The Global Catechin market was valued at USD 16.67 billion in 2023. The global market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2024 to 2032 and be worth USD 22.71 billion by 2032 from USD 17.25 billion in 2024.
Catechin is a kind of natural phenol and antioxidant. The increasing benefits of catechin extraction are driving market growth. The most common and popular raw material for the extraction of catechin is green tea. Increasing consumer health awareness and the prospect of a healthier lifestyle is what drives the consumer base to change their eating habits and adapt to healthy food consumption.
The four key kinds of catechin comprise epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, and epigallocatechin-3-gallate. These catechins present in green tea vary in composition, with the highest EGCG representing 60.0%, followed by EGC, ECG and EC representing 20.0%, 14.0% and 6.0% respectively. Green tea catechin extraction can be done by high hydrostatic pressure (HHPE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (EAU), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and solvent extraction. The effectiveness of the extraction technique depends on several factors, such as the variety of tea used, the extraction parameters and the configuration and storage conditions. However, some of the extraction technologies require a lot of capital and require a longer extraction time. Research and development activities are carried out to minimize the time and cost of extraction, increase the extraction rate, and maximize yield and processing efficiency. Furthermore, the main actors focus on the development of technologies that reduce the use of chemicals in the extraction process. For example, Botaniex introduced a process without ethyl acetate for the extraction of catechin. The new product developed by the company is chemical-free, making it healthier and safer for consumers. Therefore, residue-free ingredients extracted through innovative technologies should help dietary supplement manufacturers enter the catechins market.

The global Catechin Market has been segmented mainly by application. The supplement applications segment accounted for 33.9% of revenue in 2019. Catechin, due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-aging properties, is widely used in various functional nutritional supplements and beauty. Regular consumption of dietary supplements promotes weight loss, improves brain health by preventing degenerative brain diseases, and improving neurological function of cells. In addition, it also helps maintain heart health by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and plaque build-up in blood vessels. The pharmaceutical application of catechin is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide due to the various benefits associated with the product. It is effective in preventing and treating various diseases such as cancer, arthritis, obesity, diabetes and infections. However, the catechin extraction may contain impurities. Therefore, safety tests are performed to verify the purity of products sold as medicines. Pharmaceutical products containing catechins include topical gels sold for the treatment of external and perianal warts. They are regulated by the US FDA and are sold as prescription drugs in the county.
The increase in demand for products in this region is mainly attributed to the increasing attention paid to dietary supplements and food and beverages functional among millennials. The region, led by the United States, is home to many world-famous beverage manufacturers. Improved sanitary measures to prevent the occurrence of various diseases, along with government efforts to improve the national health standard, are contributing to the growth of the dietary supplement market, which in turn is expected to increase the demand for catechin in the country. Additionally, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the products for use as a prescription medication for the treatment of genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The drug is sold by prescription by Fougera Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Asia Pacific has become the fastest growing regional market and is expected to experience a 3.9% annual compound rate during the forecast period. China is the leading producer and consumer of the product in the region due to growing consumer awareness of healthy lifestyles and high spending on functional food and drinks. Central and South America have seen an increase in obesity and overweight rates in the past decade, which has led to increased health awareness and a shift in consumer preference for dietary supplements and organic food products. The increasing demand for nutraceuticals is expected to drive demand for catechins in the region. Major manufacturers are expected to invest significant sums in R&D activities to manufacture specific dietary supplements. This should have a positive impact on the region's market.
The Catechin Market is concentrated with key players like Taiyo Green Power Wxee, Hangzhou Qinyuan Natural Plant High-tech Co., Ltd., Hunan Sunfull Bio-tech Co., Ltd., Novanat Bioresource, Inc., and Chengdu Wagott Bio-tech Co., Ltd.
A biotech company called “text Mobility, Inc., has dedicated to developing pharmaceuticals for the highly bioavailable Phytofare catechin complex. The company also announced its Purchase of Cannabis Biosciences from Plandaí Biotechnology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits associated with catechins, as well as growing interest in natural and functional ingredients in food, beverage, and skincare products, are driving demand for catechins. Additionally, research highlighting the potential health benefits of catechins, coupled with the rise of the health and wellness trend, is fueling market growth. Moreover, the expanding applications of catechins in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, are contributing to market expansion.
Despite the growing demand for catechins, there are challenges in terms of sourcing and extraction. Catechins are primarily obtained from tea leaves, and fluctuations in tea production and quality can affect the availability and pricing of catechin-rich extracts. Additionally, ensuring the stability and bioavailability of catechins in finished products presents formulation challenges for manufacturers. Regulatory considerations, especially regarding health claims and labeling requirements, also impact the marketing and sale of catechin-containing products.
Catechins are a type of flavonoid, a class of plant compounds known for their antioxidant properties. They are found primarily in tea, particularly green tea, as well as in smaller amounts in foods such as cocoa, fruits, and red wine.
