The Beta Glucan Market

Glucan is glucose polymers which are categorized in terms of their interchangeable linkage as either alpha or beta connected. Beta glucan are a heterogeneous class of Nan starch polysaccharides, which comprise D-glucose monomer conncted to it. Usually beta Glucan is the form of sugars which are found in cell walls of some bacteria, fungi, yeast and also plants, such as oats and barley. There are certain evidences available which prove that beta glucan have health benefits and are used to boost immunity, and in diabetes, and cancer etc. Rising incidence of chronic health disorders such as cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and obesity are projected to compel the attention of consumers towards the consumption of healthy dietary foods such as beta glucan in the coming years. For example, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 647,000 deaths happen from heart diseases in U.S. yearly. It is an indigestible fiber, which makes the digestion process slow, therefore regulating the blood sugar level. It also supports in boosting the immune system, which may further enhance the beta-glucan market share. The ability to control cholesterol levels in blood along with the growing consumer awareness about the requirement to maintain personal health and hygiene may boost market growth. Moreover, the expanding agricultural sector in developing countries together with the rising cultivation of soy and maize, which are raw materials for production of the product, is projected to further surge the beta glucan market demand. On the other hand, the variability in regulatory norms governing beta-glucan will hinder the market growth.

Furthermore, the changing lifestyles, increasing economy, and inclination towards natural products are witnessed in developing nations, resulting in the surge in demand for beta-glucan, not only in food, pharmaceutical products, and personal care but also in other industrial applications, such as animal feed and biofuel production. Developing nations such as China, India, and countries in the Middle East & Africa, in the coming years, is anticipated to experience a strong surge in demand for beta-glucan derived from various raw materials. This demand is ascribed to be driven by a rise in the consumption of healthy foods, nutraceuticals and personal care products. Additionaly, these regions also offer cost optimization in terms of labor cost, production, and processing. Increased demand, along with a low cost of production, is a key feature which is projected to support beta-glucan manufacturers to enter into new geographies.
