Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Explosive Growth in Health and Wellness Consciousness:
The global drive for a healthy lifestyle is changing the market for medium chain triglycerides. As health and nutrition-conscious consumers increasingly demand functional foods or dietary supplements with additional value beyond nutritional value, the unique properties of MCTs are gaining increasing attention. They are rapidly converted to ketones instead of being stored in the body as fat. This has formed the basis for much interest in the use of ketones in diet, supplementation for cognitive performance enhancement, and as a source of sustained energy throughout the day. Because the ketogenic diet is globally popular, millions of people on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet widely use MCTs as a supplement. After researchers reviewed 29 studies, they found that people who took MCTs ate less energy than people who took long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), so MCTs might treat obesity and overweight. Athletes and others who are physically active have been encouraged to include MCT oil into their diets, for its purported ability to source energy fast during high-intensity exercise and to increase endurance and perform. Lifestyle diseases rise, also other metabolic dysfunctions occur. Preventive nutrition gains popularity, and MCTs help with several diseases plus metabolic disorders that include epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.
- Booming Personal Care and Cosmetics Industry Adoption:
MCTs have become popular in the cosmetic and personal care industries, following the trend of consumers demanding natural, safe and effective ingredients. MCTs are considered to be excellent emollients and are well suited to skin and hair care. MCTs are often used as emollients for moisturizers as they do not leave an oily residue like some other carrier oils. This is due to their small molecular structure which allows them to permeate the skin and improve sensory properties. This popularity has surged because of the rise of clean beauty and rejection of synthetic ingredients for consumer-friendly ingredients. MCTs from coconuts in particular can have a strong positive impact on consumer perception as they are widely accepted as a sustainable ingredient source. Many large cosmetic manufacturers have started reformulating existing products and/or formulating new products with MCTs due to market research showing consumer preference for natural and organic ingredients. The versatility of MCTs allows them to easily be included in a wide variety of products including creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and aromatherapy products, thus increasing the industrial demand for this material. Other drivers of growth of the global cosmetics market include rising disposable income globally and influence of social media and celebrities.
