Astringents Market Report 2025

The astringents market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.42 billion in 2024 to $3.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise in demand for natural and organic products, the expansion of the beauty and personal care industry, the increased adoption of face toners, the expansion of distribution channels, and the influence of social media and influencers.

The astringents market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing consumer awareness of skin health, increasing skin disorders and problems, rising interest in DIY skincare, rising demand for personalized skincare, and increasing urbanization and lifestyle changes. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in production, polyphenol-enriched formulations, product diversification, alcohol-free formulations, technological innovation in astringent formulations, and cross-industry collaborations.

The forecast of 4.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. dermatology clinics by driving up costs of aluminum chloride and tannic acid products sourced from Germany and China, exacerbating hyperhidrosis treatment expenses and increasing wound care management burdens. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing demand for skincare and personal care products is expected to drive the growth of the astringents market in the coming years. Skincare and personal care products encompass a wide range of items used to cleanse, protect, and improve the appearance and health of the skin, hair, and body. This demand is rising as consumers place greater importance on self-care and personal appearance, leading to heightened interest in products that promote healthier skin and overall wellness. Astringents play a key role in skincare and personal care by tightening the skin, reducing oiliness, and minimizing pore visibility, making them particularly useful for people with oily or acne-prone skin. For example, in August 2024, the British Beauty Council, a UK-based nonprofit organization, reported that in 2023, the personal care industry contributed nearly half of its total gross domestic product (GDP) impact, amounting to 13.5 billion British pounds (GBP), which equals 0.5% of the United Kingdom’s total GDP, out of a total industry contribution of 17.1 billion US dollars. Consequently, the rising demand for skincare and personal care products is fueling the growth of the astringents market.

Leading companies in the astringents market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as plant-based skincare formulations, to cater to the increasing consumer preference for natural, gentle, and environmentally friendly products. Plant-based skincare formulations utilize natural ingredients derived from plants, including herbs, oils, and botanical extracts, to gently nourish and treat the skin without the use of synthetic chemicals. For instance, in September 2022, Green Goo, a U.S.-based manufacturer and supplier of body care products, launched its Plants for Your Face & Body skincare line, which consists of all-natural, plant-based products aimed at addressing skin issues like acne, eczema, sun damage, wrinkles, and dryness. Using a proprietary lipid infusion process, these products combine healing herbs and whole-plant botanicals with organic oils to enhance nourishment and effectiveness. The collection features hydrating serums, eye sticks, and spot treatments, many of which include natural astringent ingredients such as juniper and witch hazel that help tighten pores and reduce inflammation.

In August 2023, L'Oréal S.A., a France-based personal care company, acquired Aesop for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, L'Oréal seeks to broaden its luxury beauty portfolio and accelerate growth by leveraging Aesop’s strong foothold and expertise in rapidly expanding markets, particularly in China and the Asia-Pacific region. This move also reinforces L'Oréal’s commitment to sustainability and its focus on the premium natural skincare segment. Aesop is an Australia-based luxury cosmetics brand specializing in skincare, haircare, and fragrance products, including astringents.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment - many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.

Astringents are agents that cause tissues in the body to contract or tighten, commonly used to control bleeding from minor cuts or to reduce excess oil on the skin. They function by causing proteins on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes to precipitate, which leads to tissue shrinkage and decreased secretions.

The primary categories of astringents include thrombin-based, oxidized regenerated cellulose-based, combination, gelatin-based, and collagen-based types. Thrombin-based astringents are medical products that contain the enzyme thrombin, which promotes rapid blood clotting at bleeding sites. These astringents come in various forms, including natural and synthetic products, and are distributed through channels such as online retailers, supermarkets or hypermarkets, specialty stores, and others. They are used in applications like skin care, oral care, hair care, and cosmetics, serving a wide range of end users including personal care, pharmaceutical, and food industry sectors.
