From 2021 to 2028, the Global Lignans Market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 7.1%, from US$ 375 Million in 2020 to US$ 642 Million in 2028.

Lignan belongs to a class of plant-derived compounds that have estrogenic and anticancer properties. Lignans have been utilized to treat a variety of medical issues in some cultures.Plant physiological, epidemiological and food science investigations have revealed lignans as good diets for reducing the risk of lifestyle-related non-communicable illnesses, and as a result, lignan demand has been fast expanding. However, the low efficiency and instability of lignan extraction from plant resources must be addressed, emphasizing the need for the development of new lignan production processes.

Market Dynamics

The lignans market is driven by the rapidly rising usage of lignans in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries, as well as their growing application in functional foods and nutraceuticals due to their multiple health benefits.However, various governments' regulations and taxes on lignans production in various regions are expected to act as a restraint on the lignan market's expansion.Growing demand for lignans owing to their health benefits also supports the growth of the market. Lignans, like other natural substances, help to prevent disease and promote good health. Several studies have shown that lignan-rich diets can help prevent the development of several diseases, including hormone-dependent cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

When lignin-rich foods are eaten, the healthy bacteria in the stomach convert them to enterolcatone, a lignan metabolite. This circulates in the bloodstream, attaches to oestrogen receptors, and acts as oestrogen, compensating for the lack of oestrogen. They attach to receptors while decreasing the activity of natural oestrogen in conditions where there are excessive quantities of oestrogen in the body.As a result, it is advantageous to everyone.

Consumption of lignans lowers the risk of cancer, reduces hot flashes in postmenopausal women, and protects heart health. They are also used to reduce the level of bad cholesterol, reduce free radical damage to cells, and helps clean the gut and improve bowel movement.
