Zeaxanthin Market

Zeaxanthin Market Outlook

Zeaxanthin is a pigment that is originally found in various plants such as leafy vegetables, flowers, paprika and many other fruits and vegetables that we consume on a daily basis. The zeaxanthin contains carotenoids that are necessary for the human body to function properly.

Carotenoids are known for their antioxidant property and zeaxanthin is used to treat eye problems in combination with lutein. But the production of zeaxanthin is also a major factor as the composition differs from the original one.

The synthetic zeaxanthin that is being produced contains only meso-zeaxanthin which is not very useful for curing the health problems. The natural zeaxanthin is also being more preferred as the demand for natural products among the consumers is more and the trend of using clean label products is growing. The main source for producing zeaxanthin is marigold as it is an easily available raw material and an economical one.

The Demand of Zeaxanthin is Increasing as its Major Use is in the Dietary Supplements to Treat Eye Problems

The consumer awareness has increased in the recent times as they want to gain information about the products that they consume and are very well aware of the essential nutrients required by the body other than the daily diet intake.

This has led to the consumers taking additional supplements as a precautionary measure. This is also due to increasing healthcare costs globally. The use of additional supplements in the daily diet is more prevalent in developed countries. The use of the zeaxanthin is mostly in the supplements in combination with lutein to cure eye-related problems. Thus, zeaxanthin related products have become very popular especially the dietary supplements that contain zeaxanthin.

Also, the demand for zeaxanthin supplements is used by the aging population and the increasing aging population has also led to its increasing demand. The zeaxanthin is also being used in the fortified food products for providing extra nutrition or in the beverages for functional purposes.
