Thus, there is increase in the number of individuals suffering from several health disorders. Thus, increasing number of patients is expected to boost the overall growth of the pharmaceutical which in turn will boost the demand for lauric acid. Lauric acid being extremely inexpensive and easily available is widely used in several research laboratories to conduct intensive researches related to the investigations of melting-point depression. Lauric acid is also used as cryoscopic constant in many experiments. Lauric acid has very low toxicity and hence, is widely used in manufacturing a range of shampoos and soaps. Lauric acid is also used for its anti-acne. Thus, increasing cosmetic and health care industry is expected to boost the overall demand for lauric acid.
