Which Region led the  Carotenoids Market in 2023 in terms of market share?

Europe held the largest market share in 2023. As the largest market currently in existence, the region is anticipated to hold a significant portion of the market over the course of the projection. The region's well-established cosmetics industry and sizable animal feed sector are the primary forces behind the expansion of the carotenoids market. Additionally, in European markets, these are some of the most favored food coloring additives. Food processors worldwide are placing a high value on organic and natural ingredients because of their benefits to food safety, quality, sustainability, and social convenience. Due to frequent inspections of food labels for information on the provenance of ingredients, manufacturing processes, and the environmental impact of the supply chain, consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious. 

In North America's developed markets, these considerations are pushing the demand for natural tetraterpenoids over genetically modified organisms and other synthetic alternatives. Due to tetraterpenoids' beneficial effect in treating Vitamin A deficiency—a serious public health concern, particularly for young children and pregnant women in low-income countries in Southeast Asia and Africa—consumption of these compounds is rising. Infant mortality in emerging nations is also largely attributed to vitamin A deficiency. In addition, it is anticipated that the increased interest of global market participants in building their enterprises in the quickly developing Asian economies would further propel market expansion throughout the area. It is anticipated that South America's rapidly expanding animal feed market and rising need for specialty feed would drive up demand for this product there.
