How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the polyacrylic acid market?
The growing demand for personal care products is expected to propel the growth of the polyacrylic acid market going forward. Personal care products refer to a broad category of personal hygiene, grooming, and beauty items, including skincare, haircare, oral care, and cosmetics. The growing demand for personal care products is driven by increasing consumer awareness of hygiene, self-care, grooming, and evolving beauty trends. Polyacrylic acid is used in personal care products for its thickening, emulsifying, and moisture-retention properties, enhancing the texture and stability of formulations such as lotions, gels, and creams. For instance, in 2023, according to the Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association (CTPA), a UK-based trade association representing the cosmetic and personal care industry, in 2022, the color cosmetics sector sold 118,178 units, which increased to 123,056 units in 2023, reflecting a growth of approximately 4.1%. Similarly, the skincare sector experienced a rise from 456,401 units sold in 2022 to 460,868 units in 2023, marking an increase of around 1.0%. Therefore, the growing demand for personal care products will drive the growth of the polyacrylic acid market.

How will industry trends affect the trajectory of the polyacrylic acid market?
Major companies operating in the polyacrylic acid market are focusing on high-performance additives, such as modified polymers, to enhance product performance and improve formulation stability. Modified polymers are polymers that have been chemically or physically altered to enhance their properties, such as strength, flexibility, or thermal stability, for enhanced performance in specific applications. For instance, in August 2023, Lubrizol Life Science Beauty, a division of The Lubrizol Corporation, a US-based personal care and beauty solutions provider, launched Carbopol SC-800 polymer, which is related to polyacrylic acid. It is specifically a hydrophobically modified cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer. It has a highly efficient thickening and stabilizing solution for mild, sulfate-free cleansers such as shower gels, shampoos, and facial cleansers. It offers superior clarity, thickening efficiency, and suspension properties compared to other polymers. It provides formulators with the flexibility to enhance skin cleansing formulations. Additionally, foam generation studies confirm that the polymer maintains foam volume and quality, ensuring the desired lather in rinse-off beauty products without compromising performance.
