Middle East and Africa Phytosterols Market Analysis

The market for phytosterols in the Middle East and Africa is expanding. It is motivated by the growth in the diabetes rate in this region and rising awareness about health and wellness. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 2021 report shows that the MENA region has the highest prevalence of diabetes, with 16.2% of the population affected, and the number of people suffering from diabetes is expected to rise by 86%, reaching 136 million by 2045. Such an increase in diabetes is leading to a heightened concern among the consumer for measures of preventive health and healthy living. Consumers are thus showing more interest in having phytosterols-a supplement that not only reduces cholesterol levels but also provides heart benefits-within the spectrum of healthier lifestyle choices. Consumers in this region are keenly looking out for natural and plant-based supplements for chronic conditions management, thus raising demand for phytosterols. Along with improving the awareness in health matters, the requirement of long-term health will promote the sustainable growth of phytosterol in the future across the region of MENA.
