A small molecule of glycolic acid with exfoliation ability and skin healing effect is used in many cosmetics products such as anti-aging and peeling products, and cleansing products. Its characteristics also make it a good product in other industries such as food preservation, textiles, and medicines; thus it continues to drive demand. The market is further driven by product formulation innovations, increasing disposable income levels, and the growing online retailing trend.

There are two main factors prompting demand in the glycolic acid market: the increasing skin care products (which employ this potent alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA)), and rising demand from other applications markets. Glycolic acid works by exfoliating the top layer of skin, preventing dead skin cells layering on the surface, smoothing fine lines and improving overall skin health. As consumers focus more on self-care and wellness, the benefits of glycolic acid in our wellness regimen are becoming more recognized.

A key thing that is also contributing to the demand in this part of the world is an increasing preference for anti aging products, especially in countries with emerging markets, with increasing expenditure capabilities. With growing awareness about skin, use of products with glycolic acid will experience strong demand from the consumers, especially in countries of India, China and Brazil, where skin care industry is flourishing.

Besides its application in the cosmetics industry, the use of glycolic acid in the industrial sector is also driving its growth. In oil and gas industry, it is used as effective lower cost cleaning agent for refining processes by handling residual metals and other contaminants. Moreover, the increasing applications of products in textiles, food processing, and household cleaning supplies also amplifies its market opportunities.

Based on Grade & Application, the Global Glycolic Acid Market is segmented. Glycolic acid comes in 99%, 70% and 30% depending on the grade. Of these, the highest-producing glycols share of 99% purity, given its widespread personal care products (skin cream, lotion and facial peels and nails) from beauty cosmeticy. This high-purity is particularly desirable when it comes to the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as the effectiveness of the final product is a major concern.

Glycolic Acid with a purity level of 70% is commonly used in the manufacturing of these medical products in the pharmaceutical industry for surgical sutures, creams, etc. This grade is also frequently used in timed-release polymers as a way to act as components of medical implants and applications. This 30% grade (its primarily used for chemical peels) is making itself a niche in the skincare world by targeting dry skin, age spots and wrinkles.

The applications segment is led by personal care and cosmetics application, which is a major consumer of glycolic acid contributing around over one-tenth of the market revenue. This segment will stimulate market growth owing to the increasing demand for skin care products such as anti-aging, acne and skin rejuvenation products. Along with this, other sectors including food processing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and home products also add to the overall demand for glycolic acid.
