Market Overview:
The global lactulose API market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lactulose from the pharmaceuticals and food ingredient industries. Additionally, rising awareness about the benefits of lactulose is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, crystalline lactulose accounted for a major share of the global lactulose API market in 2017. This segment is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period owing to its high purity and better solubility as compared with liquid lactulose. On account of these properties, crystalline lactulose is preferred by manufacturers for use in various applications such as pharmaceuticals and food ingredients. Based on application, pharmaceuticals was a leading segment in terms of demand for lactulose APIs globally in 2017 and is projected to maintain its lead duringthe forecast period as well.
Product Definition:
Lactulose is a prescription medication used to treat constipation and encephalopathy. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar molecule that is not absorbed by the body but instead passes through the gut and into the colon where it attracts water. This causes stool to become softer and easier to pass.
Crystalline Lactulose:
Crystalline lactulose is a type of lactulose that has been purified by crystallization. It is a white hygroscopic crystalline powder and has an odor similar to sweet milk. Crystalline Lactulose (CL) market can be segmented on the basis of application into dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and others such as food additives & dietary supplements.
Liquid Lactulose:
Liquid lactulose is a colloidal suspension of the sugar lactose in water. It is manufactured by the chemical synthesis of D-lactose (a disaccharide) and then treated with alkali to form a hydrogel, which can be used as an effective thickening agent for various liquids such as oils, aliphatic acids, and ketones.
Application Insights:
The food ingredient application segment led the global lactulose API market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a revenue-based CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for dairy products, such as ice cream, yogurt, cheese and other related products across the globe. Furthermore, growing consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) owing to its health hazards is also expected to drive product demand in this segment over the next few years.
Lactulose has been used as an auxiliary sweetener in CSDs since its introduction during World War II due largely to its low calorie content which makes it suitable for use by dietetic authorities authorized guidelines on CSDs have recommended limiting consumption of these beverages with regard to their potential contribution towards obesity and related diseases globally; thus driving industry expansion over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period as well. This can be attributed to increasing cases of lactose intolerance and a rise in demand for lactose free products, which is anticipated to drive product consumption in this region. Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is projected to witness lucrative growth over the coming years owing to rising disposable income levels and improving healthcare infrastructure coupled with an increase in consumer awareness regarding chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity that are associated with high blood sugar levels.
The European market was valued at USD X million in 2017.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing prevalence of chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal disorders
- Growing demand for over-the-counter laxatives in developed countries
- Rising awareness about the benefits of lactulose among consumers
- Technological advancements in the production of lactulose API
- Expansion of distribution channels for lactulose API
