Moreover, the increasing government regulations on food and beverages industry are projected to boost demand for policosanol, as they focus on consumer safety. This is significantly stimulating the adoption of policosanol by manufacturers, because of its ability to help them in producing   food products with lower fat and cholesterol levels.

However, the higher costs of policosanol in the marketplace compared to other dietary supplements and its lower availability are likely to hinder the demand for policosanol in the global market.

Growth Drivers

Rising demand for policosanol in the pharmaceutical industry

The presence of unique properties in the policosanol is expected to impact its adoption in pharmaceutical sector, particularly in drug formulations. For instance, as per the study published in the Nutrition and Food Research (NFR), policosanol has ability to lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) & helps in promoting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.

The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases

The demand for policosanol in dietary supplements will grow substantially, as there are a greater number of people suffering with the incidence of the cardiac arrests, promoting awareness about the concerned diseases, & thereby necessitating the adoption of preventive health measures. According to the 2023 study published in the PubMed Central, the people suffering with at least 1 chronic health problems will grow at a rate of 99.5%, reaching 142.66, by 2050.The effectiveness of policosanol as an anti-hyperlipidemic, antioxidant, & anti-inflammatory agent, with presence of proteins such as CETP & PCSK9, are positively driving its usage.

Restraining Factors

Side-effects of policosanol are likely to limit market growth

Side effects of consuming the policosanol include nausea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, and muscle pain are expected to lower the consumption rate of policosanol over the coming years. Moreover, lack of research studies showing its potential functioning in the human body is also hampering its adoption.
