Global Carotene Market to reach USD 486.2 million by 2027.Global Carotene Market is valued approximately USD 382.6 million in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.50% over the forecast period 2021-2027. Carotene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound with the formula C40Hx that is produced by plants but not by animals in general. The location of a double bond in the cyclic group at one end differs between the two main isomers of carotene, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. The most prevalent type is beta-carotene, which may be found in yellow, orange, and green leafy fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is the most common source of pro-vitamin A and is commonly employed as a food colorant in juice, cakes, sweets, butter, and margarine. The market has been growing due to rising demand for beta carotene in the food industry, as well as its widespread use in other end-user industries such as pharmaceuticals for colouring, pro-vitamin A source in dietary supplements, health ingredient in animal feed, and antioxidant in cosmetic products. Carotenoids are utilized in creams and lotions as active components having biological action. Carotenoids are utilized in cosmetic products for their antioxidant qualities and nutritional benefit to the skin and hair, much as they are in food and feed. The natural cosmetics industry is also expanding. They are expected to expand their income to $54 billion by 2027, with an estimated annual growth rate of 6-8%. Additionally, carotene is dominantly used in the animal feed industry. Carotene contributes to the desired color of the egg yolk, just as they do in the chicken diet. Carotene have also been added to the diet of aquatic animals in aquaculture to enhance the desired pink/red color of crustaceans, salmonids, and other farmed fish. Aquaculture is the world's fastest-growing animal food production business; for example, Scottish aquaculture, which is dominated by Atlantic salmon farming and aims to double its economic contribution to ??3.6 billion by 2030. However, potential side effects impede the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2021-2027. Although, increasing demand of algae-based carotene in functional and heath food presents a lucrative opportunity for the market.

Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World are all examined in the geographical analysis of the worldwide Carotene market. Due to exclusive product releases and ongoing research and development operations, as well as rising demand for natural skincare cosmetics, Europe is the world's top area in terms of market share. Whereas, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, due to an increase in the region's food and beverage, cosmetics, and other end-user industries, as well as the presence of small-scale regional companies and investment in R&D operations for new product development, creating lucrative growth prospects for the Carotene market throughout Asia-Pacific.
