Plant sterol esters significantly impact the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the body. When consumed, plant sterol esters compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the small intestine. Due to their structural similarity, plant sterol esters can effectively block the absorption of dietary cholesterol by displacing it from the micelles that aid in absorption. The market growth of plant sterol esters is propelled by the rising demand from the food and beverages industry in both developed and developing economies. Plant sterol esters, heterogeneous chemical composites formed through the esterification of sterols and fatty acids, are naturally present in small quantities in various cell types. Also known as phytosterols, they are naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes. The increasing demand for plant sterol esters is driven by their expanding application areas, such as confectionery, spreads, and dressings.
According to Data Bridge Market Research, the Plant Sterol Esters Market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.95% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
“Rise in demand for plant sterol esters by the food and beverages industry drives the market’s growth”
The food and beverages industry is experiencing a significant rise in demand for plant sterol esters, driving the growth of the plant sterol esters market. Plant sterol esters are natural compounds derived from plants that have cholesterol-lowering properties. As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing interest in products that promote heart health. Plant sterol esters are being incorporated into various food and beverage products, such as spreads, dairy alternatives, and functional beverages, to provide cholesterol-lowering benefits, thereby fueling market growth.
What restraints the growth of the plant sterol esters market?
“Insufficiency in raw material demand and supply restraints the market’s growth”
The growth of the plant sterol esters market is being hampered by insufficiency in raw material demand and supply restraints. Plant sterol esters are typically derived from vegetable oils, and any disruptions in the availability of these raw materials can impact production. Factors such as climate change, natural disasters, and fluctuating agricultural conditions can affect the cultivation and harvest of these raw materials, leading to limited supply. Additionally, increasing demand for plant sterol esters may outpace the available raw material resources, further restraining market growth.
