Lycopene can be sourced from synthetic as well as natural sources, and based on the source, the price and application of lycopene vary.

Hence, the manufacturers have been shifting their product offering from synthetic sources to naturally extracted ingredients, and this trend has been witnessed to be true in the lycopene market as well.

Traditionally, the application of lycopene was limited to its use as a coloring agent. However, multiple clinical studies have proved its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and hence, the application of lycopene has broadened in multiple application industries. As a result, the application of lycopene has been growing as a health ingredient in the dietary supplement and functional food industries.
