The global l-ergothioneine market size is expected to reach USD 644.90 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “L-ergothioneine Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Biosynthesis, Chemical Synthesis, Biological Fermentation); By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Rising health consciousness among the population is driving the demand for l-ergothioneine in the market. L-ergothioneine is a water-soluble amino acid usually found in mushrooms such as shiitake and oyster mushrooms, king crabs, meat from animals that grazed ergothioneine-containing grass, and others. Amino acids work as a building block for acquiring vitamins, as they play a crucial role in enzyme synthetization. It is gaining traction as a cosmetic ingredient due to its capability of protecting skin from oxidative stress.
A 2022 study revealed that ergothioneine has anti-ageing and anti-cancer properties through sirtuin signaling, implying potential regulatory power in signaling ageing pathways. Furthermore, a 2023 study found a positive correlation between healthy ageing and longevity. With this continuous rising focus by researchers to investigate the potential benefits of l-ergothioneine in the human body, there will be a positive impact on the demand for this compound throughout the forecast period.
The growing awareness about the l-ergothioneine skin care benefits is compelling companies to incorporate it into their product formulations with a view to withstand competitors' cosmetic products by adding natural antioxidant ingredients. For instance, Estee Lauder added this compound to its skincare product, "Perfectionist Pro Multi-Defence UV Fluid SPF 45 with 8 Anti-oxidants".

This compound is gaining recognition as a pharmaceutical supplement. According to the 2023 study published by Cambridge University Press, it focused on the role of ergothioneine in healthy ageing and the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. It was found that the lower presence of ergothioneine in human blood is related to the diminishment in cognitive power, which is more prevalent in the population at the age of 60, and that higher levels of ergothioneine are associated with lower deaths due to cardiovascular diseases.
These findings suggest that the intake of ergothioneine-rich foods can empower cognitive power among people, motivating companies to step in and provide ergothioneine supplements on the market. As an example, in February 2022, Life Extension unveiled its Essential Youth L-Ergothioneine Supplement to promote youthful cells and offer defense against oxidative stress in the human body.
