Markets read the same ingredients differently.
Volume share of voice (SOV) shifts dramatically by market for the same ingredient. Probiotics is 80% APAC. Coconut oil is 46% US. Hyaluronic acid is the most evenly distributed ingredient. Use this view to prioritise market-led innovation paths.
Verbatim distribution by market
Cross-market volume matrix
Top 10 ingredients with full geographic data. Highlighted cell is the lead market for that ingredient. Volume is post count, period Jan 26 to Mar 26.
The framework, in plain terms.
Every ingredient runs three measurements (volume, engagement, average engagement per post) across two periods. Each measurement gets a lifecycle label. Lifecycle plus tier (Nano, Micro, Emerging, Macro) plus engagement tier (Active, High, Strong, Viral) lands a quantitative decision. A qualitative tag can override one step up. Final decision is the result.
Lifecycle thresholds
Delta is the gap between QoQ growth (period 1 to 2) and YoY growth (period 0 to 2). It tells us whether momentum is accelerating, holding, or slipping.
Decision matrix
Now: Breakouts, plus accelerating Macro / Emerging. Plus high-engagement Maturing or Declining at Macro size (the audience is still listening).
Next: Accelerating Micro with viral content, Emerging at any size, Recovering or Stabilising Macro / Emerging with strong engagement.
Watch: Declining Nano with viral content, Maturing Macro at active engagement, Stabilising or Recovering at any size.
Future: Declining Micro with active engagement, anything Nano with active engagement (small but worth tracking).
Skip: Declining Nano with no engagement lift. Volume too small to matter.
Cultural anchor: ingredient sits at the centre of a viral consumer narrative, recurring DIY recipes, durable creator endorsement. Can rescue Skip up to Future.
Category bridge: already strong in skincare or supplements, language actively crossing into oral care. Can rescue Skip up to Future.
Regional signal: strong organic presence in one market's creator content, no global signal yet. Lifts Watch / Future one step but cannot rescue Skip.
A Now-call always stays Now. A qual tag never demotes an ingredient.
