, and pharmaceuticals. The feed segment is projected to register a substantial growth rate in the coming years owing to extensive use of carotenoids in feed to color broiler skin, egg yolks, crustaceans, and fish.
These applications also aid in raising immunity and improving animal health by improving nutrition quality, which acts as a key driver accelerating the segment growth. Feeding beta-carotene can boost the swine, fertility of cattle, and horses, whereas canthaxanthin and astaxanthin aid in the growth of larval fishes and salmon.
In terms of regions, the global carotenoids market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe is expected to dominate the market due to growing number of the ageing population and increasing demand for lycopene, lutein, and beta-carotene to treat cataracts and lower the risk of cancer, diabetes, and other heart-related diseases.
Key players competing in the global carotenoids market are BASF; AlgaTechnologies Ltd.; Koninklijke DSM; Chr. Hansen; Kemin Industries; Lycored Limited; Fuji Chemical Industry Co. Ltd.; Cyanotech Corporation; DDW The Color House; Novus International; Allied Biotech Corporation; Dohler Group; Farbest Brands; Dynadis SARL; and VIDYA HERBS.
These players have actively engaged in several market development activities such as collaborations, agreements, mergers & acquisitions, production capacity expansion, new product launches, and partnerships to increase their market share.
