Melatonin is a hormone that is made by your brain when it gets dark. It helps the circadian rhythms (your body's 24-hour clock) and your sleep. Melatonin can't be made if you are exposed to light at night. Melatonin regulates sleep. The brain releases more melatonin at night and less at day. Age reduces melatonin synthesis. Its antioxidant characteristics enable it to be used in dietary supplements, food and beverage products, and medications. High demand for dietary supplements in the U.S., rising health consciousness among consumers, changing lifestyles, expansion of the food and beverage industry, rising consumer spending on food products, and rising demand for a variety of food products are all predicted to support the growth of the melatonin market. As melatonin tablets are prescribed pharmaceuticals, tight regulatory controls and misperceptions about their negative effects are expected to limit market expansion. The market for artificial melatonin may also be hampered by shifting raw material prices.
The global Melatonin Market is estimated to account for US$ 436.8 Mn in terms of value and 3,039 Tons in terms of volume by the end of 2019.
