Additionally, the utilization of herbal and mineral extracts as food additives is also contributing to the growing demand for phytosterols. Phytosterols are a crucial ingredient in dark chocolate formulations, which are highly popular confectionery items among the masses. The thriving cosmetic and skincare industry also plays a significant role in driving market growth, as phytosterols are utilized in anti-aging creams and lotions for their skin-replenishing and anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, various product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) aimed at enhancing the therapeutic benefits of phytosterols are projected to propel the market in the coming years.

The demand for nutritious and healthful foods is experiencing rapid growth as consumers prioritize their well-being. To enhance nutritional content and promote customer health, healthy foods are fortified with essential elements such as vitamins, prebiotics, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. The increasing health-conscious population in both emerging and developed economies is driving the demand for sterols. Market growth is further fueled by factors like the surge in chronic illnesses and micronutrient deficiencies, the rise of the middle class in emerging nations, and government fortification initiatives. The desire for cholesterol-free foods to prevent chronic disorders like cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes is propelling the market's expansion. These factors collectively contribute to the growing demand for the phytosterols market.

The increasing demand for dietary supplements to promote cardiovascular health is a significant factor expected to drive the demand for phytosterols in the near future. Phytosterols are considered a crucial functional food supplement. The growth of the global phytosterols market is also propelled by the rising per capita expenditure on healthcare by millennials and the growing focus of consumers on deriving nutritional and health benefits from consuming beta-sitosterol.

The manufacturing industry is adopting plant-based/bio-based raw materials to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, phytosterols find applications in cosmetics and personal care products, such as anti-aging creams. The increasing demand for products containing plant-based supplements is another factor expected to drive the growth of the global phytosterols market in the forecast period.
