Magnesium Ingredient Market Overview

One of the alkaline earth metals, magnesium is commonly grouped as electrolytes or minerals. Aside from its industrial applications, magnesium has experienced a lot of sales growth in recent years as a health supplement and specialist ingredient in FMCG products. Traditionally, the ingredient has been used in supplement forms to improve cardiovascular health and support the immune system and sports drinks with other electrolytes to help rehydrate. More recently, companies have been promoting magnesium for its cognitive health benefits, such as mood-improving/relaxing effects, frequently in functional beverages. Companies will also flag certain foods that are naturally high in magnesium including various fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and legumes.

The magnesium ingredients insights report identifies applications and opportunities in FMCGs for magnesium. The report also covers how magnesium is trending in FMCGs, exploring the versatility of the ingredient cross-category as well as its many health benefits and why it can be more beneficial than other popular ingredients. It concludes with the future implications for this ingredient if it becomes more mainstream.

What are the innovation opportunities for magnesium across different product categories?

The innovation opportunities for magnesium across different product categories are as follows:

Food

Foods such as cereals and milk powders for infants advertise as being high in magnesium whether it is naturally occurring or artificially added, catering to health trends.

Non-alcoholic drinks

Functional non-alcoholic drinks, including enhanced water and sports drinks, feature minerals such as magnesium to boost their health benefits and value.

Alcoholic drinks

Hard seltzers offer a good opportunity to use this ingredient to raise the product’s nutritional credentials for consumers seeking “healthier” alcoholic drinks.

Personal care

Magnesium’s high absorption properties provide a unique selling point in deodorants, while Epsom salts are prevalent in more traditional product formats.

Household Care

While not commonly used in the category, magnesium is an effective cleaning agent as well as a natural alternative to harsh chemicals.

Pet care

Magnesium is an essential mineral for most animals. Marketing it with other nutrients in pet food reassures owners to provide balanced diets for their pets.

Tobacco & e-cigarettes

Vitamin vapes have been met with skepticism in the past. However, smokers are often deficient in magnesium so vapes could find a wellness angle here.

What are the consumer trends of magnesium use in FMCGs?

The consumer trends of magnesium use in FMCGs are as follows:

Wellbeing

Consumers are becoming more aware of the interconnectivity of their mental and physical health. This is driving the need for a more holistic approach to wellness. Ingredients that can serve both cognitive and physical health are therefore highly appealing.

Vitality & Balance

Consumers face increasingly busy and complex lifestyles. This often leads to stress, fatigue, and even burnout. Products that claim to help users revitalize and relax mentally and physically appeal to these consumers to manage their concerns.

Simplicity

The need for simple products is driving a clean label approach where the product has a short ingredients list focusing on just one or two (often natural) specialist ingredients. This is attractive because it conveys a healthy product and an affordable one.

Added Functionality

Consumers place value on products that have benefits beyond their original purpose. Including mood enhancers in non-acholic beverages is an example of adding value to the product, raising its premium positioning.

Risk Aversion

Consumers are often hesitant to embrace new or unfamiliar ingredients, particularly if there is conflicting information in the media. Adhering to traditional ingredients or products offers the feeling of a safe bet because they are “tried and tested.”

The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
