The global market for glycolic acid is expected
to reach USD 277.8 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View
Research, Inc. Glycolic acid is being increasingly used as an active ingredient
in personal care products such as haircare and skincare. The growing consumer
awareness regarding the benefits of glycolic acid as an anti oxidizing and
exfoliating product is expected to fuel demand over the forecast period. In
addition, glycolic acid is used in the manufacturing of polyglycolic acid
(PGA), used for the manufacturing of absorbable sutures for healthcare
applications. Growing standard of healthcare in emerging economies is expected
to result in increased demand for these sutures which in turn would boost the
demand for glycolic acid.
Personal care products were the largest
application segment accounting for over 30,000 tons of glycolic acid
consumption in 2013. Exfoliation and anti-ageing properties of glycolic acid
make them ideally suited for use in haircare and skincare products. Growing
disposable income and changing lifestyle are expected to play a key role in
augmenting demand for glycolic acid based personal care products.
