The personal care ingredients market size is projected to reach USD 14.9 billion by 2027 from USD 11.8 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 4.0%. The demand for personal care ingredients is attributed to increasing demand for ingredients such as anti-aging agents, exfoliators, ultraviolet (UV) agents, moisturizers, antioxidants, and antimicrobials. However, stringent governmental regulations on the use of synthetic personal care ingredients in Japan, China, the US, and European countries are restricting its growth in the personal care ingredients market. On the other hand, the increased demand for cosmetics from emerging economies of the world has created opportunities for manufacturers.
BASF SE (Germany), Dow (US), and Solvay (Belgium) are the major players in this market.
