On the basis of source, cereal is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022, in terms of value, as the prices of these raw materials, that is, majorly oats and barley, have come down significantly, and have resulted in the higher procurement of raw materials from beta-glucan manufacturers. This decline in the availability of raw materials will play an important role in driving the growth of the global beta-glucan market.

On the basis of category, beta-glucan is available in soluble and insoluble forms. Soluble beta-glucan is projected to lead the market in terms of value, during the forecast period, while insoluble beta-glucan is dominant, in terms of volume.

Based on application, the pharmaceuticals segment is expected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. This application is driven by the increasing demand for beta-glucan at a global level due to the rising awareness among consumers thereby directing the manufacturers to tap this opportunity and provide customers with healthy nutrients. Beta-glucan can be used as a nutraceutical ingredient, fortified in various food items. This is driving the use of beta-glucan in the food & beverage industry. Personal care applications of beta-glucan include mineral- & vitamin-enriched herbal creams & shampoos for better skin care and hair care. Tate & Lyle, through its Avencare brand, offers beta-glucan skin care products such as facial cream, moisturizer, and lip balm.
