Posted by Pramod Arya on April 4th, 2023

The amazing anti-aging chemical glycolic acid seems to do everything. It works wonders to exfoliate the face, diminish fine wrinkles, prevent acne, lighten dark spots, thicken the skin, and level out texture of the skin.
Glycolic acid is a key component in skin care products but is also widely utilized in the electronics, oil and gas, and dyeing and tanning sectors. Boiler cleaners, concrete removers, and dairy farm tank cleaners have all made use of it. This is due to its primary traits, which include its small size, affinity for chelating calcium, powerful acidic property, and natural biodegradability.

The glycolic acid market in APAC is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 8.1% in the coming years. This can be due to the region's rapidly increasing need for cosmetics. The growing number of working women, a change in their lifestyle, and a rise in self-awareness are all contributing to an increase in the need for personal care products. Additionally, professional women view skincare products as a need that gives them self-assurance in their looks. The majority of cosmetic users are women between the ages of 20 and 40.

In addition, China currently consumes the most glycolic acid in APAC and is predicted to grow at an 8.3% CAGR over the next several years. After the U. S., China is thought to have the second-largest glycolic acid market worldwide. Furthermore, consumers are buying quality skincare and hair products to appear decent during business meetings because they want to protect their skin from dirt and pollution.

Moreover, demand for 99% glycolic acid will increase at an 8.1% CAGR in this decade. This may be due to its many uses, including day creams, skin lightening creams, and skin peels, which assist to decrease wrinkles and fine lines, stimulate the production of skin cells to revive sun-damaged skin, and improve skin tone.

Glycolic acid is produced naturally from fruits, and this organic substance aids in adhering to cosmetic standards. Additionally, social media marketing, which enables direct consumer targeting and personal interaction with both current and new customers, is driving glycolic acid market expansion.

According to the data, in the past, the personal care & cosmetics segment held the biggest share in the glycolic acid market, at 58.2% in the past years. This is because of the various application of glycolic acid in cosmetics and skincare products such as moisturizers, anti-aging creams, toners, wrinkle-removal treatments, and other hair care items.
