Ever since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, countries worldwide have been resorting to tough social distancing measures to contain the spread of the virus. This includes the imposition of nationwide lockdowns and curbs on domestic and international travel. Additionally, business entities have urged their employees to work from home. Furthermore, a general element of cautiousness has pervaded people across the world. This is compelling them to resort to basic hygienic precautions, including regular hand-washing and consuming immunity boosting foods. Beta glucans are fulfilling that objective, which is why its sales have multiplied since the past four months.

Building on this premise, pharmaceutical companies are conducting extensive research on incorporating beta-glucans into their drug formulations. Thus, the market is expected to remain afloat throughout the pandemic's duration.
