The global Hyaluronic Acid Raw Material market size is predicted to grow from US$ 543 million in 2025 to US$ 1160 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2025 to 2031.
Hyaluronic acid also called hyaluronan, is an anionic, nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. It is unique among glycosaminoglycans in that it is nonsulfated, forms in the plasma membrane instead of the Golgi apparatus, and can be very large: human synovial HA averages about 7 million Da per molecule, or about 20000 disaccharide monomers, while other sources mention 3–4 million Da. As one of the chief components of the extracellular matrix, hyaluronan contributes significantly to cell proliferation and migration, and may also be involved in the progression of some malignant tumors.
The growing demand for anti-aging and skincare products is a key driver for the hyaluronic acid market. Hyaluronic acid is widely used in cosmetics and dermatology for its moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, and skin-rejuvenating properties, making it popular among consumers seeking non-invasive solutions to improve skin texture and appearance. Additionally, the rise in aesthetic procedures such as dermal fillers, where hyaluronic acid is a primary component, further boosts market growth. Increasing awareness of skincare routines, coupled with a surge in disposable income and a growing aging population, drives demand for hyaluronic acid-based products.
One of the major challenges in the hyaluronic acid market is the high cost of advanced formulations and treatments, which can limit accessibility for some consumers. While hyaluronic acid is effective in various cosmetic and medical applications, the premium pricing of products, especially in dermal fillers and high-end skincare, may deter budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, the market faces competition from alternative ingredients and technologies, such as collagen or synthetic fillers, which offer similar benefits at potentially lower costs, adding pressure to maintain market share.
In China, In January 2021, the application of hyaluronic acid as a new food raw material was approved, it was allowed to be added to ordinary food, and the scope of use was expanded to milk and dairy products, beverages, and alcohol. , cocoa products, chocolate and chocolate products (including cocoa butter substitute chocolate and products), as well as confectionery, frozen drinks. Therefore, edible hyaluronic acid will become the next blue ocean for the development of the hyaluronic acid industry in the future.
From the perspective of product market application, it is mainly cosmetics, medicine and food. Pharmaceutical-grade raw materials have high added value, accounting for 4.41% of sales and contributing about 40.9% of sales. Due to the high process requirements, technical patents and access license barriers, the gross profit margin of pharmaceutical-grade raw materials is much higher than that of food and cosmetic grades. China is the main production area. The market share in 2020 reached 87.14%, and Japan and other countries are also very important production areas of hyaluronic acid.
