Ketones Global Market Report 2026

Ketones are a class of organic compounds characterized by a carbonyl group, wherein a carbon atom is covalently bonded to oxygen atoms, and the remaining two bonds connect with hydrocarbon radicals. They are present in various sugars and medical compounds, including both natural and synthetic steroid hormones.

The primary classifications of ketones encompass ketone salts, ketone esters, ketone oil, and raspberry ketone. Ketone salts are exogenous ketone bodies bound to minerals such as calcium, sodium, or magnesium, used as dietary supplements to promote weight loss by encouraging the body to utilize fats for energy. Ketones are available in major forms such as liquid, solid, and semi-liquid, distributed through both direct and indirect channels. They find application in diverse sectors such as cosmetics and personal care, food and beverages, dietary supplements, among others.
