The high cost of ferulic acid compared to synthetic antioxidants is a major restraint for the market. This cost factor hinders the adoption of ferulic acid in mass-produced consumer products, limiting its market reach and growth potential.
The limited availability of raw materials for ferulic acid production is another major restraint for the market. Ferulic acid is primarily obtained from plant sources such as rice bran and wheat germ, and the fluctuating supply of these raw materials can impact the production and pricing of ferulic acid, posing a challenge for market players.
