Natural antioxidants refer to naturally occurring additives that are primarily used for delaying the oxidative rancidity in biological products. The variants of natural antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols and carotenoids. Natural antioxidants are widely adopted for mitigating the production of free radicals from the body cells and preventing the damage caused by oxidation. As a result, they aid in mitigating the risk of numerous medical ailments, such as cancer, cardiac arrest, emphysema, Parkinson's disease, etc., that may be caused due to oxidative stress in the body. As a result, they are widely used across diverse industries, such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, etc.
The growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases due to the increasing consumption of refined and processed foods, trans fats, artificial sweeteners, chemical additives, etc., is propelling the need for natural antioxidants. Moreover, the rising incidences of chronic respiratory ailments based on the high exposure to air pollutants, including industrial solvents, hazardous gases, dust particles, etc., are also driving the natural antioxidants market growth. Apart from this, the growing consumer awareness towards numerous benefits of natural antioxidants in reducing the oxidative damage due to chemotherapy is further augmenting the product demand in cancer treatment procedures. Additionally, the increasing consumer inclination from synthetic antioxidants, such as BHA, BHT, propyl gallates, EDTA, etc., towards cleaner and safer alternatives is also catalyzing the global market. Besides this, a significant growth in the cosmetic sector is further fueling the utilization of natural antioxidants for reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, dark circles, skin dullness, etc.
