Incorporation of Coconut Oil in Functional Foods & Beverages Presents Lucrative Opportunities for the Market Expansion

The increasing awareness regarding health among consumers has resulted in the adoption of healthier food alternatives. Moreover, owing to the rising health and wellness trends, there has been a significant rise in the demand for functional foods and beverages. The potential health benefits of coconut oil owing to the presence of its medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a contributing factor towards the adoption of coconut oil in functional food and beverages. These components make coconut oil easily digestible and also provide energy when added as an ingredient to functional beverages. It also helps with digestion, metabolism, and overall health, which appeals to people looking for functional beverages.

In addition, the rising preference for plant-based and natural ingredients also increases the demand for coconut oil. The adoption of coconut oil in functional food and beverages also caters to the demand for clean-label and natural products. Furthermore, manufacturers are also introducing novel products such as energy drinks, smoothies, and nutritional shakes infused with coconut oil that help with weight management and overall well-being.

Availability of Alternatives, Adverse Climatic Conditions and Presence of Saturated Fats are Likely to Hamper the Market Growth

The availability of alternatives for coconut oil which include almond oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, etc. is one of the major limiting factors of coconut oil market expansion. On the other hand, coconut production is affected by adverse climatic conditions which results in a shortage of raw materials required for coconut oil production. In addition to this, the increasing awareness regarding the presence of saturated fats in coconut oil has also resulted in a decrease in its demand among consumers. All these factors are likely to have a negative impact on the overall coconut oil market expansion over the forecast period.
