Synthetic Menthol Market Analysis:

Given the cooling and minty flavor characteristics of synthetic menthol, which is becoming more popular across various industry verticals, the market is growing significantly. Furthermore, this material is an essential component of many skincare products, including body washes, toothpaste, lip balms, lotions, and shampoos. Accordingly, the demand for synthetic menthol is fueled by the growth of the cosmetics and personal care sectors, which is propelled by shifting customer preferences, product innovation, and rising disposable incomes. Additionally, owing to its calming and analgesic qualities, the growing product necessity in pharmaceutical formulations, such as cough syrups, throat lozenges, topical analgesic creams, and nasal inhalers, is further stimulating the global market. For instance, Amour's Secrets Skincare debuted in the United States beauty industry, emphasizing natural, clean, non-toxic, plant-based ingredients that refresh, rejuvenate, and enhance the skin. Amour's Secrets is launching five new anti-aging, plant-based skincare products, starting with a cleansing hydrating oil, followed by an eye cream, whipped face cream, mild foaming face wash, and a face scrub containing synthetic menthol.

Synthetic Menthol Market Trends:

Rising Usage in the Food and Beverage Industry

Chewing gum, confections, chocolates, drinks, and tobacco products are among a few of the food and beverage products that use synthetic menthol as a flavoring and cooling ingredient. These derivatives taste better and are more refreshing given the minty flavor of this substance, which also makes them more popular with customers. In addition, the demand for synthetic menthol as a food additive is influenced by the expansion of the food and beverage sector, which is fueled by the shifting dietary choices, rising urbanization rates, and changing lifestyle patterns. Accordingly, this material has a number of benefits over natural menthol, including cost-effectiveness, consistency in quality, and purity. Since chemical synthesis is used in its production, more control over yields and manufacturing processes is possible, guaranteeing a steady supply to satisfy market demand. For example, Kraft Heinz launched plant-based cheese slices called NotCheese, which is the first product introduced by the joint venture of Kraft Heinz and Chilean food tech firm NotCo. Moreover, Nomad Foods launched an Open Innovation Portal that invites partners to share new solutions that could be scaled to aid in shaping the future of food and support more sustainable diets.

Emerging Applications in Cosmetics and Personal Care

Synthetic menthol is extensively used in cosmetics, personal care items, and toiletries for its cooling sensation and minty fragrance. It is a key ingredient in several products, such as skincare creams, lotions, lip balms, toothpaste, shampoos, and body washes. The growth of the cosmetics and personal care industry, driven by the changing consumer preferences, product innovation, and the rising disposable incomes, contributes to the need for synthetic menthol further. In line with this, compliance with regulatory requirements and safety standards is essential for the production, marketing, and use of synthetic menthol in consumer products. Manufacturers must adhere to regulations towards food additives, cosmetic ingredients, pharmaceutical excipients, and pesticide formulations to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance. For example, Procter & Gamble launched a deodorant under its Secret brand, Secret Derma+ Antiperspirant, a product designed by female dermatologists to provide skincare properties for minimizing irritation and underarm discoloration. Furthermore, Plus Ultra, a United States-based oral care company, introduced Natural Toothpaste, which is made with aloe vera, bamboo extract, glycerin, peppermint flavor, rosemary extract, and other ingredients, including synthetic menthol. It also contains no BPA, SLS, parabens, neurotoxins, artificial flavors, or dyes.
