According to this latest release, the lecithin market is projected to hit $2.91 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2031. Factors such as the rising demand for natural and functional ingredients, increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases like cardiovascular issues, obesity, osteoporosis, and diabetes, coupled with the surge in demand for processed food and beverage products, and heightened awareness about phospholipids, are driving market growth. Conversely, the presence of synthetic alternatives and soy product allergies are anticipated to restrict market growth to some extent.
Furthermore, the growing demand for lecithin in the personal care sector and its increasing use in developing countries are likely to present growth opportunities for stakeholders. However, the market faces significant challenges, including fluctuating raw material prices and availability, as well as a lack of awareness regarding lecithin’s benefits.
Additionally, there is a notable trend towards non-GMO and clean-label products within the lecithin market.
Key Players: The lecithin market features moderate competition with numerous large and small global, regional, and local players. Key players include Cargill, Incorporated (U.S.), Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (U.S.), DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

The lecithin market is primarily segmented by type (unrefined, refined, modified), source (soy {non-GMO and GMO}, sunflower, canola/rapeseed, egg yolk, and other sources), form (liquid, powder, granular), application (food and beverages {bakery products, confectionery products, dairy products, other food and beverages}, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, personal care, animal feed, and other applications), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa). The study also assesses industry competitors and analyzes regional and country-level markets.
By type, the lecithin market is divided into unrefined, refined, and modified. In 2024, the unrefined segment is projected to hold the largest market share due to the increasing demand for food additives, natural ingredients with minimal processing, and their use in cosmetics. Additionally, the easy availability and superior benefits of unrefined lecithin over modified lecithin further support this segment’s growth.
By source, the market is segmented into soy, sunflower, canola/rapeseed, egg yolk, and other sources. The soy segment is expected to dominate in 2024 with a 45.1% market share, attributed to the high availability of soy, its lower cost, and increasing use in plant-based foods and dairy alternatives. The growing application of soy-based phospholipids in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals also drives market growth.
By form, the market is segmented into liquid, powder, and granular. The liquid segment is anticipated to lead in 2024, due to its ease of use, high stability, and versatility. Liquid lecithin’s effectiveness in emulsifying oil and water mixtures is crucial in many food and cosmetic applications.
By application, the market is segmented into food and beverages, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, animal feed, and other applications. The food and beverages segment is expected to hold the largest share at 46.4% in 2024, driven by the rising demand for processed foods, plant-based products, and the multiple functional roles lecithin plays in food products.
