Lecithin contains fatty substances that have multiple functions. It is important to many different industries because it can stabilize, emulsify, and extend shelf life. In addition, lecithin improves liver and cell functioning, fat transport and metabolism, healthy reproduction, child development, and offers a better treatment for gallstones. Sunflower lecithin is a clean emulsifier. Sunflower lecithin is obtained from the oil-bearing sunflower kernel. It is made by drying out a sunflower and separating it into three parts: oil, gum, and solids.
A cold press process is used to process the lecithin, which comes from the gum. It is the second most popular type of commercial lecithin. It is extracted through cold pressing or dehydration of sunflowers and is considered a more organic lecithin source than other lecithin forms. Sunflower lecithin contains some vitamins and minerals that your body needs, such as potassium, phosphorus, and fatty acids. In addition, sunflower lecithin is also used in cosmetics and skincare products to help reduce redness and irritation. A rise in health-conscious consumers as a result of an increase in the incidence of obesity, an increase in consumer disposable income, rising demand for natural food additives, and changing lifestyles are the factors contributing to market expansion over the forecast period in North America.
Factors responsible for market growth in North America included increasing demand for natural ingredients and increased health awareness among consumers. In addition, increasing the usage of sunflower lecithin in bakery and confectionery products, dairy products, and meat products in the region will also positively impact market expansion. Furthermore, due to its benefits as an ingredient and emulsifying agent, sunflower lecithin has many potential health benefits. It has the potential to lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and improve digestive health. It has the ability to break down fat and lower LDL cholesterol by 56% and total cholesterol by 42%. Sunflower lecithin is rich in choline and can boost brain function. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that increased choline intake was associated with increased cognitive functions. Thus, increasing health awareness among consumers and rising demand for natural foods have fuelled consumers’ demand for food supplements. These are the factors that contributed to the market growth in the North American region over the foreseen period.

This is expected to provide ample new growth opportunities in the market during the forecast period. The increase in demand for green and organic food products and label-friendly sunflower lecithin extends profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period. According to the Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society, due to its high phosphatidylcholine (PC) and essential fatty acid (EFA) content, sunflower lecithin can be utilized as an additive in food and feedstuffs. It is a popular additive in chocolate, mayonnaise, margarine, bakery, and instant products as an emulsifier for its unique fat composition. Sunflower lecithin is generally safe and can be consumed with minimal risk of side effects. Thus, increasing usage of sunflower lecithin further increases market growth opportunities in this region.
Sunflower lecithin is generally safe, but there are some potential side effects that are associated with it. It might cause some gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhoea, cramping, or bloating. Sunflower lecithin may cause allergic reactions in some people, including skin irritation, itching, and swelling around the mouth and lips. Moreover, there is a lack of awareness regarding lecithin, which also restraints the market's growth.
A key challenge that may affect the growth of the market is the rise in raw material prices. The fluctuating prices of raw materials used for manufacturing lecithin are anticipated to hamper the market's growth over the forecast period. The shortage in the raw material may cause the manufacturers to face losses leading to a production delay. Lecithin production is prohibited in a number of nations, and numerous nations require multiple audits of the manufacturing facility before it can produce lecithin. These are the challenges for the market's growth over the forecast period.
