Natural Tocopherols Market Growth Factors


Increased Focus on Sustainability to Support the Growth of the Market


The adoption of eco-friendly production methods, such as biotechnology and fermentation, is expected to increase the use of natural tocopherols in various applications, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable products. The reduced environmental impact associated, compared to synthetic alternatives, is driving their adoption in industries that seek to minimize their ecological footprint. The growing consumer knowledge of environmental issues and the importance of sustainable practices is driving demand for the product, particularly in the food and beverage industry, where consumers are seeking natural preservatives and antioxidants.


Ongoing R&D in the Field of Natural Tocopherol Extraction to Fuel Market Growth


Scientific breakthroughs in the agriculture sector have led to the development of non-GMO, organic soybean oil-based tocopherol products, meeting the demand for sustainable and natural ingredients. Innovations in natural, sustainable extraction of tocopherols, especially from soy and alpha-tocopherol forms, enabling the supply of clean-label, organic tocopherol products to meet rising consumer demand for natural, plant-based supplements, and fortified foods. Moreover, the popularity of alpha-tocopherol is rising as it has the highest biological activity and effectiveness as an antioxidant compared to other tocopherol forms. For instance, E306, a natural tocopherol, is derived from soybean, wheat, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed and vegetables. Adoption of new methods can increase the yield of tocopherol extracted from plant sources. For instance, in October 2019, Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras engineered sunflower plant cells in order to enhance their production of Vitamin E by ten times. The researchers inserted genes involved in vitamin E production from sunflower into a plant called Arabidopsis and tinkered with the genetically engineered cells to produce high quantities of alpha-tocopherol.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Availability of Synthetic Alternatives and Price Fluctuations of Raw Materials to Hamper the Market Growth


One of the major restraints for the global natural tocopherols market growth is the availability of synthetic alternatives. Synthetic vitamin E is readily available and often cheaper than natural ones. This can be a deciding factor for some manufacturers, especially in price-sensitive markets. Moreover, natural tocopherols, which include both d alpha tocopherol with mixed natural tocopherols, are extracted from vegetable oils such as sunflower and soybean oil. Fluctuations in the prices of such raw materials can impact the production cost, hampering the growth of the market.
