Lactic Acid Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing personal care sector

Lactic acid is widely used in the personal care industry for various purposes. It is found in products like shampoos, creams, and other body care formulations. This is because lactic acid has several beneficial characteristics, including its ability to regulate pH levels, act as an antimicrobial agent, and bind moisture to the skin. Additionally, it has skin-lightening properties, promotes collagen and elastin synthesis, and aids in exfoliation and cell renewal. The global cosmetics market is expected to experience significant growth due to various factors. One of these factors is the changing lifestyle of individuals, who are increasingly conscious about enhancing their overall appearance. Moreover, with their growing GDP, countries like India, China, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka are contributing to the expansion of the cosmetics market. To boost global sales, major cosmetic manufacturers are investing in research and development and implementing new product branding and advertising strategies. Manufacturing companies are also adopting innovative strategies, such as launching new products and designing attractive packaging to increase the sales of cosmetic products. Lactic acid is often used in cosmetic formulations as a substitute for glycolic acid. It serves as a skin enhancer and helps promote youthful-looking skin. The demand for perfumes, especially in regions like the Middle East, Latin America, and West Africa, is expected to drive the growth of the cosmetics industry in the forecast period. Men's grooming products and deodorants have also played a significant role in the expansion of the cosmetics industry. The increasing disposable income and growing awareness about personal care and hygiene are expected to drive the cosmetics industry further. Additionally, the establishment of manufacturing bases by companies like Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble in the U.S. contributes to the growth of the cosmetics industry and, consequently, the demand for lactic acid. Furthermore, the rising demand for skincare, hair care, perfumes, deodorants, oral care, and makeup products is expected to fuel the demand for lactic acid in the coming years.

Driver: Growth in the pharmaceutical industry

Lactic acid serves multiple purposes in the pharmaceutical industry, including its use as a chiral intermediate, pH regulator, metal sequestration agent, and natural component of the human body. The pharmaceutical industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by advancements in science and technology. This growth is expected to continue, particularly in emerging countries like China, India, and Brazil. The increasing demand for high-quality pharmaceutical creams and medicines, coupled with the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, is predicted to drive the demand for lactic acid in the sector. In Europe, the pharmaceutical sector has been a valuable asset to several countries, emerging as a top-performing industry with advanced technology. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the lactic acid market in Europe. The recovery of the pharmaceutical industry in the United States is also anticipated to drive the lactic acid market during the forecast period. Market participants such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck KGaA and significant research and development investments in the U.S. and Mexico are likely to propel market growth. However, these market participants face intense competition from emerging economies like Brazil, India, and China. Consequently, the expanding pharmaceutical sector is projected to stimulate the demand for lactic acid in the coming years.

Restraint: Volatile raw material prices

Lactic acid is a byproduct of the fermentation process of carbohydrates like glucose, lactose, and fructose. The prices of lactic acid have been affected by the volatility in the prices of raw materials, including sugar and tapioca starch. The cultivation of these raw materials has been severely impacted by global warming and climate changes, mainly due to irregular rainfall, resulting in a decrease in overall crop yield. The effects of El Niño in the Asia Pacific region have also contributed to the irregular rainfall patterns. The fluctuation in starch prices, caused by variations in production yield, is expected to impact the prices of lactic acid. To address these challenges, lactic acid producers are striving to improve efficiency and reduce environmental waste. Companies like Cargill, Incorporated are actively developing innovative processes that require fewer raw materials, thus reducing the production of environmentally harmful byproducts. However, lactic acid prices are anticipated to increase due to rising energy costs and packaging material expenses. Additionally, the fluctuations in raw material prices are expected to affect lactic acid prices negatively. Consequently, many companies are focusing on developing processes that utilize low-priced raw materials to minimize costs.
