The Natural Carotenoids Market is expected to reach USD 1.9 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2021 to 2028. Natural carotenoids are tetraterpene pigments that are found in photosynthetic bacteria, fungi, algae, and plants. About 850 naturally occurring carotenoids were reported as of 2020. Photosynthetic bacteria, fungi, algae, and plants can synthesize carotenoids. The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the rising demand for natural food colors, increasing awareness regarding clean-label products, rising incidence of eye diseases and cancer, and growing demand for natural skincare products. However, stringent regulatory and approval norms and high costs of natural colorants are expected to hinder market growth to some extent.
