Curcumin Market: Dynamics

Recently, the volumetric demand for curcumin has surged, owing to the shift of end users from synthetic products to natural products due to rising awareness. Increasing focus of researchers towards natural products and the commercialization of curcumin to exploit its properties are the key factors driving the curcumin market. Majority of the demand for curcumin stems from dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industries and hence, the growth of these industries will drive the curcumin market as well. Being a developing market, a vast opportunity exists for new products and production technologies. With optimistic support from governments for natural products and restrictions on synthetic products, the curcumin market is expected to experience significant growth throughout the forecast period.

However, manufacturers also face a risk due to the supply of adulterated curcumin from local vendors. Also, a confusion exists among customers regarding the bioavailability of curcumin. It has been found that alternative synthetic products are entering the market, which could harm curcumin’s 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 own R&D centers and most of the products are found to be patented.
