Policosanol is a natural supplement derived from the wax of sugarcane, beeswax, and wheat germ. It is composed of a mixture of long-chain alcohols, with octacosanol being the primary component. Policosanol gained popularity as a dietary supplement due to its potential health benefits, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health. In addition, policosanol has potential to reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol, while increasing HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often called "good" cholesterol.
There is an increase in emphasis on maintaining cardiovascular health with the aging population and a growing focus on preventive healthcare. Policosanol, with its potential cholesterol-lowering and antiplatelet effects, is positioned as a preventive measure against heart disease and related conditions. This factor is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.
However, policosanol supplements are expensive compared to some other cholesterol-lowering medications. Furthermore, policosanol is considered safe for short-term use, there is limited information about its long-term safety. Moreover, it has side effects such as stomach upset, headaches, or skin reactions. In addition, policosanol interacts with certain medications, including blood thinners, affecting their efficacy, or increasing the risk of bleeding.
Furthemore, the policosanol market has the potential for expansion into new geographic markets. There are opportunities to introduce supplements in regions where it is not yet widely available as awareness of policosanol and its potential benefits grows. These factors are anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for the policosanol market during the forecast period.
The policosanol market is segmented on the basis of source, application, and region. On the basis of source, the market is categorized into sugarcane, wheat germ, beeswax, and others. On the basis of application, it is divided into dietary supplements, pharmaceutical drugs, personal care and cosmetics, and animal feed. On the basis of region, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The Asia-Pacific policosanol market size is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period and account for 49% of policosanol market share in 2022. The Asia-Pacific policosanol market is anticipated to expand during the forecast period. India, China, and Japan are anticipated to contribute to the Asia-Pacific policosanol market. The region highlights high potential growth for policosanol, owing to the increase in the pharmaceutical sector where policosanol is used predominantly. It is used as antioxidant and anticoagulant agent in the formulation of drugs. This factor acts as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of policosanol in the region.
The pharmaceutical market in India and Japan has been experiencing significant growth for several reasons such as, large domestic market, increasing healthcare expenditure, government initiatives, R&D innovation, and other factors that have spurred the policosanol market. Policosanol has been widely used to treat patients with (CVD) cardiovascular disease. This factor is projected to drive the policosanol market In the Asia-Pacific region. There has been a growth in awareness of health and wellness across the Asia-Pacific region.
On the basis of source, the sugarcane segment dominated the global market in 2022, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during forecast period. The demand for sugarcane is driven by factors such as population growth, change in consumer preferences, industrial uses, economic development, bio-based products, and the ongoing need for sugar as a food ingredient has enhanced the overall potential sales of policosanol market during the forecast period. Furthermore, policosanol, derived from sugarcane, has been studied for its potential health benefits.
Sugarcane-derived policosanol is used to support overall cardiovascular health due to its cholesterol-modulating effects. It helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. This factor is expected to drive the demand for sugarcane derived policosanol in the medicinal sector. According to data published by Investopedia in June 2022, globally about 80% of the sugar is produced from cane grown in tropical and subtropical climates. This statistical data is expected to drive the overall market expansion during the forecast period.
In 2022, the pharmaceutical drug segment was the largest revenue generator, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that there is a growth in pharmaceutical sector at a rapid pace owing to the rise in population, increase in R&D activities, advancement in technology, and increased focus on this sector has spurred the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, according to a report published by India Brand Equity Foundation in the year May 2022, domestic pharmaceutical market of India is at $42 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $65 billion by 2024 and further expand to reach $120-130 billion by 2030. Policosanol acts as a lipid lowering agent and it is perceived as benefits for cardiovascular health.
Moreover, the availability of scientific studies conducted primarily in Cuba, where policosanol has been extensively researched and used as a pharmaceutical drug, and also influenced its adoption in the industry. The positive outcomes have shown efficacy and safety which has driven interest in exploring the potential of policosanol as a pharmaceutical intervention.
