Fluctuations in lycopene prices may constrain lycopene market outlook

Despite an optimistic growth scenario, the volatile nature of lycopene supply and demand often leads to fluctuations in its prices, which may act as a constrain for the market. Low availability and steep prices of raw materials further add to the overall price of the product, which makes it an out of reach commodity for many end-users. Recent natural calamities such as floods, droughts, and other unprecedented events have affected cultivation of tomatoes, which has skyrocketed the prices of lycopene products. These high costs can turn consumers towards more easily available low-cost substitutes.
