The global phytosterols market size is expected to reach USD 2,530.18 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Phytosterols Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product (Beta-Sitosterol, Campesterol, Stigmasterol, and Others), Form, Source, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Phytosterols are bioactive compounds found in all plant-based foods, with the highest concentrations in unrefined plant oils, nuts, and olive oils. Other good dietary sources of phytosterols include nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes.

Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly exploring the potential of phytosterols for new drug formulations, emphasizing their effectiveness in managing cholesterol and reducing inflammation, which paves the way for new treatments. With promising clinical results, phytosterols are becoming key ingredients in pharmaceutical interventions for cardiovascular diseases and immune-related disorders. This growing trend in the phytosterols market reflects a growing recognition of plant-derived compounds in modern medicine, offering hope for improved treatment options and patient outcomes.

There is a growing demand for high-quality personal and healthcare products, especially in regions like the Asia Pacific. Phytosterols are a key ingredient in the cosmetics and personal care industry, commonly found in anti-aging creams and suncare lotions. Due to their anti-inflammatory properties, phytosterols are also used to protect baby skin and treat atopic eczema. The phytosterols market demand is rising with this trend, as companies like KENSING, based in Illinois, offer a wide range of personal care products and pharmaceutical applications containing phytosterols derived from soybeans, a natural source. For example, Generol, a product used in sun protection, self-tanning, facial care, and infant care, utilizes soy-based phytosterols.

In recent years, there has been a shift towards using green solvents instead of conventional petrochemical versions, particularly in the extraction of natural compounds like phytosterols. This shift is a crucial step towards establishing a sustainable and environmentally responsible development trajectory, as the concept of green chemistry becomes more widely recognized. Dimethyl carbonate (DME) is notable for its exceptional chemical characteristics, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, and ease of transportation. As an eco-friendly solvent, DME solvent has been successfully used in the extraction of phytosterols, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional petrochemical solvents and reducing the environmental impact of phytosterol production.
