MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing usage of niacinamide in cancer treatment is one of the major factors propelling the niacinamide market.

Niacinamide increases blood flow to cancer cells and blocks certain enzymes required for those cells to repair DNA damage. This makes cancer cells more responsive to chemotherapy and radiation treatment. A scientific study in 2015 shows that individuals with a high risk for skin cancers could prevent the disease with oral niacinamide intake. In addition, Niacinamide reduces the PARP-1 gene's excess activation, related to cell senescence, cancer, and aging, and protects against UV-induced immunosuppression. It is also used for treating chronic kidney disease. Loss of kidney function affects the body’s ability to clean and filter blood and control blood pressure. According to research, niacinamide may help lower phosphate levels in individuals with kidney dysfunction by preventing its absorption.

The rising demand for skin care products and growing usage of niacinamide in skin care is further anticipated to boost the niacinamide market growth.

This vitamin plays a role in production processes as well as the synthesis of fatty and amino acids, which is essential for the achievement of milk. Therefore, niacin supplements have positive benefits on cattle growth. Furthermore, with its availability in feed and internal production, the microbial synthesis of niacin in the stomach is a vital source for dairy cows.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

On the other hand, a lack of awareness regarding the benefits of niacinamide and strict regulatory forms are anticipated to showcase a negative impact on the global niacinamide market. Side effects such as stomach upset, gas, dizziness, headache, and rash may challenge the market growth. In addition, Niacinamide cream may t cause mild burning, itching, or redness.
