According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Glycolic Acid Market is accounted for $611.35 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $1,042.34 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs), of which sugarcane, pineapple, unripe grapes, etc. are the main sources, are a class of active substances that includes glycolic acid. The smallest molecules in the category belong to glycolic acid, which makes it easy and rapid to penetrate human skin. Because of this, it is frequently used in cosmetic formulas and is particularly successful in treating skin.
According to the L’OREAL Annual Report 2021, the beauty sector of L’OREAL rose by 8.2% in the year 2021, after a sharp decline of 8% in 2020. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the personal care sector in India is projected to reach US$20 billion by 2025. According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), the total pharmaceutical market value for EU member nations at ex-factory prices increased from US$147,686 in 2019 to US$253,027 in 2020.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising demand for glycolic acid in cosmetics industry
The market will be driven by the rising demand for glycolic acid in the personal care and cosmetic industries, particularly as a favoured ingredient in anti-aging, anti-pollution, and over-the-counter skin care products. Due to its small molecular structure and unparalleled capacity to quickly and efficiently penetrate the skin, it fights many of the harmful impacts of pollution and other anti-aging issues by washing and exfoliating the dead skin layers. Glycolic acid lowers acne breakouts, hyper-pigmentation, fine lines, scars, and other age-related skin blemishes or spots in anti-aging and anti-pollution skincare lotions, facial cleansers, gels, and scrubs.
Restraint:
Glycolic acid-based cosmetic products cause skin problems
An alpha hydroxyl acid with a water base, glycolic acid is most frequently employed as a chemical component in the creation of various cosmetic and personal care products. Glycolic acid is a prominent ingredient for skincare and hair care products due to its organic nature and high exfoliating capability. Skin injury, however, might be a significant hindrance to market expansion. It is normally advised to apply glycolic acid sparingly and in the proper amounts, as doing otherwise might result in serious skin damage and other issues. Consequently, the manufacturer must pay attention to the solution's concentration when employing the glycolic acid solution as an ingredient in cosmetic items.
Opportunity:
Growing demand for biodegradable polymers
Biodegradable polymers are employed to give the body short-term support that can break down in a finite amount of time. The most prevalent biodegradable polymer utilised in the medical sector is polyglycolic acid, which is created by ring polymerizing glycolide, a diester of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid producers will have a lot of chances due to the anticipated enormous demand for polyglycolic acid-based biodegradable polymers, particularly in resorbable sutures, surgical fixation devices, and drug delivery devices. Because to their growing use in surgical operations involving the neurological system, respiratory system, and circulatory system, resorbable polymer sutures are expected to be in high demand.
Threat:
Stringent regulations regarding usage of glycolic acid
One of the most strictly controlled businesses involves the production of glycolic acid. Manufacturers of glycolic acid-based products face a significant problem in adhering to the various regulations surrounding the use of glycolic acid in various applications. For instance, glycolic acid needs to be registered with the US Food & Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) in order to be used in cosmetic and personal care products. Consequently, the synthesis of glycolic acid takes longer due to the need to comply with all of these criteria. Both the producers and consumers of glycolic acid face significant difficulties as a result of this feature.
Covid-19 Impact
Many skin care products are prepared using hydroxyacetic acid. Since corona viruses affect the respiratory system, their use may be restricted during the COVID pandemic due to the high dangers associated with cosmetic goods if inhaled. Yet, the lockdown imposed as a result of the epidemic has led to a fall in the cosmetics sector. Due to a workforce scarcity and required social segregation, cosmetic firms have closed their production facilities. Also, in light of the COVID 19 epidemic, cosmetic producers are expanding their array of commercial personal care products. These elements have had a detrimental effect on this market and have constrained its expansion.
The cosmetic grade segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The cosmetic grade segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to outstanding qualities including anti-aging, high purity, transparency, exfoliation, advantages over hyper pigmentation, and others. Moreover, glycolic acid's fast use in high-end cosmetics, skin care products, and other products is boosting its rise. The demand for cosmetic grades is therefore increasing due to its improved benefits and widespread use in the personal care industry. As a result, the cosmetic grade segment is anticipated to expand quickly throughout the forecast period.
The personal care & cosmetics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The personal care & cosmetics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its ability to improve and repair skin as well as its anti-aging capabilities, hydroxyacetic acid is mostly utilised as a significant ingredient in the manufacture of anti-aging creams, lipsticks, shampoo, hair treatment sprays, moisturisers, cleanser, scrub, scent, and body wash products. In turn, rising demand for these goods from the cosmetics industry will raise demand for hydroxyacetic acid, which will aid the market's growth rate even more.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising per capita spending on cosmetics and the enormous demand for high-quality, cutting-edge skincare and hair care products. Glycolic acid is widely used in anti-aging products as a result of the rising elderly population in China, Japan, South Korea, and other nations, which will have a favourable effect on the market.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the textile industry's increasing demand. High-quality materials are needed by the region's major fashion industry in order to create various ensembles. In order to do this, businesses are developing novel products by utilising cutting-edge technology, which is anticipated to promote market growth in the area.
