The global isoflavones market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% to reach USD 1.5 billion during the forecast period. Growth in this market is mainly driven by the increase in incidences of chronic diseases, the rise in the prevalence of cancer, technological advancements in the manufacturing of isoflavones, and the rapidly increasing geriatric population. However, stringent regulatory requirements and unfavorable drug price control policies across various countries are significant factors that are expected to restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent.
Isoflavones are a class of organic compounds related to flavonoids that act as phytoestrogens. They are commonly sourced from soybeans, red clover, chickpeas, green peas, and alfalfa. They find applications in manufacturing cosmetics and various skin care products such as moisturizers and face creams. Isoflavones also find significant applications in the pharmaceutical industry as they are used on a large scale for curing various diseases.

Driver: Prevalence of menopausal issues
Women in their menopause stage experience various issues such as hot flashes, insomnia, and, in numerous cases, sexual dysfunction. Many women prefer supplements containing estrogen, which may significantly increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, or breast or uterine cancer. Thus, estrogen may not be an option for many women, depending on their health and family health history. Women are currently inclining toward supplements with naturally therapeutic ingredients to manage their menopause symptoms with fewer risks. In response to such changing preferences of women, supplement manufacturers have turned to natural alternatives. They have started utilizing soy isoflavones instead of estrogen, as it mimics the estrogen characteristics and provides estrogen effects that aid in reducing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and fatigue.
Owing to the rising issues related to menopause and women’s inclination toward supplements with natural alternatives, the demand for isoflavones from the nutraceutical industry is projected to grow in the coming years
Restraint: Stringent regulatory requirements
Isoflavones come under the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) category; hence, manufacturers have to follow the rules and regulations imposed for all API products.
Pharmaceutical API manufacturers across the globe are witnessing a rise in the demand for APIs, which results in a positive outlook for the market. However, the increasing stringency of regulations is considered as a major restraint that may limit the growth prospects of the market. According to the report, “Fine chemicals stringent regulations prompt return of manufacturing to the west,” published by IHS Chemical Week in January 2015, the demand for APIs is expected to grow at a consistent rate, while the supply of APIs manufactured with international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and world-class documentation is not keeping pace with this demand.
By Source, the soy segment is expected to lead the isoflavones market.
Prominent dietary sources of isoflavones include soy milk and plant-based alternatives. Several calcium-fortified soy drinks that are rich in fiber and proteins are given preference in countries such as Germany, France, and Switzerland. The consumption of soy isoflavones as food ingredients or food supplements reduces the risk of breast cancer and growth of cancer cells by reducing the cell mitosis process, which fuels the demand for soy as a major source of isoflavones.
