Phytosterols Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
The phytosterols market is expected to witness a significant growth during the forecast period especially in
the developing countries such as India and China. Consumer awareness for health and wellness along with
the adoption of a healthier lifestyle is fuelling the demand for phytosterols market in these regions.
Phytosterols are inclusive of plant sterols and plant stanols. Saturated sterols, which lack double bond in
the sterol ring are called stanols. Phytosterols resemble cholesterols, but the variation is visible in the
carbon side chain and the prevalence or absence of a carbon double bond. The main difference between
phytosterols and cholesterol lies in the absorption levels in the blood stream. Cholesterols are absorbed in
the blood, thereby increasing the cholesterol level in the human body which in turn increases the
incidences of coronary heart diseases. Phytosterols, on the other hand are not absorbed by the body and
are present at low levels. Due to their chemical resemblance, phytosterols block cholesterol from being
absorbed by the blood, thereby reducing the triglyceride level in the human body.
Rising incidences of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases especially in the developed regions such as
Europe and North America is propelling the demand for the phytosterols. Phytosterols are almost similar to
cholesterols, but they act as blockages for cholesterol and prevent the absorption of the same in the blood
stream. This reduces the triglyceride level in the human body, which in turn reduces the incidences of
coronary heart diseases.
Availability of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) is impeding the growth of the global phytosterols market as
the market share of omega 3 fatty acids is more compared to phytosterols, due to which the
manufacturers are shifting towards omega 3 fatty acid ingredients. Lack of support from the governing
bodies in the developing regions such as Asia Pacific and Middle East regarding the health benefits offered
by phytosterols is impeding the growth of the phytosterols market. This has led to the low awareness about
the benefits of phytosterols among the consumers in the developing regions.

B-sitosterol held the largest market share in the global phytosterols market on account of the widespread
availability of its source. Campesterol accounted for the second largest market share in the global
phytosterols market and it is expected to witness a significant growth owing to its anti-inflammatory
properties. The others segment is inclusive ergosterol and brassicasterol and this segment accounted for
the lowest market share in 2014.
Europe dominated the global phytosterols market with a market share of over 40% and is expected to
retain its position in the future. North America is the second largest market for phytosterols. However, Rest
of the World is the fastest growing market for phytosterols. The rapid growth is mainly attributed to the
increasing awareness of the consumers about the benefits of phytosterols. The increasing consumption of

phytosterol fortified products in medical application owing to the growing number of coronary heart
diseases is also fuelling the demand for the phytosterols market in Rest of the World.
