According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Lycopene Market by Type, Material, Price Point and Sales Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,” the global lycopene market size was valued at $107.2 million in 2020, and is projected reach $187.3 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030.

Antioxidants on skin can help reduce damage to the skin caused by free radicals and exposure to the sun and pollution. It can help reduce the signs of ageing skin and can help the skin look younger and fresher. Antioxidants also reduce inflammation of skin, by blunting the skins inflammatory responses. In addition to preventing damage, antioxidants also help the skin repair itself and boost the collagen production in the skin, resulting in youthful looking skin. As lycopene is rich in antioxidants, it is used frequently in the production of cosmetics and personal care products such as creams and lotions, to protect the skin form the harmful effects of the sun and to aid in skin repair. Furthermore, few studies have also revealed lycopene may protect the body against damage caused by herbicides, pesticides, and certain types of fungi. Thus, multiple benefits of lycopene will result in increased adoption in cosmetics industry translating into market growth.

Lycopene degrades rapidly under heat and humid conditions. Owing to large number of unsaturated bonds, lycopene has low environmental stability. Furthermore, temperature has significant effect on the storage stability of lycopene. In addition, extracted lycopene rapidly degraded when exposed to oxygen light, and high temperature. According to FAO “Lycopene is susceptible to chemical changes such as oxidation followed by degradation or isomerization when exposed to light, heat and oxygen. Lycopene present in tomato extract was shown to be stable under storage at 4o C and room temperature when tested over a time period ranging from 18 to 37 months.” Thus, low stability of lycopene challenges market expansion.

The global lycopene market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Europe led in terms of market share for 2020; however, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to expansion of food processing industry, increased demand for convenience food and beverages and large scale urbanization. China along with India and South East Asian countries is expected to witness increased demand for lycopene in the coming years.
