Global Catechin Market by Application (Supplements, Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Mouth Rinsing Agents) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global catechin market was worth USD 16.1 Million in 2019. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 3.4%) between 2020 and 2027. The rising demand for organic and natural products, coupled with a growing consumer desire to live a healthier lifestyle, is expected to increase catechin consumption in dietary supplements formulations. Catechins, also known as flavanols, are a group of flavonols found in high quantities in green tea. The four main types of catechin include Epicatechin (EC), Epigallocatechin (EGC), Epicatechin-3-Gallate (ECG), and Epigallocatechin-3- Gallate (EGCG). The composition of these catechins in green tea is varied. EGCG accounts for 60%, followed by EGC, ECG and EC for 20%, 14.0% and 6.0%, respectively.

You can extract catechin from green tea using solvent extraction, ultrasound aided extraction (UAE), solvent extraction (SFE), or high hydrostatic pressure (HHPE). Many factors affect the efficiency of an extraction method, including the type of tea, extraction parameters, set-up and storage conditions.

Some extraction technologies, however, are more capital-intensive and take longer to extract. Researchers and developers are working together to reduce extraction cost and time, increase extraction rate, and maximize yield and processing throughput. Key players are also focusing their efforts on technologies that minimize the use of chemicals during the extraction process. Botaniex has, for example, developed a non-ethyl-acetate process to extract catechin. This new product is chemical-free, making it safer and healthier for consumers. Innovative technologies will enable manufacturers of dietary supplements to penetrate the market for catechins by extracting residue-free ingredients.
