Global Melanin (CAS 8049-97-6) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Melanin (CAS 8049-97-6) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Melanin is a group of natural pigments found in most organisms and a complex polymer derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Melanin provides photoprotection from Uv radiations by absorbing radiations from the electromagnetic spectrum, also effective against chemical stress and high temperature. Due to these properties, it is used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Melanin (CAS 8049-97-6) market finds that the global Melanin (CAS 8049-97-6) market reached a value of USD 13.75 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 17.96 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.55% during the forecast period.

First, the impact of the epidemic on the upstream is the increase in raw material prices and supply shortages. The second is that the epidemic affects the production and transportation of melanin production enterprises in the middle reaches. Affected by the epidemic, some areas have stopped work and production, and workers have been isolated at home. Finally, it affects the normal operation of downstream industries and affects short-term demand. In the long run, demand is expected to rise.

Drive:

The expansion of the pharmaceutical industry drives the market for melanin, which appears very early in living organisms and is known for its unique ability to absorb a wide range of radiation. It is also considered a survival strategy for many organisms living under adverse environmental conditions and plays an important role in the pharmaceutical field.
There is a huge market potential for melanin in the beauty industry, where it is used in beauty and cosmetics, especially in photoprotective creams against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, X-rays and gamma rays, and in optical lenses as an eye protectant.

Limit

The production cost of melanin is too high.
Melanin has minor side effects.

Opportunity

The traditional method of melanin production is extraction from natural organisms, but there are problems of extraction difficulty and recovery rate, and chemical synthesis methods are also expensive. With the advancement of technology, research on microbial synthesis methods has increased, and the control of melanin synthesis in different microorganisms has recently been investigated. Considering the advantages of using microorganisms to produce melanin, such as no seasonal growth restriction, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, microbial melanin is a valuable source of natural melanin, and if the cost of microbial melanin can be reduced in mass production, it will bring new opportunities to the market.

Segmentation Overview:

Synthesis
Synthetic refers to the production of melanin through chemical synthesis. In chemical synthesis, polydopamine, which shares some properties with natural melanin due to their similar functional groups such as catechol, amine and imine groups, is synthesized via oxidative polymerization of dopamine.

Natural

Natural refers to melanin produced by isolation and extraction from living things, such as animals, plants and microorganisms. The largest producers are marine cephalopods, which is expelled out by Sepia as a defense strategy against their adversaries. Plants are another source, in which the vegetable melanin are obtained by a chemically treated process, whereby a vegetable crude material-containing polymers or monomeric units of the flavonoids is processed to extract melanin. Another key source of melanin is microorganisms (bacteria and fungus).

Application Overview:

Pharmaceuticals
The biological pigment melanin is present in most of the biological systems. It manifests a host of biological and pharmacological properties such as protective, stimulatory, diagnostic and curative roles in human health. Its role as a molecule with special properties and functions affecting general health, including photoprotective and immunological action. Therefore, melanin can be used in pharmaceuticals.
Beauty Industry
Melanin can possess a broad spectrum of biological activities, which include protection against UV radiation, enzymatic lysis, damage by oxidants and resistance to drugs by pathogens. Additionally, melanin has been shown to chelate metal ions and to act as a physiological redox buffer. The use of melanin in cosmetics and sunscreens has been adopted by many manufacturers in an attempt to mimic the natural role of these molecules in the skin.

Others


With the advancement of new knowledge and technologies, melanin pigments also can be turned into valuable materials in various fields of materials science environmental remediation and so on.
