Transparency Market Research
Transparency Market Research published new market report "Glycolic Acid Market for
Personal Care, Household Cleaning, Industrial and Other Applications - Global
Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the
global demand for glycolic acid was valued at USD 93.30 million in 2011 and is expected to
reach USD 203.34 million in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 11.8% from 2012 to 2018. In
terms of volume, the demand was 40.0 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to reach 78.1 kilo
tons in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2012 to 2018.
Glycolic acid is extensively used in a wide range of personal care products such as face
lotions, moisturizers and face peels. Rising consumer awareness regarding healthy skin and
hair is expected to boost the demand for glycolic acid based skincare and haircare products.
Furthermore, growing use of glycolic acid in the manufacturing of polyglycolic acid (PGA),
which is used in absorbable medical sutures, is expected to fuel the growth of the market
over the next few years. However, inhibitions regarding the hazardous nature of
concentrated glycolic acid coupled with the growth of alternate products such as salicylic are
expected to hamper the growth of the market.
