Surging Processed Food Consumption Fueling Antioxidant Demand

The increasing consumption of processed foods is driving the demand for antioxidants. As processed food items are high in carbohydrates, saturated fats, free sugars, sodium, and total fats and low in various essential nutrients such as vitamins, potassium, proteins, and fiber, their increasing consumption is responsible for several health problems such as low and high blood pressure. The rising prevalence of such health problems is fueling the demand for natural antioxidants, as these compounds protect the cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, which are present in processed foods.

Vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, carotenoids, and polyphenols are the most commonly consumed natural oxidants. On the other hand, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), tert-butylhydroquinone (THBQ), Propyl Gallate (PG), and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are the most widely consumed types of synthetic antioxidants. Between the two types of antioxidants, the demand for natural antioxidants is predicted to be higher in the forthcoming years. This will be because of the several anti-ageing benefits of these products and the rising public awareness about healthy eating habits. 

Additionally, the increasing urbanization rate, soaring disposable income of people, and escalating working hours are also pushing up the demand for processed and fast foods, thereby powering the growth of the global antioxidants market. Antioxidants are basically substances that can mitigate the damage caused to other items because of oxidation. Food and beverage, cosmetics, feed additives, and pharmaceutical industries are the major application areas of antioxidants. Out of these, the use of antioxidants is predicted to be the highest in the food and beverages industry in the upcoming years.

Across the globe, the sales of antioxidants will surge sharply in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the upcoming years, as per the estimates of the market research company, P&S Intelligence.
