What are the factors propelling the demand and use of curcumin?

“Antioxidant Properties Make it a Natural Food Preservative”

Curcumin is used as a natural food preservative due to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. As a food preservative, it helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms that cause spoilage or foodborne illness. Furthermore, it is also used in several food premixes in specific proportions to enhance color, texture, and health benefits. Some of these products are spice blends, marinades, and seasoning mixes.

“Rising Health Awareness to Fuel Demand for Natural Ingredients”

With the rise of the health and wellness industry, there has been a growing awareness of the potential health benefits. Studies have shown that it may help reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Furthermore, many people are turning to natural and herbal remedies as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs, and it is seen as a safe and effective option. The scientific community has been studying curcumin for its potential health benefits, and there have been several clinical trials and studies conducted to explore its effectiveness. This has helped to raise awareness and interest in it.

“Rising Herbal Medicine Usage in Chronic Disease Treatment”

The prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease has been increasing, and it is seen as a potential preventative and treatment option. It has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties.

It has been found to inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, as well as enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Moreover, it has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, which help manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

What are the challenges ahead for manufacturers?

One of the biggest challenges in production is ensuring the consistent quality and potency of the final product. This is particularly important as the quality varies depending on factors such as the source, extraction method, and processing techniques. It has low bioavailability and poor absorption in the body, which limits its effectiveness. Manufacturers may need to invest in specialized technology or processes to improve the absorption and bioavailability of their products.

However, manufacturers also face risks due to the supply of adulterated from local vendors. In addition, confusion exists among customers regarding their bioavailability. It has been found that alternative synthetic products are entering the market, which could harm market share. The presence of economical food colors in the market might also affect its growth in the food and beverage segment. Being a market largely driven by research, several market players have established their R&D centers and most of the products are found to be patented.
