Hyaluronic Acid API Market Size is valued at USD 501.85 Mn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 1,392.64 Mn by the year 2031 at a 13.77% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Hyaluronic acid, when used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), is highly esteemed for its adaptability and effectiveness in addressing various conditions that necessitate lubrication and moisture preservation. This applies to both internal applications in joints and external applications on the skin and tissues. The biocompatibility and limited adverse effects of this substance continue to fuel its increasing use in novel therapeutic and cosmetic preparations. As a result of rising incomes and better healthcare infrastructure, hyaluronic acid API products are reaching more people in developing markets. The world’s aging population is expanding at a rapid pace. The body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid declines with age, causing wrinkles to appear and skin to lose its flexibility. Hyaluronic acid active pharmaceutical ingredient demand has skyrocketed due to the increasing popularity of skin care products and dermal fillers formulated with hyaluronic acid to stave off the appearance of aging for as long as possible.
However, market growth is hampered by the expensive hyaluronic acid API production costs and the availability of alternative medicine. Additionally, hyaluronic acid API market potential may arise as a result of healthcare amenity price increases. In addition, modern biotechnological developments have reduced production costs and increased the efficiency of hyaluronic acid synthesis. More and more people are learning about the importance of skincare and its advantages, which has boosted the demand for the hyaluronic acid API market.
The hyaluronic acid API market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, the market is segmented into animal tissue and microbial fermentation. As per the application segment, the market is segmented into cosmetics, medical and food.
The animal tissue hyaluronic acid API market is expected to lead with a major global market share in 2023 because of its efficacy and great biocompatibility. Animal tissue-derived hyaluronic acid, primarily from rooster combs and bovine vitreous humor, has a molecular structure that is very similar to naturally occurring human hyaluronic acid. This is very important for uses that require biocompatibility, like lip fillers, eye surgeries, and treatments to smooth out joints. Treatments are more effective, and side effects are less likely due to the resemblance, which helps reduce the body’s immune response factor, fueling the market’s expansion.
The cosmetics segment is growing rapidly because of its remarkable moisturizing characteristics, which aid in maintaining skin hydration and provide a full, young look. Hyaluronic acid is highly prized in the cosmetics business. An expanding number of cosmetics, including serums, moisturizers, foundations, and lip treatments, contain hyaluronic acid API as a key ingredient to combat the signs of aging and promote healthy skin. The market for cosmetics based on hyaluronic acid API has been further boosted by the growing awareness of the benefits of using clean, scientifically-backed skincare components.
The North American hyaluronic acid API market is expected to record the maximum market revenue share in the near future. Due to a rising focus on skincare and anti-aging products and a large concentration of well-known cosmetics and pharmaceutical brands. In addition, Europe is estimated to grow rapidly in the global hyaluronic acid API market because the availability of high-quality hyaluronic acid API is assured by the region’s strong regulatory framework for product approvals and safety regulations, an increase in the presence of key market competitors, and the rising cost of healthcare in the area.
