Menthol: An Overview Of Application, Market Share And Change

Menthol is a common flavor and pharmaceutical ingredient that has a cool, refreshing taste and soothing, calming effects. It is widely used in food, beverage, cosmetics, medicine and other fields.

Menthol has many isomers, mainly L-menthol and D-menthol. The menthol on the market is mainly L-menthol, because it has a cool, refreshing taste and soothing, sedative effect. Although DL-menthol also has some application value, but because of the high sweetness, the cooling feeling is less obvious than L-menthol, so it is relatively less used in the market.Of course, different products and industries have different purity and proportional requirements for menthol and may use different types of menthol. For example, some oral cleaners may require higher purity and more DL-menthol to achieve better cleaning results.

The global menthol market is widely distributed, mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States and Asia. China is one of the world's largest producers of menthol, accounting for nearly 50% of total global production. The global menthol market is expected to reach more than $1 billion by 2025, according to market research institutions. Among them, the market demand in Asia has increased the most rapidly, mainly due to the pursuit of a healthy life and the increased demand for natural food in the region. In addition, the market demand in Europe and the United States is also gradually expanding, mainly due to the increased demand for high-quality products in the region.

In recent years, with the continuous progress of science and technology and people's pursuit of a healthy life, the application field of menthol is also expanding. For example, in the medical field, menthol can be used to make oral detergent, cough syrup and other drugs, and in the food field, menthol can be used to make chewing gum, drinks and other products. In addition, some companies are exploring the possibility of applying menthol in new materials, new energy and other fields.
