India Beta-Glucan Market (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved two major approaches in estimating the current size of the beta-glucan market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the market.

In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, food journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the beta glucan market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, and related key executives from distributors and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to beta-glucan sources, categories, application, type, extraction method, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as processed food and functional food products manufacturers, were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, and their current usage of beta-glucan and the outlook of their business, which will affect the overall market.

Market Definition

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides that function as immunomodulatory agents. That is, they help and regulate the immune system and as dietary fibers that contribute to reducing the total plasma cholesterol and lowering the glycemic index of food. Beta-glucans are predominantly found and extracted from cell walls in yeast, fungi, and seaweed. Primary sources of beta-glucan include yeast, mushrooms, seaweed, and cereals, such as oats, rye, barley, and wheat.
