The Global Lecithin and Phospholipids Market is valued at USD 6.23 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%, reaching USD 9.56 billion by 2030. The market encompasses a wide range of applications, including pharmaceuticals, food, nutrition, supplements, and cosmetics, where lecithin and phospholipids are utilized for their emulsifying and therapeutic properties.

Market Overview

Lecithin is a fatty substance present in various natural sources such as soy, eggs, and sunflower. It serves multiple functions, including acting as an emulsifier, lubricant, and additive in the food industry, preventing ingredient separation. It is also used for therapeutic purposes in treating liver disease, eczema, and high cholesterol.

Phospholipids, also known as phosphatides, are essential components of cell membranes, comprising a phosphate group, fatty acids, and alcohols. They are found in foods like egg yolks, liver, and soybeans, which are significant commercial sources.
