Global Retinols Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various biological processes within the human body. Retinol is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications in nutrition, skincare, medicine, and more.
The downstream use of vitamins - the breeding industry's use of industrial feed has become increasingly mature. In the long term, its demand for industrialized vitamins remains relatively stable. Therefore, from a price cycle perspective, the long-term price trend of vitamins is mainly affected by supply. Judging from the past 10 years, vitamin price fluctuations have basically completed a cycle. The short-term price of vitamins is mainly affected by both demand and supply, but there are certain differences in the impact of the two on vitamin prices. Stockpiles have disrupted vitamin price benchmarks, as has been seen in recent years. At present, vitamin stocks at the breeding end and channel end have returned to normal levels, and long-term low prices have exceeded the cost lines of some companies. Demand has become the only factor suppressing vitamin prices.
The global Retinols market size is projected to reach US$ 2443.94 Million by 2029 from US$ 1835.10 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 4.31% during 2023-2029. As the breeding industry develops in the direction of scale, concentration, and comprehensiveness, the utilization rate of industrial feed continues to increase, and raw materials pay more attention to specialization. Vitamins are gradually difficult to supplement raw materials from other feeds, so the demand for industrial vitamins is gradually increasing. On the other hand, the global demand for skin care products continues to grow. As public awareness of the benefits of using retinol in cosmetics continues to increase, there is a high demand for cosmetics and beauty products.
Additionally, nutritional intake to enhance production, increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry are driving the retinol market. Processing extends artificial vitamin A into staple foods such as margarine, bread, flour, cereals and other newborn formulas. This demand is expected to drive the retinol market share. In addition to personal care and food fortification, retinol is also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Retinol-based medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and certain types of cancer. As research continues to uncover new therapeutic applications for retinol, the pharmaceutical industry's demand for this compound is likely to grow.
At the same time, the characteristics of diminishing marginal returns, high costs and harmful effects, rising consumer health risks, and more intense competition in the future will hinder the retinol market.
Segment by Type, the Retinols can be split into Synthetic Retinol, Natural Retinol. Synthetic Retinol has always dominated the market. In 2022, the Synthetic Retinol segment has occupied 95.88% of the market share. First, synthetic retinol generally costs less to produce than natural retinol, making it a more cost-effective option for manufacturers. Additionally, it is more readily available, stable and consistent in potency and purity, ensuring consumers receive consistent product quality. The natural type segment is another important type and continues to grow. Natural retinol is often considered a gentler alternative to synthetic retinoids because it is generally less irritating to the skin. However, its efficacy may vary depending on the concentration of the compound, the method of extraction, the user's skin type, and its requirements.
Segment by Form, the Retinols can be split into AC Tretinoin, Retinyl Palmitate, etc. Retinyl Palmitate dominated the market with the highest revenue share of 18.60% in 2022. Retinyl palmitate is commonly used in cosmetics and skin care products, including creams, lotions and serums. It is favored for its relatively mild nature compared to more potent retinoids like tretinoin. This makes it suitable for a wider range of consumers, including those with sensitive skin. In addition, retinyl palmitate is often found in over-the-counter skin care products, making it more readily available to consumers without a prescription. This availability contributes to its widespread use and market dominance.
By application, the Retinols can be split into Feed Additives, Food Additives, Cosmetic, Medical, Others. Currently, the Food Additives segment contributes the highest revenue. Retinol, especially in the vitamin A form, is an essential nutrient for human health. Food manufacturers often fortify their products with retinol to address vitamin A deficiencies and improve the nutritional content of foods. Consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of a balanced and nutritious diet. As a result, many consumers are actively seeking foods rich in essential vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin A derived from retinol.
On basis of geography, the Retinols market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. Asia-Pacific dominates the market, with the highest revenue share in 2022, reaching 39.68%. At the same time, the Asia-Pacific region will also expand with a CAGR of up to 6.68%. The Asia-Pacific region has experienced significant economic growth and a growing middle class. As disposable income increases, consumers in the region have greater purchasing power and are increasingly interested in skincare, health and nutrition-related products.
According to our calculations, the CR5 and HHI of the Retinols market in 2022 were 75.80% and 16.33% respectively. This means that the market is at moderate concentration, with leading manufacturers occupying the majority of the market share. At the beginning of the 21st century, a vitamin supply pattern dominated by China and Europe was basically formed. In Europe, there are three main suppliers of vitamins: DSM, BASF and Adisseo. In recent years, only BASF has expanded vitamin A production in 2021. Throughout China, there are many vitamin companies and the market competition is full. In order to maintain corporate competitiveness, domestic vitamin companies have continued to expand production in recent years, covering vitamins A, E, D3, B family and other products. Currently, the major players in the Retinols market include BASF, DSM, Zhejiang NHU, Zhejiang Medicine, Adisseo, Divi's Laboratories Limited, Kingdomway, Evonik.
