The market is expected to exhibit significant growth owing to increasing use of the product in the pharmaceutical industry for treatment of various skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne, and blemishes. In addition, the product is used as an ingredient during the preparation of aspirin. salicylic acid acts as an anti-inflammatory agent thus promoting its use as an ingredient in aspirin preparations.
The increasing use of derivatives of salicylic acid such as methyl salicylate and chlorine salicylate as a liniment for joint and muscle pain and for relieving pain caused by mouth ulcers is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
