The surge in the incidence of prostate cancer is expected to be one of the key factors driving the sales of lycopene market. Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer among men worldwide, as per data from the World Cancer Research Fund International.
In 2019, there were 1.5 million new cases of prostate cancer. Lycopene has been found in some research to have anticancer effects. Lycopene has the ability to cause apoptosis and decrease cancer cell growth. Hence, lycopene's anticancer properties aid in the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer. As a result, the rising prevalence of prostate cancer is expected to drive the global lycopene market. Lycopene is also beneficial to cardiovascular health. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is expected to raise the demand for substances that promote heart health. As a consequence, the usage of lycopene in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industries to prevent and treat prostate cancer and heart disease is likely to grow.
Moreover, the growing demand for natural cosmetic products is projected to boost the demand for lycopene. The customer preference for natural personal care products has increased in recent years as a result of enhanced awareness about the negative impacts of the chemicals used in cosmetics. Lycopene is an ideal natural element for the creation of natural cosmetic products.
