The Global Beta Glucan Based Products Market, by Source (Cereals, Yeast, Mushroom, and Others), by Grade (Pharma, Medical, Food, Cosmetics, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and Animal Feed), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa), was valued at US$ 486.4 million in 2018 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period (2018 - 2026).
Beta glucans have been the subject of intensifying research, owing to its beneficial role in lowering insulin resistance and blood cholesterol, reducing the risk of obesity, and boosting the immune system to fight cancer. Moreover, various health regulatory bodies have approved beta glucan–containing foods to lower blood cholesterol levels by 5% to 8%. These allow various key players in the market to operate in beta glucan based products market and gain significant market share. For instance, in April 2019, Lantmännen acquired the oat ingredients business based in Kimstad, Sweden from Tate & Lyle. Moreover, Lantmännen’s acquisition of a Tate & Lyle’s mill and production facility for processing of oats in Kimstad will strengthen Lantmännen’s position in the oats market. In November 2017, Naturex (now a subsidiary of Givaudan) acquired Swedish Oat Fiber, a specialized Sweden-based manufacturer with key international presence as a producer of oat beta glucans dietary fibers, oat oils, and oat proteins, addressing food industry, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and animal feed applications. In December 2014, Leica Biosystems, a global leader in anatomic pathology laboratory solutions and instruments and subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, acquired Devicor Medical Products, Inc. In October 2014, NutraQ announced that it entered into a distribution partnership with American International Chemical LLC (AIC) to exclusively distribute the NBG range of beta-glucans in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Furthermore, the introduction of regulations and gradually increasing research have resulted in increasing application areas of yeast Beta Glucan and increasing market size. Health claims for beta glucan containing foods have been allowed in the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Finland, and the U.K. since 2006. The health claims approved by the FDA and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are based on research showing that consuming 3 g of beta-glucans per day, from either oats or barley, can lower blood cholesterol levels by 6% to 8%. In May 2016, the FDA announced a new regulatory definition for dietary fiber and stated that to be considered a source of fiber, isolated or synthetic non-digestible carbohydrates must have a demonstrated physiological health benefit. Products that contain at least 0.75 grams of beta-glucan per serving may use the FDA health claim: ‘Soluble fiber from foods such as oats, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease’.
