Tocopherol Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking

Introduction

Compounds showcasing vitamin E activity and having saturated isoprenoid side chains are known as tocopherol. Tocopherols are organic chemical compounds with natural availability. With widespread acceptance from the regulatory authorities, tocopherol has become the primary source of vitamin E in animals and humans alike. For instance, the US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 15 mg/day for adults. Among product types, the alpha tocopherol are much more prominent due to its large scale availability.

Tocopherol Market Dynamics

With the rising health concern and awareness of essential ingredients and minimal side effects of the same, the market for tocopherol is witnessing a higher growth. Having natural occurrences, it comprises of a significant proportion in the human diet and hence, vitamin E deficiency is rare. However, in cases with vitamin E deficiency, the low cost of tocopherol supplements act as a driving factor for the growth of the market. Rising concern over animal health is creating a demand for tocopherol as it eliminates the risk of malnutrition and protects them from pathogen.

One of the factors restricting the growth of tocopherol market is the prevalence of well – publicized studies stating negligible or negative effects of heavy intake of vitamin E supplements. This has caused a sudden plunge in the consumption of vitamin E, hence causing a dip in the sales of tocopherol as well.

The rising prominence of tocotrienols, another class of compounds under the vitamin E family, can be considered to be the primary threat to the tocopherol market. With health benefits such as improved markers of heart disease, benefit over diabetes in animal models as well as human studies, among others, give tocotrienols a competitive edge over tocopherol. However, while the tocotrienols being much prominent in the research fraternity and accounting for a lesser proportion in the global vitamin E market, it is not expected to act as an obstacle to the tocopherol market in the short term forecast period but can act as a potential threat in the second half of the forecast period.

In order to enhance their geographical reach, the manufacturers are noted to upgrade their manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, some manufacturers are also witnessed to enter Joint Ventures in an attempt to strengthen their supply chain footprint, enable locally produced tocopherol and reduce competition leading to the consolidation in the market.
