Phytosterols are bioactive substances naturally occurring in plants with a chemical structure resembling that of cholesterol. Phytosterols compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the intestines, leading to reduced blood cholesterol levels and contributing to the management of heart health, lowering the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.
The main types of phytosterols include beta-sitosterols, campesterols, stigmasterols, and others. Beta-sitosterol is a type of plant sterol found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It is sourced from various foods such as vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, and whole grains. Phytosterols are available in different forms, including dry and liquid, and find applications in various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and animal feed.

The phytosterols market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.67 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increased focus on plant-based diets, ongoing research into additional health benefits of phytosterols, the expansion of functional beverages incorporating phytosterols, regulatory support for health claims, and the global aging population seeking health-oriented products. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass innovations in delivery formats for phytosterols, collaborations in research and development within the industry, the incorporation of phytosterols in personalized nutrition products, a growing emphasis on clean label and transparency in product formulations, and the utilization of phytosterols in pet food.
The phytosterols market is expected to witness significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease encompasses various heart and blood vessel disorders, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, aortic disease, and other related conditions. Phytosterols, derived from plants, compete with cholesterol absorption, leading to a reduction in LDL cholesterol levels. The daily intake of phytosterols has been associated with an 8% to 10% decrease in LDL cholesterol. Notably, reports from the American Heart Association revealed that cardiovascular disease was the primary cause of 928,741 deaths in the United States in 2020. Similarly, data from the British Heart Foundation indicated an increase in deaths related to heart and circulatory diseases from 163,888 in 2019 to 168,319 in 2020 in the UK. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease is a significant driver for the growth of the phytosterols market.
The phytosterols market is poised for growth driven by the increasing popularity of health awareness. Individuals are becoming more conscious of health-related topics, fostering a growing interest in dietary supplements and functional food ingredients such as phytosterols, known for their cholesterol-lowering properties. A survey by Koninklijke DSM N.V. revealed that 60% of consumers globally heightened their awareness of maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the pandemic. Respondents expressed a continued interest in making significant dietary changes, emphasizing the importance of consuming healthful foods. The rising popularity of health awareness is a key factor propelling the phytosterols market.
A noteworthy trend in the phytosterols market is product innovation, with major companies focusing on the development of new solutions. For instance, ProBiotix Health PLC introduced CholBiome CH, a dual-action cholesterol-reducing bi-layer tablet. The tablet combines Lactobacillus plantarum LPLDL and plant sterols/stanols (PSS) to provide a dual-action formula for reducing both internal and dietary cholesterol levels. The innovative product aims to break down bile salts and encourage the liver to eliminate cholesterol from the blood. This demonstrates the commitment of companies to introducing novel products to sustain their position in the competitive phytosterols market.
Leading companies in the phytosterols market are investing in the development of new solutions, such as cardiosmile, to support cardiovascular health and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Cardiosmile, launched by Nutrartis, is a vegan heart and cholesterol health solution with a neutral taste that can be mixed with various foods and beverages. It utilizes water-dispersible phytosterols for convenient daily heart health and cholesterol management. This focus on creating innovative products underscores the commitment of major players to cater to the growing demand for health-centric solutions in the phytosterols market.
