Market Overview

The research report highlights the growth potential of the global Sn-2 Palmitate market. Sn-2 Palmitate is expected to show stable growth in the future market. However, product differentiation, reducing costs, and supply chain optimisation remain crucial for the widespread adoption of Sn-2 Palmitate. Market players need to invest in research and development, forge strategic partnerships, and align their offerings with evolving consumer preferences to capitalise on the immense opportunities presented by the Sn-2 Palmitate market.

The palmitic acid in human milk is positioned in a unique way to the second (middle) position of the glycerol backbone also known as the sn-2 position (figure 2). In human milk, approximately 70-75% of the palmitic acids are esterified to the sn2 position of the triglyceride (sn2 palmitate). In contrast, vegetable oils only have about 8-10% of their palmitic acid attached to sn2. This special preferential positioning is even more significant knowing that it is conserved in all women, regardless of their ethnic origin or nutrition. That's Sn-2 Palmitate.
