Soy is the major source of extracting isoflavones globally. Soya-based extracts prevent heart-related diseases & bone problems and are used for controlling high blood pressure & cholesterol. It is also helpful for asthma, diabetes, multiple cancers, and slowing the progression of kidney disease. These extracts are believed to be a helpful cure for preventing breast cancer, hot flashes after breast cancer, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopausal symptoms

However, excessive use of these products for long duration can have side effects. These side effects include triggering of certain food allergies in some people (such as a runny nose, itching, digestive disorders, and stomach irritations), headache, bloating, cramping, migraine, and other stomach problems.

Many government testing agencies have also found that the isoflavone content present in products differed by more than 10% from the amount claimed on the label in approximately 50% of the products tested. Therefore the quality and quantity of isoflavones used in supplements and food & beverages are believed to be a negative factor for product growth.

Source Insights

Isoflavones are derived from soybeans, red clover, peas, and other natural sources. Soy-based extracts dominated the Isoflavones industry in 2015. It accounted for over 80% of the overall share. The soy-based product is expected to witness a similar trend over the next nine years, owing to its various health advantages.

Other sources such as red clover, beans, lentils, flaxseeds, green tea, and peas accounted for a small share in the global isoflavones market. Various research agencies and companies which are involved in the extraction process are trying to develop new and improve methods for deriving the isoflavones from its sources.

Application Insights

Nutraceutical was the most dominant application sector and accounted for USD 5.14 billion in 2015. Isoflavones extract is commonly used in nutraceutical, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical industries. The various health benefits of the product make it a popular raw material among these industries.

Food & beverage and cosmetics industries are also anticipated to have remarkable growth over the forecast period. In food and beverage, it is commonly used as additives. This application sector is expected to be worth over 23% of the total market by 2025. In cosmetics application, it is used as antioxidants in hair care and skin care products.

Regional Insights

North America was the leading producer and consumer for isoflavones in 2015. In the same year, the region accounted for 37% of global demand. The region experiences the presence of a large number of product extract manufacturers. Europe is also emerging as a potential market for the same, owing to its various health benefits. The region is anticipated to witness remarkable growth in the coming years.

Asia Pacific is a mature market place for isoflavones. Some of the countries present in the region for instance China, Japan, and South Korea are the largest consumers of soy and its products in the world. Due to this, the demand for isoflavones is not much in these countries. The rest of the countries in the region, such as India and Indonesia are potential markets for the product. But, in compassion to the western countries, the demand in Asian countries is less, owing to the consumption of beans, peas, soy, and other sources in their daily diet.
