Due to the rise in processed food consumption, the demand for PEG 120 methyl glucoside dioleate will increase in the forecast timeframe. The use of viscous liquids for clinical nutrition, infant nutrition, and sports nutrition has increased which will drive the growth of this methyl glucose product type. Moreover, with nanotechnology expanding its boundaries in the cosmetics industry, the application scope of PEG 120 methyl glucoside dioleate will also expand. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) encompass this product as a carrier in many cosmetic formulations which will increase its market penetration.
 

The role of PEG 120 methyl glucoside dioleate which acts as a fragrant fixative and humectant for haircare and skincare will also augment market demand for this type. With the increase in the number of specialized products targeted at reducing itchiness, reddening, and inflammation, methyl PEG 120 methyl glucoside dioleate will witness an increased consumption. Moreover, the market demand for PEG 120 methyl glucoside dioleate will grow considerably due to changing sustainability scenarios such as reduction in the carbon footprint in the manufacturing processes of this type of methyl glucose.
 

Adoption of the liquid form will increase owing to its easy blending properties

Liquid format dominates the market share owing to its versatility to blend with a variety of cosmetic formulations. Provisions of convenient and low-cost transport systems have also paved way for the adoption of the liquid form of methyl glucose. The liquid form has also demonstrated compatibility with botanical ingredients in formulations which will increase its market share. The rise in the consumption of water-proof liquid cosmetics has also expediated the sales of the liquid form segment in the APAC methyl glucose market.

Easier manufacturability and technical advantages such as uniform dispersion and consistency in bulk reactions will encourage formulators’ inclination towards this format. It also enables formulators to regulate the temperatures as powder format requires more control operations for temperature. Moreover, the liquid form also possesses lesser threat to the market participants involved in labor, as it is in diluted forms, complying with the sustainability standards.
