Phytosterols are plant stanols and sterols and found in the fatty tissues of plants. Phytosterols cannot be synthesized by humans and animals due to which they need to be included in the diet. Phytosterols have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol (except for the addition of one ethyl or methyl group); however, the absorption of phytosterols in humans is much lesser that that of cholesterol. Phytosterols are naturally found in all items of plant origin; mainly oils, but also in dried fruits and pulses.

Consumers across the world are becoming more health conscious for foods with additional benefits such as low cholesterol and reduced disease risks. Phytosterol-rich food diets help in reducing cholesterol absorption and reduce the risks of heart diseases. Rapid advances in science and technology, increasing health care costs, aging population, and rising awareness of customers in attaining wellness through diet are the major factors driving the demand for functional food and beverages as well as ingredients such as phytosterols and carotenoids.

The high-growth potential in emerging markets and untapped regions provides new growth opportunities for market players. The growth of this market is driven by growing customer attention towards superior quality food, which should be balanced and nutritive.
