The anticipated surge in demand for the food and beverage industry is set to drive the growth of the rice bran derivatives market. The food and beverage sector encompasses businesses involved in processing, packaging, and distributing a range of food products and beverages. In this industry, rice bran plays a multifaceted role as a bioactive component transporter, flavor enhancer, and source for oil extraction. Notably, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that from 2021 to 2022, the total value of US food imports increased from $174.14 billion to $199.83 billion. Additionally, the value of imported beverages in the US rose from $15.76 billion to $16.07 billion in 2022. Thus, the escalating demand in the food and beverage sector is a driving force behind the growth of the rice bran derivatives market.

The expanding cosmetics industry is also expected to contribute to the growth of the rice bran derivatives market. The cosmetics sector involves the production and sale of beauty and personal care products. Rice bran derivatives find applications in cosmetics for their versatile properties, serving as natural ingredients that contribute to skincare formulations, providing moisturization, antioxidants, and nourishing benefits. For instance, the International Trade Administration reported that the cosmetic market in Canada achieved revenue of around $1.2 billion in 2021, with projections estimating a 1.45% annual growth rate, reaching $1.8 billion by 2024. Therefore, the growth in the cosmetics industry becomes a significant driver for the rice bran derivatives market.

Advancements in processing and extraction technology are a significant trend gaining traction in the rice bran derivatives market.
