Drivers and Restraints:
Increasing incorporation of medium-chain triglycerides as an alternative to regular fats in diets
Medium-chain triglycerides are often used in nutritional diets, infant formulas, functional foods, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, sports drinks, and dietary supplements, as they rapidly generate energy and enhance the endurance of human body. These triglycerides are rapidly broken down and easily absorbed in the human body due to their shorter chain length of fatty acids, making them less likely to be stored as body fat. This also helps with instant energy generation in the body. Extremely low-carb or ketogenic diets are efficient ways of weight reduction, and these triglycerides can be added in such diets as they produce ketones.
Due to the aforesaid benefits, medium-chain triglycerides are becoming popular among consumers who are health conscious and inclined toward healthy eating habits, resulting in their increased demand.
Use of mineral oils as substitute
Mineral oils are often used as substitutes for medium-chain triglycerides in cosmetics and personal care products, as the former are more cost-effective. Medium-chain triglycerides act as good skin barrier builders when used in personal care products, but not strong enough as mineral oils. These triglycerides are good substitutes for mineral oils only if they are formulated without petrochemicals. Thus, the availability of substitutes such as mineral oils is restraining market growth.
