The future development trend of phosphatidylserine in the health industry

The future development trends of phosphatidylserine in the health industry are as follows:

1. Market Size Growth

With the continuous improvement of people's attention to health and the increasing focus on brain health, phosphatidylserine, as a substance with important nutritional effects on the brain, is expected to see a continuous growth in market demand. According to relevant research reports, the global market sales of phosphatidylserine reached $135 million in 2022 and are expected to reach $177 million in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.05% from 2023 to 2029.

2. Expansion of Application Fields

Dietary Supplements: The application of phosphatidylserine in dietary supplements will continue to expand. In addition to the common forms of capsules and tablets, there may be more diverse dosage forms such as powders and oral liquids to meet the needs of different consumers. Moreover, there will be more specific formula supplements for different age groups and health conditions. For example, high - content phosphatidylserine supplements designed specifically for the elderly are used to prevent and improve cognitive decline; supplements compounded with phosphatidylserine and other brain - boosting nutrients such as DHA and lutein designed for children and adolescents help improve learning ability and attention.

Functional Foods: Its application in functional foods will gradually increase, such as being added to dairy products, baked goods, beverages, etc. Adding phosphatidylserine to infant formula helps promote the brain development of infants; adding it to sports nutrition foods can help athletes relieve sports stress and improve brain reaction speed and physical recovery ability.

Pharmaceutical Field: It has been found that phosphatidylserine can regulate intracellular signal pathways, which provides a new target for the development of drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In the future, more therapeutic drugs for neurological diseases may be developed based on phosphatidylserine. It can also be used as a drug carrier for the preparation of nanodrug delivery systems such as liposomes and nano - emulsions to achieve the slow - release, controlled - release, and targeted delivery of drugs.

3. Innovation in Raw Materials and Production Technology

Diversification of Raw Material Sources: At present, the raw materials of phosphatidylserine are mainly derived from natural soybean oil - extraction residues, etc. However, with the increase in market demand and the development of technology, more raw material sources may be explored, such as extraction from other plants or microorganisms, to improve the supply stability and quality of raw materials.

Optimization of Production Process: The production process will be continuously improved and optimized. Advanced technologies such as the CO2 supercritical extraction process will be more widely used, and new production technologies may also emerge, thereby improving the extraction efficiency, purity, and biological activity of phosphatidylserine and reducing the production cost.

4. Increased Application in Personalized Health Management

With the development of the concepts of precision medicine and personalized health management, phosphatidylserine will be more applied in personalized health programs. Through individual genetic testing, health status assessment, etc., precise phosphatidylserine supplementation suggestions will be provided for consumers, including the dosage, time, and method of supplementation, to achieve the best health effects.

However, the development of phosphatidylserine in the health industry also faces some challenges. For example, its safety and effectiveness in some aspects still need more research to confirm, and there are certain restrictions on its use and market sales in some countries. In addition, the high cost of raw materials may also limit its wide application in some fields.
