Key Highlights:
- Personal Care Ingredients: After a challenging 2023, the personal care industry is set for a recovery in 2024, with personalized beauty and longevity emerging as leading trends. AI-powered tools are revolutionizing product recommendations, while bioengineered peptides and adaptive pigments are enhancing formulations to meet individual consumer needs.
- Food & Beverages: Innovation in the food and beverage sector will focus on nutrition optimization, clean-label products, and GLP-1-targeted offerings. The rise of plant-based foods continues, despite reformulation challenges, and new weight-loss products are being designed for GLP-1 medication users.
- Nutraceuticals: The nutraceuticals market is expected to grow, driven by functional formats, science-backed ingredients, and the emerging longevity trend. Functional beverages remain the fastest-growing segment, reflecting consumer demand for novel and convenient formats.
- Vegan Capsules: The supplements industry is witnessing a significant shift towards vegan and natural ingredients in capsule production. This trend is driven by consumer preferences for plant-based options that align with vegetarian, vegan, non-GMO, Kosher, and Halal diets.
- Polymeric Emulsions: In the industrial sector, polymeric emulsions are gaining traction in urban coatings due to their performance and sustainability. These emulsions are crucial for addressing infrastructural and environmental challenges, such as the urban heat island effect.
- Bioplastics: The growth of bioplastics will be driven by price moderation and economies of scale. Investments in bioplastic production are expected to continue, particularly in the APAC region, as companies overcome commercial-scale bottlenecks.
- AI and Machine Learning in Medical Devices: Advances in AI and machine learning will optimize biomaterial designs tailored to individual patient needs. Wearable and implantable electronics using biomaterials are emerging trends, integrating flexible, biocompatible materials with advanced electronic functionalities.
- Biological Crop Protection: The adoption of biological crop protection is expected to grow, driven by demand for sustainable farming and reduced pesticide residues. Biopesticides, biostimulants, and other biological solutions are increasingly used to protect crops while minimizing environmental impact.
