Oats Market Drivers and Opportunities

Surging Demand for Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Globally Bolsters Oats Market Growth

Oats (Avena sativa) are high in several dietary fiber components, such as mixed-linkage (1→3), (1→4)-β-D-glucan arabinoxylans, and cellulose. The polysaccharide-glucan neutral cell wall has exceptional functional and nutritional qualities. It achieves high viscosities at relatively low concentrations and is especially important in human nutrition. Soluble oat fiber lower high blood cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose levels. In addition, oats contain a lot of fat, are high in oleic and linoleic acids, and contain vitamins B1, B2, and B6 and A, K, and E. They also include beneficial minerals, vitamins, sterols, and antioxidants. The fatty acid content of oats is more beneficial than other cereals. Oats have 1%–3% higher crude protein than barley or maize. Furthermore, oats provide one of the richest dietary soluble fiber beta-glucan sources, providing 5.0 g (oatmeal) to 7.2 g (oat bran) per 100 g serving. Both are high in dietary fiber, ranging from 9.9 to 14.9 g per 100 g serving. Oats also have a higher lipid content (5-9%) than other cereal crops and are high in unsaturated fats, particularly the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. They have avenanthramides, which are unique antioxidants. They also contain tocotrienols and tocopherols, vitamin E-like substances.

Growing Demand for Oats in Personal Care Industry

Food-derived components in personal care products also give the skin a sense of health and nutrition. Oats have always been thought of as nutritious food, but their popularity has surged in recent years due to the inclusion of novel products and growing recognition as an element with low allergenic potential but high, proven therapeutic benefit. Moreover, since Roman times, oats have been used to soothe and restore the skin and reduce inflammation and redness. Natural oat extracts are a novel source of oat-based cosmetic raw materials with known active components, such as avenanthramides, proteins, and beta-glucans. At low concentrations, avenanthramides have been proven to reduce histamine release. At the same time, oat beta-glucans increase pro-collagen synthesis, plumping the skin, reducing wrinkles, and restoring the skin's natural moisture barrier. In addition, other oat components, such as oat oil and hydrolyzed oat protein, have specific cosmeceutical benefits, making oats useful in cosmetics in various ways.
