[193 Pages Report] The Medium-chain Triglycerides Market size was estimated at USD 1.24 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.30 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.51% to reach USD 1.80 billion by 2030.
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are dietary fats found in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and dairy products. Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), the diet’s most common form of fat, MCTs have a shorter chemical structure, usually consisting of a glycerol backbone attached to 6 to 12-carbon fatty acids and increasing consumer awareness of health and wellness, particularly regarding weight management and energy levels, expanding applications in pharmaceuticals due to their beneficial properties as carriers for drugs, and rising adoption of the ketogenic diet, which emphasizes high fat intake, including MCTs. However, competition from long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), which are cheaper and more abundant in the food supply, may impede market adoption. Nevertheless, developing new formulations that enhance the bioavailability of nutrients and drugs, expanding the use of MCTs in infant nutrition, and exploring novel food applications and clean-label products create potential opportunities for market growth.
