Global Soy Lecithin Market Insights, Forecast to 2025
Soy lecithin is a by-product of soybean processing, produced by further manufacturing of crude soy oil. Lecithin is the gummy material contained in crude vegetable oils and removed by a degumming processing.
Soybeans are by far the most important source of commercial lecithin, and lecithin is the most important by-product of the soy oil processing industry because of its many applications in foods and industrial products. Soy lecithin is an excellent source of phospholipids, or phosphatides, for aqua feeds.
Phospholipids are the molecules that make up cell membranes.
The three main phosphatides in commercial soy lecithin are phosphatidyl choline (also called "pure" or "chemical" lecithin to distinguish it from the natural mixture), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (popularly called "cephalin"), and phosphatidyl inositols (also called inositol phosphatides). Commercial soy lecithin also typically contains roughly 30%-35% unrefined soy oil. Because it’s readily available from plentiful soybean crops all over the world, it’s the cheapest and easiest type of lecithin to mass manufacture.
The soy lecithin industry concentration is high; there are a few major manufacturers in the world such as Cargill, Danisco, ADM, Lipoid, Jiusan Group and Ruchi Soya etc., whose production is estimated to take account for 57.16% in 2015. And they are mainly distributed in North America, EU, India and China. Soy lecithin industry has long history since 1840s.
The soy lecithin market has been growing at a stable rate since the last few years. The multi-function properties are fueling the growth of the market which increasing the level of consumer awareness and growing demand for functional foods, supplements and convenient end-use products. The market is not only growing in North America, but also in the developing economies, especially the China and India region. The market growth in ROW (Rest of World) is expected to rise, but continues to hold a minor share in the global soy lecithin market.
The global Soy Lecithin market is valued at 1500 million US$ in 2018 and will reach 1770 million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 2.1% during 2019-2025.
