Market Overview:
Carotenoids are plant pigments that are responsible for the red, yellow, and orange color of the plants. These compounds play a major role in plant growth. Beyond fruits and vegetables, carotenoids are also present in several strains of algae and photosynthetic bacteria. Carotenoids also provide several health benefits to humans and animals owing to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of these compounds.
Thus, carotenoids evolved as a vital ingredient in the food and feed industries. Plant sources such as tomatoes, carrots, squash, melons, apricots, and asparagus among others are ripen and processed to extract carotenoid powders. The utilization of carotenoids as a natural colorant in food has been significantly rising with the growth of special foods and the foodservice industry.

Market Dynamics:
Increasing adoption of nutraceutical products to propel market growth
The alternative treatment methods apart from allelopathic products for diabetes, eye disorders, and other lifestyle diseases are witnessing robust popularity. The intake of food rich in beta-carotene is recommended by governments and scientific organizations such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
Preventive medicine is a buzzword that has encouraged manufacturers and processors to come up with nutraceuticals such as dietary supplements and functional foods that utilize natural ingredients. Geriatric nutrition is one of the vital sectors for carotenes owing to its high antioxidant potential as they provide defense against oxidative stress, primarily attributed to aging processes, pollution, and others. All these factors are collectively contributing to the global sales of this market.
Along with the rise in health and wellness concerns, the consciousness regarding aesthetics and appearance among consumers has increased remarkably. This has escalated the demand for effective skincare and cosmetics products globally.
Carotenoids have been identified as powerful antioxidants that can be used in skin care product formulations for improving skin tone, maintaining skin firmness, and protecting against UV light exposure. The rise in consumer spending on natural skin brightening and anti-aging creams are predictable to bring immense application opportunities for novel tetraterpenoids, which in turn is expected to boost their market growth.
For instance, according to Lucas Meyers Cosmetics, an Asian cosmetic ingredient company, naturally occurring colorless carotenoids that are found in tomatoes can be easily used in the production of natural cosmetics products.

In April 2019, ExcelVite, a reputed palm carotene producer, collaborated with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for the publication of a new Plant Carotenes Monograph.
