07 Dec, 2021

According to the latest report by Renub Research, titled “Lipid Market Size, Share, Global Forecast 2021-2027, Industry Trends, Growth, Impact of COVID-19, Opportunity Company Analysis” the Global Lipid Market is projected to reach US$ 21.53 Billion by 2027. Globally, lipids are molecules known as building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Some examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, specific vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most significant of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein. Besides, lipids are not soluble in water as they are non-polar but are thus soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform. Lipids are mainly composed of hydrocarbons in their most reduced form, making them an excellent energy storage record. When metabolized, the hydrocarbons oxidize to release large amounts of energy.

Global Lipid Industry will grow at a CAGR of 7.62% during 2020-2027

Lipids are organic molecules, broadly termed derivatives of fatty acids and similar compounds produced from plants and animals. Increasing demand for lipids as nutritional supplements, the rising health awareness among consumers, and changing food patterns due to busy lifestyles are expected to drive industry growth during 2020-2027. Additionally, lipids play an essential role in preventing chronic diseases, such as arthritis, asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes, which, in turn, is expected to boost the market further.

As per the American Medical Association, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, accounting for 690,882 deaths. Hence, the U.S. FDA has approved omega-3 supplements to treat adults for diseases such as severe hypertriglyceridemia. Remarkably, an increasing number of omega 3-based pharmaceutical product launches by market players, due to the rising product application scope in medicines, is expected to witness market growth.

By Application, Food Segment Continues to Lead the Market

The global lipid industry is segmented into Food & Beverages, Nutrition & Supplement, Feed and others. In addition, the expanding figures of functional benefits joined with health benefits counted as a prominent driver for the acceptance of lipids as additives in the food industry. Lipids have a significant role to play in most edibles. Moreover, lipids improve aspects of food, including flavour, emulsification, texture, density, and hydrogenation. They act as good flavour carriers delivering taste and also enhancing the smell of products.

Besides, the role of lipids in emulsification is to help the diffusion of fat evenly into water. The use of shortenings is formed with mono-glycerides, so fats and milk are emulsified in cake batters to create a fine texture for cakes and other products. Furthermore, there has been an increasing emergence of lipids in the last decade that has shown tremendous potential for nutritional applications. Thus, nutritional applications are expected to boost the global market for lipids in the years to come.

Asia-Pacific is the Fastest Growing Region

In our report, we have analyzed the regional markets of North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa.
