Global P-hydroxybenzoic Acid Market Growth 2025-2031

The global P-hydroxybenzoic Acid market size is predicted to grow from US$ 113 million in 2025 to US$ 141 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025 to 2031.

P-hydroxybenzoic acid, also called 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, is white powdery crystal. It is widely used in the production of preservative for cosmetic and pharmaceuticals. Also, it is the raw materials of liquid crystal polymer.

One of the largest uses of p-hydroxybenzoic acid is in the production of liquid crystal polymers (LCPs), which are used in high-performance materials for electronics, automotive components, and other precision equipment. The electronics industry, driven by the rapid growth of smartphones, laptops, and other advanced devices, has significantly increased the demand for LCPs due to their excellent thermal stability, high strength, and electrical insulation properties. As LCPs are increasingly used in miniaturized components for 5G networks, automotive electronics, and other advanced technologies, the demand for p-hydroxybenzoic acid as a key raw material is expected to grow in tandem.

In addition, p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, particularly parabens, are widely used as preservatives in personal care and cosmetics products, such as lotions, shampoos, creams, and makeup. With the increasing global demand for cosmetics and personal care products, particularly in emerging markets like Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, p-hydroxybenzoic acid's role in ensuring product safety and shelf stability has become more critical. As the beauty and personal care industry continues to grow, especially with the rise of online retail and consumer interest in long-lasting products, p-hydroxybenzoic acid demand is expected to remain strong.

Currently, global production of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is highly concentrated as there are only a few manufacturers engaged in the industry. The largest manufacturer is Zhejiang Shengxiao. The top three manufacturers own more than 60% sales market share globally.
