The global Alpha Hydroxy Acid Market is expected to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030. Alpha hydroxy acid demand has increased globally due to the effects of global warming on the market for skincare goods such as sunscreen lotions, creams, serums, and others. Furthermore, the demand for AHA products is primarily driven by the prevention of early aging symptoms, increased production of elastin and collagen, and enhanced blood circulation.

Market Overview

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a class of acids originating from both plants and animals and are present in many cosmetic products. These consist of regular anti-aging items like serums, toners, and lotions and treatments like chemical peels. AHA usually supports the peeling of the skin surface so that new skin cells are generated. It is noticed that after its usage skin is even toned and smoother than before. AHA-containing products are marketed for several benefits, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles, enhancing skin tone and texture, unclogging pores, and boosting skin health. AHAs can also be used in cosmetics to change the pH, for example (the degree of acidity or alkalinity). The FDA has evaluated data indicating that topically applied cosmetics using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) as components may make skin more sensitive to sunlight while being used. After the usage is stopped, it may increase skin sensitivity to the sun, thus increasing the probability of sunburn. Thus, the rise in consciousness about the expected side effects, including skin sensitivity, burning, irritation, and redness, can hinder the market growth. Although the demand for personal care goods has increased due to new product developments and technical improvements such as social commerce, digital diagnostics, and E-makeup; as a result, it is anticipated that the alpha-hydroxy acid market share will increase throughout the forecast period. The optimistic outlook for the cosmetics, fragrance, haircare and skincare sectors has fueled demand for alpha hydroxy acid. AHA prevents hair fall by generating lubricant in hair, which helps in detangling hair while protecting hair from heat and other tools. Demand for AHA products is primarily driven by the prevention of early aging symptoms, increased production of elastin and collagen, and enhanced blood circulation. Skin problems are caused by rising pollution levels and bad eating habits, which is anticipated to increase cosmetic usage and reflect well on the market's expansion. Alpha hydroxy acid demand has increased globally due to the effects of global warming on the market for skincare goods such as sunscreen lotions, creams, serums, and others.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the lactic acid segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 26.8% and market revenue of 0.3 billion.

Based on the Product, the alpha hydroxy acid market is categorized into glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and Others. In 2021, the lactic acid segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 26.8% and market revenue of 0.3 billion. The lactic acid segment is likely to account for the highest revenue in the market due to its accessibility and tendency to be sold at a lower price than other acids. The skin is penetrated by lactic acid, which whisks away the dry, dead skin. Decreasing wrinkles, enhances the texture and tone of the skin, making it appear younger. Since ancient times, it has been utilized in skincare and cosmetic treatments and is largely present in milk. The glycolic segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR due to the growing demand for over-the-counter skin care products. The market is expected to continue to grow by rising demand for glycolic acid in the cosmetic sector and personal care products, particularly as a favored ingredient in anti-aging, anti-pollution, and over-the-counter skin care products. Due to its small molecular structure and unparalleled capacity to quickly and efficiently penetrate the skin, it fights many of the harmful impacts of pollution and other anti-ageing issues by washing and exfoliating the dead skin layers. Glycolic acid lowers acne breakouts, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, scars, and other age-related skin blemishes or spots in anti-ageing and anti-pollution skincare lotions, facial cleansers, gels, and scrubs.
