Increasing prevalence of obesity in western countries, particularly across North America is expected to proliferate the need for weight management supplements containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Lack of nutrition, rapid adoption of sedentary lifestyles, improper diet, and the increasing consumption of alcohol are some of the key contributors to adult obesity. According to the 19th annual report by the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) on the obesity crisis, 19 U.S. states reported more than 35% growth in obesity rates in 2022, up from 16 states in 2021. Hence, the growing burden of obesity will fuel the application scope of MCT for enhanced weight management and mental function.
 

Easy availability of alternative products may hamper the industry growth

The rising use of mineral oils as substitutes for MCTs and MCT products could impede the medium-chain triglycerides market analysis. Mineral oils are extensively used to manufacture cosmetics and personal care products as opposed to MCTs as they provide better strength and moisture retention properties. Additionally, unlike MCT-based oil formulations, mineral oils offer excellent lubrication properties along with suitable spreadable consistency.

The medium-chain triglycerides market valuation from the palm source segment is poised to surpass USD 835 million by 2032. Palm seeds and kernels are widely used to manufacture MCTs due to their high production yield at 3.3t/ha as compared to rapeseed and sunflower with a 0.7t/ha yield. Palm oil is a rich source of MCTs and antioxidants offering numerous health benefits, including a healthy immune system. The growing health concerns associated with age-related macular degeneration, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers are also driving the consumer preference for a vitamin E-rich diet, further emphasizing on MCT oils produced from palm kernels.
