Sales of curcumin food color accounted for ~5.9% of the sales in the global natural food colors market which was valued at US$ 1.6 Bn in 2021.

Due to the growing demand for products from the industries that manufacture alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, the curcumin food color sector is anticipated to have significant expansion.

The sodium citrate dihydrate market is estimated to be worth USD 742.5 million by 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1,077.4 million by 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 3.8% over the assessment period 2025 to 2035.

Sodium citrate dihydrate compound is soluble in water and is used handily in numerous places where a moderately acidic compound will suffice. The primary applications of this compound include the enhancement of the stability, and shelf life of foods within the food segment especially foods within categories such as milk, beverages, and processed foods.

Besides being widely used food sector it also finds applications in pharmaceuticals which include anticoagulant preparations and esterification control functions. It is also used in laboratories, industries, chemical products, cosmetics, and in preparing cleaning materials.

Rising demand from the medical industry is anticipated to boost sodium citrate dihydrate sales. Additionally, growing interest in seasonal beverages and new detergent applications is contributing to the increased demand. The market is also expected to benefit from the rising consumption of processed foods and beverages, which will further expand its share.

The report highlights factors driving the sales of sodium citrate dihydrate and the opportunities for market players. However, challenges also exist that may prevent the market from reaching its full potential.

Key trends boosting demand for sodium citrate dihydrate include urbanization, the growing need for pharmaceutical supplies, increased consumer awareness, and a shift towards packaged foods. The rising demand from the pharmaceutical sector is expected to fuel market growth in the coming years.

Seasonal variations in beverage demand and new applications in detergents are the primary drivers for the increase in sodium citrate dihydrate sales. However, fluctuations in raw material prices pose challenges to the steady growth of the global sodium citrate dihydrate market.

Sodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7•2H2O), also known as citric trisodium salt dihydrate or trisodium citrate dehydrate, is derived from citric acid and comes in granular or powder form. It has a salty yet pleasant taste, is odorless, and dissolves readily in water. While it is slightly deliquescent in moist air, it is insoluble in alcohol. It is produced by neutralizing citric acid with high-purity sodium hydroxide or carbonate and then crystallizing the solution.

Sodium citrate dihydrate is a non-toxic, neutral salt with low reactivity and stable chemical properties when stored at ambient temperatures. Its biodegradability and compatibility with regular waste or sewage disposal contribute to its appeal, further driving sales.

For instance:

• In 2023, Amsino International Inc. bought MedXL Inc., which has greatly enhanced its manufacturing capability in the North American region. This acquisition not only enables Amsino to acquire MedXL’s assets and product registrations; it also adds to Amsin’s product line a slew of prefilled syringes, particularly those that contain sodium citrate formulations. The initiative is to enhance the company’s supply chain flexibility in the face of shifting geopolitics and improve customer satisfaction with the prospect of achieving an added 500 million annual vehicle output.
• In 2023, The Indian government approved the sale of two fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs: For cough relief with Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Ammonium Chloride + Sodium Citrate, and depression with Imipramine + Diazepam. These combinations were considered rational by an expert committee. Nonetheless, 14 other FDCs were prohibited as they were deemed irrational, which asserts enduring pressure in the pharmaceutical industries.

Palm Mid-Fraction is favored over other palm oil by-products for its superior shelf-life stability in end-use products. It is typically produced through the fractionation process, which separates its components, primarily stearin and olein. Double-fractionation of these phases results in palm mid-fraction, which is rich in tocopherol and carotene. This ingredient is primarily utilized in the production of edible fats and butter substitutes. Additionally, palm oil used in industrial processes is transformed into various derivatives.

The global palm oil and mid-fraction industry is projected to reach a valuation of USD 237 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4%, reaching USD 285 billion by 2032. The palm mid-fraction market is primarily driven by increasing demand for baked goods and ready-to-eat food products.

Palm mid-fraction is a key ingredient in the production of cocoa butter equivalents (CBE). It also serves as a healthier alternative to hydrogenated soft oils commonly used in bakery and confectionery products. This shift toward palm mid-fraction is driving market growth, particularly as consumers increasingly prioritize health-conscious choices.

Opportunities for Palm Mid-Fraction Market Participants:

On the supply side, several opportunities exist for the Indonesian SMEs (Small & Medium-sized Enterprises) to capitalize in the European market, as also the RSPO constituency is coming up special plans to bring Indonesian SMEs under its wing. With their palm mid-fraction meeting quality and sustainability standards, Indonesian palm mid-fraction manufacturers have ample opportunities to tap into the European market potential.

Met by promising demand from the bakery and confectionery industry in Europe and North America for palm mid-fraction, healthy support from government and regulatory bodies is further likely to create a win-win scenario in the palm mid-fraction market for the Indonesian manufacturers.

Demand for packaged bakery products fuelling palm mid-fraction market growth

As bakery and on-the-go products are a favorite amongst the younger generations, their demand has grown considerably in the past decade. These products which are the major end-use applications for the palm oil & mid-fraction are indirectly driving the growth of the palm mid-fraction market.

Also, manufacturers are facing challenges to developed bakery products which parade combined qualities of shelf life stability as well as good texture and taste in bakery products. The demand for palm oil & mid-fraction is spurred through developing regions such as Nigeria, whose economy is significantly dependent on the production and export of edible fats and oils.

Barriers in the palm mid-fraction market are apparent in the supply chain. The palm mid-fraction demanded in developed countries should be certified for its high quality and sustainability and these expectations are not met across all participants in the supply chain of palm mid-fraction, due to the very fact that in developing regions like Malaysia, production and transport of palm mid-fraction comes at a cost, which the processors are often not ready to pay.

Certifications mainly concern the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) and greenhouse gas emission reductions. RSPO traders and manufacturers of palm mid-fraction are a significant constituency in the palm mid-fraction market, representing about 48% of global palm oil trade.

Global Palm Mid-Fraction market: Key Market Participants

Examples of some of the market participants in the global palm mid-fraction market identified across the value chain are Mewah Group, Intercontinental Specialty Fats Sdn. Bhd., Felda Iffco Sdn Bhd and Pavlos N. Pettas S.A. amongst others.

The global lutein market, valued at USD 392.1 million in 2024, is projected to reach USD 663.5 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period (2024-2034).

Lutein, a natural carotenoid pigment, is highly sought after across multiple sectors, including pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food and beverages, personal care, and cosmetics. Sourced primarily from marigold flowers, this bright yellow-orange molecule is renowned for its potent antioxidant properties and its critical role in promoting human wellness. Lutein is particularly valued for its benefits in skin protection, cognitive function, and eye health, making it a staple in products targeting older adults and health-conscious consumers.

The market is experiencing robust growth due to the rising demand for nutritional supplements and functional food products enriched with lutein. The pharmaceutical industry is also driving demand by incorporating lutein into treatments for eye-related conditions. Furthermore, the animal feed industry is leveraging lutein to enhance the nutritional content and visual appeal of animal products.

Regionally, North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific are poised to lead the market due to the strong presence of key players, increasing consumer wellness awareness, and the growing use of lutein in functional foods and beverages. Emerging markets in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa are also witnessing a surge in interest, further contributing to global market expansion.

Lutein is a type of organic pigment that goes by the name carotenoid. These are one of the two main carotenoids that are found in the human eye. The primary function of lutein is to protect the eyes from the potential damage of sunlight.

Lutein is primarily a yellow pigment that is found in plants. Experts usually believe lutein to be ‘the eye vitamin’. Lutein is crucial for the proper functioning of our eyes. It acts exactly like a light filter.

Lutein is also known to absorb blue light, thereby acting like internal sunglasses. Consuming lutein also drastically reduces the risk of AMD, which may include loss of central vision.

Key Industry Highlights

Rising Demand for Plant-Based and Natural Ingredients Driving Lutein Market Growth

Modern consumers increasingly prefer natural and plant-based ingredients, aligning with broader trends toward sustainability and product transparency. Lutein, primarily derived from marigold flowers, meets these demands as a natural, non-GMO, and environmentally friendly ingredient. Its dual role as a natural colorant and functional nutrient has strengthened its position across various consumer products.

In Europe, stringent regulations favoring natural over synthetic additives have driven high demand for plant-based lutein. Key players like BASF and Synthite Industries are responding by adopting environmentally friendly extraction methods, enhancing product appeal and fostering brand loyalty among eco-conscious consumers.

Expanding Use of Lutein in Functional Foods and Beverages

The global shift toward functional food and beverages presents significant opportunities for lutein. Consumers now seek everyday products with added health benefits, leading to the incorporation of lutein in items such as dairy products, fortified beverages, and snacks.

Manufacturers are innovating with products tailored to specific health concerns. Lutein-enriched milk and yogurt cater to families seeking convenient nutrition, while fortified drinks attract on-the-go consumers. This diversification not only expands lutein’s market presence but also bridges the gap between general nutrition and dietary supplements.

Increasing Demand for Lutein Products to Address Age-Related Eye Disorders

As the global population ages, the prevalence of age-related eye disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts is on the rise. Lutein’s protective properties for eye health have made it a vital ingredient in products targeting the elderly.

The demand for lutein-based products is particularly strong in the United States, where the consumption of processed foods is expected to grow significantly. Favorable regulations permitting lutein’s use in food and supplements have further accelerated market growth in the region.

Lutein’s Role in Combating Vision Loss and Chronic Health Issues

Aging populations face higher risks of chronic health conditions, especially those affecting vision. AMD remains the leading cause of blindness in individuals over 50, while cataracts contribute significantly to global visual impairment. These alarming trends emphasize the importance of preventative measures, such as lutein-rich diets and supplements, to support long-term eye health.

“Lutein’s dual role as a natural colorant and functional nutrient, coupled with growing consumer preference for plant-based ingredients, positions it as a key driver in the wellness and functional food sectors, particularly as aging populations prioritize eye health and sustainability.” – Nandini Roy Choudhury, Client Partner at Future Market Insights 

What are the Current Market Drivers pertaining to Lutein Market?

Lutein is primarily used in the field of ophthalmology. It is mainly used for treating a variety of eye diseases.

The primary benefit of lutein is to provide anti-inflammatory properties, and to protect our eyes against free radicals. Lutein also helps in improving the visual contrast, and in the treatment of cataract and diabetes retinopathy. Owing to all these benefits that lutein offers for the healthy functioning of our eyes and its increased usage in ophthalmology, the sales of lutein is anticipated to increase.

It is also used by various nutrition brands for manufacturing diet supplements and medicines. Especially for preparing capsules related to the treatment of eye diseases. Because of this reason, the demand for lutein is expected to increase in the coming times.

Some researchers have highlighted the fact that reduced intake of lutein is linked to increase in diabetes as well. Thus, intake of lutein may reduce the risk of diabetes. Diabetes is a silent epidemic, which has claimed the lives of many people. If lutein is effective in controlling diabetes, the lutein market share may increase considerably in the future.

Increased consumption of lutein has also been linked to reduced risk of certain types of cancer. There are claims being made by researchers that increase in the intake of lutein may reduce the risk related to specifically breast cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer. This might be a reason why the demand for lutein may upsurge in the coming times.

There are a few scientists who have claimed that lutein might be very effective in fighting certain heart diseases. This might be a game changer in the sales of lutein, and more people might start consuming them in the future.

Additionally, lutein is used in certain diary products as well. These are increasingly used in the manufacture of cheese and yogurts, and even the diary sector is showing a promising growth. This may be a key reason for increasing the adoption of lutein.

Above all, there are some proactive measures being taken by the governments across the globe to spread awareness about the benefits of lutein. For example, the lutein supplements are being showcased as listed medicines. This is a major push to increase the consumption of lutein.

What is the North America Outlook for the Lutein Market?

Due to the region’s highly fragmented distribution channels, the US market holds a 56% market share in terms of sales of lutein supplements.

Due to the region’s manufacturers shifting from producing products that are primarily focused on ingredients to those that have broader brand positioning, as well as the growing market penetration of notable players from the US and Canada, North America is thought to be gaining significant market share.

Additionally, during the forecast period, a growing concentration of VMHS services in the region is anticipated to contribute to regional growth.
