Lanolin Market Analysis
The Lanolin Market size is expected to grow from USD 298.53 million in 2023 to USD 453.97 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.74% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted manufacturing activities, and the supply chain halted production, and resulted in labor unavailability, thus negatively impacting the market. However, the conditions started recovering in 2021, thus restoring the growth trajectory of the market.
- Over the short term, the increasing demand for skin care cosmetics and the growing usage of lanolin for pharmaceutical products will likely drive the market.
- Side effects and replacing lanolin with other substitutes are expected to hinder the market's growth.
- The growing number of industrial applications of lanolin coupled with the increasing demand for bio-based alternatives to regulate the dependence on conventional petrochemical-based lubricants is expected to create new growth opportunities during the forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific dominated the lanolin market worldwide, with the largest consumption coming from India, China, etc.
Lanolin Market Trends
Growing Demand from the Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry
- Lanolin oil is an emollient relieving dry or dehydrated skin. Lanolin can cut water loss through the skin by up to 30%. Lanolin is extremely hydrating and softens skin, which helps to improve the appearance and feel of rough, dry, or flaky areas.
- It includes the unique property of absorbing twice its weight of water. It also contains physical properties, such as increasing adhesion to dry skin and forming protective films on the skin and lips.
- Formulations made of lanolin mixtures are used as body creams and lotions to lock in moisture, prevent water loss, and act as lubricants on the skin's surface, giving the skin a smooth appearance.
- Lanolin is also used in various hair products, such as hair removal creams, hair conditioners, hair sprays, and pet shampoos.
- Hair textures vary from person to person, and so do hair- and scalp-related issues. Some people may include damaged or dry hair, while others deal with breakage and hair fall problems.
- According to Loreal, the demand for cosmetics witnessed a y-o-y growth of 6% in 2022. The global cosmetics industry generated over USD 560 billion in annual revenue in 2022.
- For instance, According to the survey conducted by OnePoll, women in the United States spend an average of USD 3,756 per year on beauty products and services. Prestige beauty products grew more in the y-o-y demand than other categories in 2022.
- According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the retail trade revenue of cosmetics in the country accounted for CNY 393.6 billion (~USD 55.36 billion ) in 2022, compared to CNY 340 billion (~USD 47.82 billion) in 2020. The revenue will likely rise in the coming years, owing to the rising trend of using lanolin in skincare and beauty products.
- Therefore, owing to the abovementioned properties, the demand for lanolin is expected to grow from the cosmetic and personal care segment in the coming years.
Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the overall market due to the highly developed cosmetics sector in China, India, Japan, and South Korea, coupled with continuous investments in the region to advance the pharmaceutical sector through the years.
- Asia-Pacific accounted for over 35% of the global cosmetics market in 2022. According to China's National Bureau of Statistics, the country's cosmetic sales amounted to USD 58.16 billion alone in 2022. Asia-Pacific's leading cosmetics markets include Japan, South Korea, and India.
- The growing temperature issues in Asia-Pacific, with most of the population living with various skin diseases, and the increased need for medical attention are increasing the demand for lanolin in several applications.
- According to Cosmetics Design (Europe), the demand for premium skin and hair care products in Asia-Pacific is higher compared to previous years. The demand for products like cleansers, moisturizers, balms, shampoos, conditioners, and dyes increased, witnessing decent growth in recent years. Companies like Loreal, Kering Group, and other key regional players announced an expansion of their regional cosmetic product lines during the forecast period.
- In 2022, the public expenditure on health care and hygiene in China stood at CNY 2,254.2 billion (~USD 317.05 billion). China's medical and therapeutical market witnessed strong growth due to a growing number of hospitals and the increasing demand for medical assistance.
- According to the Government of India, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is expected to reach USD 130 billion by 2030. India already provided pharmaceutical products to more than 200 countries, and this may continue in the future.
- Thus, the abovementioned factors will likely increase the demand for lanolin in the region during the forecast period.
