Lignans Industry

The global lignans market size is projected to reach USD 593.4 million by 2027 registering a CAGR of 6.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for lignans is projected to be driven by the rising awareness about the benefits of consuming a healthy diet and growing incidences of lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure & cholesterol levels, and obesity. Commercially, lignans are extracted from sesame, flax, & pumpkin seeds, corn, wheat, pea, strawberry, and broccoli.

Growing product applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries on account of its anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties are projected to drive the market over the next few years. Lignans derived from cereals, such as corn, oats, barley, and rye, are majorly incorporated in manufacturing various food products, including macaroni, couscous, cheerios, wholegrain biscuits, and granola bars. Increasing consumption of cereal-based foods, such as oatmeal, muesli, raisin bran, and compressed puffed rice, is likely to spur the overall market growth.

Lignans are predominantly used to incorporate antioxidant and estrogen attributes to food products, such as cereals, energy bars, whole-grain bread, crackers, semolina pasta, meatless meals, and other snack foods. Lignans in the aforementioned foods are precursors of mammalian lignans and are linked with decreased risk of cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). This factor is anticipated to positively influence product demand in the global market. Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market share by 2027 due to technological developments, changing demographics and lifestyles, and favorable research studies in the region. However, North America is estimated to register the fastest CAGR from 2020 to 2027.
