The global hyaluronic acid raw material market size reached USD 7.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during 2025-2033.
Hyaluronic acid raw materials are the substances used for the manufacturing of the natural compound. The acid is naturally present in the eyes, hair, joints, nerves, cartilages and extracellular matrix in the skin. It can also be synthesized by fermenting wheat peptones, sugar and certain bacteria. These ingredients aid in supporting the functioning of the connective tissues and promoting collagen binding by building up the proteins and regulating water concentration in the skin. The topical application of the acid can assist in the regeneration of the skin and reduce inflammation. As a result, it finds extensive applications in the manufacturing of cosmetics, drug delivery systems, pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements.
Significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry across the globe is of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Hyaluronic acid acts as a viscoelastic and anti-surgical adhesion agent, which is widely used in ophthalmic, dermatological and orthopedic procedures as a mechanical barrier for tissue adherence. Moreover, the increasing demand for anti-wrinkle and anti-aging creams and solutions among the masses for cosmetic enhancements is providing a thrust to the market growth. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of innovative solutions for targeted drug delivery and regenerative medicines, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Healthcare providers are extensively using hyaluronic acid injections to provide lubrication, reduce inflammation and promote cartilage and bone growth in the joint. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined along with the profiles of the key players being AbbVie Inc., Anika Therapeutics Inc., Contipro a.s., Galderma S.A., LG Chem Ltd., Lifecore Biomedical LLC (Landec Corporation), Sanofi S.A., Seikagaku Corporation, Smith & Nephew plc and Zimmer Biomet.
