Description

The global Plant Derived Cholesterol market size is predicted to grow from US$ 191 million in 2025 to US$ 390 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2025 to 2031.

Cholesterol (plant-derived) is a minor plant sterol found in plant cells and a component of surface lipids. It is vital to plant metabolism and indicates the creation of various bioactive plant metabolites. Approximately 25 percent of the brain's lipid content is cholesterol, making it a major component of not just cell plasma membranes but all biological membranes.

Latest since the approval of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, the important role of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in drug delivery has been generally recognized. All LNPs approved so far consist to a significant extent (30-50%) of the natural lipid Cholesterol or its derivatives. The molar content of Cholesterol has tremendous influence on LNP size and shape, transfection efficiency, and expression levels of the protein(s) encoded by the transported mRNA. The invention of synthetic strategies to derive Cholesterol from plant-extracted Phytosterols gave way to the bulk scale production of entirely animal-free excipient grade Cholesterol of high and consistent product quality in accordance with Pharmacopoeia requirements. As a structural component in biological membranes, cholesterol is essential to cell biology, membrane dynamics, and lipid metabolism studies. It has a significant effect on membrane integrity, fluidity, and signaling processes. Cholesterol (plant derived) shows significant value in pharmaceutical applications as it can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient, particularly in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems like lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). By enhancing particle stability through regulating membrane integrity and rigidity, it becomes useful for drug delivery research and development.
