“Clean Label and Functional Ingredient Demand”
- A significant trend driving the global mono and diglycerides and derivatives market is the increasing demand for clean label, plant-based, and multifunctional food ingredients. Consumers are showing a clear preference for sustainable, minimally processed emulsifiers that enhance both product quality and health profiles, in line with the global movement toward transparent and natural food products
- For instance, Kerry Group (Ireland) offers clean label emulsifier solutions, including Mono and Diglycerides that cater to the growing need for natural, non-GMO, and allergen-free ingredients across bakery, dairy, and confectionery sectors. Similarly, DuPont (U.S.) focuses on plant-based mono and diglycerides offerings with an emphasis on label-friendly and functional performance
- Mono and Diglycerides and their derivatives are increasingly incorporated into mainstream food products, including bakery goods, dairy alternatives, frozen desserts, and processed foods, where they provide essential emulsification, texture enhancement, and shelf-life extension
- This evolving focus on clean label and functional benefits is reshaping product development, with companies emphasizing plant-derived, non-trans-fat mono and diglycerides that align with consumer expectations for health, sustainability, and ingredient transparency
- The demand for multifunctional emulsifiers is also driving innovation in food formulations, with manufacturers such as BASF SE (Germany) investing in sustainable production processes and bio-based derivatives to meet both regulatory and market demands
- As health-conscious consumers worldwide continue to prioritize natural ingredients and clean-label claims, the mono and diglycerides and derivatives market is poised for steady growth, particularly across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific food and beverage industries
