The Global Chelated Selenium Market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period and is expected to reach USD 5.4 Billion by 2028. The factors that are driving the growth of this market include increasing demand for organic products and rising awareness about health benefits associated with selenium. However, stringent regulatory norms and a lack of technical know-how may hamper the growth prospects of this market over the next few years.
The term "selenium" refers to a naturally occurring mineral that is essential for the production of selenoproteins. Selenoproteins are proteins containing one or more selenium-containing amino acid residues, with an associated enzyme activity including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In order to be fully absorbed by the human body, it requires chelation which can be achieved either through organic molecules (e.g., sulfate) or inorganic substances such as sodium selenite, lithium selenide phenylsulfonephthalein disulphonic acid [PDS].
Chelated Selenium is used in the feed industry to promote growth, manage disorders and reduce diseases. It can also be utilized as a nutritional supplement for those who cannot consume the right levels of selenium through diet alone. In addition, it enhances immune function and protects against oxidative stress that often occurs due to poor diets or other lifestyle factors like smoking.
The functional food market has begun to take note of this unique antioxidant which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels while providing protection from free radicals and oxidation damage associated with diabetes, cancer cells, and cardiovascular disease (e.g., atherosclerosis). There are some sources indicating that certain antioxidants may have benefits on neurological functions related to cognition but more research is needed into how Chelated Selenium impacts.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Organic and Inorganic. Organic is projected to expand at a higher CAGR than Inorganic during the forecast period. This trend can be attributed to increased demand from countries that are increasing their awareness towards organic food products or those that have banned synthetic fertilizers.
Organic Selenium compounds are made up of selenium and a functional group. They have an organic moiety that is carbon-based, usually alkoxy or thioether groups. Organic Chelated Selenium includes such as Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC), Diselenide, Methylseleniourea, Triselenic acid, and Dimethylethylene selenoxide.
Organic selenium compounds are found in food, feed, and functional foods. Organic Chelated Selenium can be used as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It may also help maintain normal heart function, promote healthy skin and hair growth, enhance immune system functions or increase sperm motility. It is not only effective for humans but also for animals such as poultry and pigs that consume it when they eat grains containing organic chelates of selenium-rich proteins (such as wheat). In 2016, there were no commercial sources available which use this type of organic chelated selenium compound in livestock feeds; however, some companies are expected to release products soon because its use is anticipated to reduce environmental pollution by decreasing the use of inorganic selenium.
Inorganic Chelated Selenium is an organic compound of metal and sulfur. The most common example is selenite, which consists of one molecule of inorganic selenium bound to two molecules of acid hydrogen sulfide (H-S). It can be synthesized by the reaction between sodium hydride (NaH) and elemental selenium. Inorganic Chelated Selenium is used as a pest control agent in animal feed, metalworking fluid, flame retardant, and mainly for health supplements.
Inorganic chelated selenium may be at higher risk than organic since it consists of one molecule of inorganic selenium bound to two molecules of sulfuric acid (H-S). However, the most common example is that it can be synthesized by a reaction between sodium hydride (NaH) and elemental selenium. It's also found in animal feeds as well as other applications.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into the Feed industry, Functional Food, and others. The Feed Industry segment is estimated to have significant growth in the Global Chelated Selenium market during the forecast period. The need for feed additives has increased not only due to higher awareness about organic food but also due to heavy regulations and certification requirements are being imposed by organizations such as the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA).
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The North American region currently has the largest share in Global Chelated Selenium Market due to its widespread availability of raw materials for selenium production as well as stringent regulations on feed additives such as chelated selenium.
The European market has a significant share in the overall market due to stringent regulations on feed additives. The Asia Pacific region has been witnessing a high growth rate during the forecast period, which is anticipated to be driven by an increase in awareness towards organic food and rising demand for processed foods, among other factors.
Latin America will exhibit steady growth with increasing consumption of manufactured foods that are rich in certain micronutrients like selenium. The Middle East & Africa region will grow at an unimaginable pace because of its vast availability of raw materials required for the production of Chelated Selenium products thus making it one of the most promising regions for this type of product over the next few years.
