DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Consumer’s interest in foods and beverages boosting the market growth

Consumer interest in foods and beverages that offer functional benefits to relieve stress and improve sleep quality is growing. Additionally, consumer spending on packaged beverages and snacks increased as they spent more time at home due to work-from-home scenarios. Such factors are creating various opportunities for brain-healthy food and beverage manufacturers, which are expected to lead the market in the coming years. The growing awareness of consumers about health and wellness is increasing the demand for products. More and more consumers rely on nutritional products such as healthy food and beverages to lead a healthy lifestyle and prevent diseases, including brain diseases such as depression, anxiety and others.

Growing demand of phosphatidylserine to increase the nutritional value of food boost the market growth

Growing demand for nutrients and fortifying food additives is expected to boost the global phosphatidylserine market growth during the forecast period. Food and beverage manufacturers are adding nutritional additives such as omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals and more to their product line. The main motive for including the aforementioned additives in the food and beverage industry is to increase the nutritional value of food. Phosphatidylserine is required for its cognitive health benefits. It has applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, phosphatidylserine is used to treat dementia, hyperactivity and other brain-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to increase the demand for phosphatidylserine during the forecast period. Phosphatidylserine is a derivative of phospholipids, an essential component of every cell membrane. Phosphatidylserine occurs naturally in brain and soybeans, but it has also been synthesized artificially. The demand for phosphatidylserine has been increased by increased demand from food manufacturers, dietary supplement manufacturers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. This increase can be attributed to factors such as a higher incidence of neurodegenerative diseases; a growing aging population that requires a nutritious diet rich in protein, omega fatty acids and antioxidants; increasing people's health awareness, which leads to the use of food additives for various purposes.

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population aged 60+ is projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050, increasing demand for cognitive supplements.

• According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness yearly, driving the demand for mental health supplements like phosphatidylserine.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Risk of contamination may hinder the market growth

The risk of contamination of these products with unwanted highly toxic microbes is expected to prevent the production of a certain batch. In addition, according to forecasts, the market growth will be further limited by the large investments required for research and development of new bacterial strains. The low use of nutrients and healthy foods in many emerging economies and the increased use of fake products are important factors preventing the growth of bacterial strains. Furthermore, lack of universally applicable directives regarding the production and applications of phosphatidylserine is expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period. Each country has different directives on production and applications of phosphatidylserine, which in turn reduces the investment in the industry and thus limits the phosphatidylserine market growth.

• According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 50% of cognitive health supplements face regulatory delays due to stringent approval processes.

• According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), 25% of studies on phosphatidylserine show inconclusive results regarding its long-term cognitive efficacy.
