Increasing use of hyaluronic acid in cosmetic and personal care products, as well as an increase in the number of cosmetic surgeries. Hyaluronic acid is well known for its skin benefits such as reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, redness, and dermatitis. Hyaluronic acid aids in the retention of over 1,000 times its weight in water within skin cells, making it an excellent moisturiser. It promotes skin hydration and collagen production, combats free radicals, and maintains skin elasticity. It also functions as a humectant, a hygroscopic skincare ingredient that draws moisture from its surroundings. With consumer demand for anti-aging and multifunctional personal care products increasing, personal care product manufacturers are incorporating multi-functional and multiple ingredients into their products.
Segment Overview
The hyaluronic acid market is segmented based on grades, applications, end-users, and regions. The cosmetic grade segment accounted for the majority of the market revenue in 2021, due to its high demand as a cosmetic ingredient in personal care products. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical grade segment is the fastest-growing due to its use in treating various diseases and as a biomaterial. In terms of applications, the aesthetics segment dominated the market in 2021 due to consumer demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. In terms of end-users, dermatology clinics held the largest market share in 2021 due to the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers in skin treatments. North America had the largest market share in 2021, due to the presence of a large aging population and the growing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic surgeries.
Europe has the second-largest market share for hyaluronic acid due to rising aesthetic consciousness, rapid technological advancements, and shorter procedure times, among other factors driving the market in Europe. Furthermore, the German hyaluronic acid market held the largest market share, while the UK hyaluronic acid market was the fastest growing in the European region.
In the coming years, it is expected that the market for hyaluronic acid in the Asia-Pacific region will grow rapidly due to several factors such as growing unmet medical needs in developing economies, heightened knowledge of non-invasive procedures, and rising disposable income. Among the countries in the region, the China hyaluronic acid market currently holds the largest share, while the India hyaluronic acid market is growing at a rapid pace.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global Hyaluronic Acid market. The initial spread of the virus caused many countries to impose lockdowns and restrictions on non-essential procedures, resulting in a slowdown in the demand for Hyaluronic Acid. This was particularly true in the cosmetic and aesthetic industry, where the use of Hyaluronic Acid is common. The halt of routine medical procedures and decreased consumer spending also contributed to a decrease in demand for Hyaluronic Acid.
However, as the pandemic has continued, the market has seen a gradual recovery as countries have started to lift restrictions and return to normal operations. In addition, the increased awareness of personal health and hygiene, as well as the need for medical procedures to treat the long-term effects of the virus, has led to a resurgence in demand for Hyaluronic Acid.
