Phytosterols Market size was valued at US$ 500 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at US$ 992 million till 2030 recording a CAGR of 10.4% from 2024-2030. Phytosterols are plant-derived sterols present in fatty tissues of plants. These have a similar chemical structure as cholesterol and higher concentrations are found in vegetable oils, nuts, and beans. The difference between cholesterol and phytosterols is their absorption levels in the blood. Phytosterols absorbed at lower rate compared with cholesterol and helps to reduce the cholesterol levels in the body that leads to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease. The high nutritional benefits of phytosterols coupled with increase in the prevalence of coronary artery disease is a key factor that expected to drive the demand for phytosterols over the forecast period. Moreover, technological advancements in the extraction of phytosterols from plants, approval for the usage of phytosterols in food ingredients by various regulating bodies such as FDA and EU SFC, rise in R&D on the phytosterols beneficial aspects, and a wide range of applications of phytosterols such as anti-cancer properties are fuel the phytosterols market over the forecast years. However, poor bioavailability and solubility of phytosterols, high cost of products, alternative availability, and side effects associated with phytosterols may restrain the growth of the phytosterols market.
