In this report, LP Information covers the present scenario (with the base year being 2017) and the growth prospects of global Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCT) market for 2018-2023.
Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a class of lipids in which three saturated fats are bound to a glycerol backbone. What distinguishes MCTs from other triglycerides is the fact that each fat molecule is between six and twelve carbons in length. MCTs are a component of many foods, with coconut and palm oils being the dietary sources with the highest concentration of MCTs. MCTs are also available as a dietary supplement.
For industry structure analysis, the medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) industry is fragmented, but still more concentrated compared with the whole fatty acid esters industry. EU is the biggest consumption market of MCT, followed by Southeast Asia and USA. The market shares in emerging markets are not high, but in fast growth.
For price trend analysis, a key variable in the performance of MCT producers is raw material costs, specifically the speed at which any increase can be passed through to customers. The price of the major raw material palm and coconut has been increasing for the past years.
For trade analysis, the import and export business of MCT is frequent, with Southeast Asia the leading exporter. The import business in EU and USA are frequent and local demand cannot be met with the production.
