The global salicylic acid market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the period, 2022-2027.

An increase in the prevalence of chronic acne vulgaris in adults and teenagers, owing to sedentary lifestyles and increased consumption of fast food items, may accelerate the salicylic acid demand. Salicylic acid has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. When used in combination with benzoic acid in the ointment, it has fungicidal properties.

However, with the impact of COVID-19 the market has affected the demand due to closure at retail end and with the restricted working timing and transportation restrictions, raw material procurement has become another challenge impacting the manufacturing capacities of salycilic acid in the market. The lockdown measures led to the closure of manufacturing facilities and led to the disruptions in the supply chain impacting the supply and disribution of application sindustries.

Furthermore, salicylic acid’s extensive application in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture various medicines, such as acetylsalicylic acid, phenyl salicylate, sodium salicylate, methyl salicylate, and methyl salicylate may foster market growth.

Growing Demand for Salicylic Acid in Acne-Fighting Cosmetics


The use of salicylic acid, a multifunctional ingredient that addresses many of the systemic causes of blemishes, is on the rise in the prevention of acne and related cosmetics. Salicylic acid’s usage is on the rise, with the researchers pointing out its development as an alternative to glycolic acid, marking it as a key growth factor.​ Cosmetics with acne-fighting properties are currently witnessing a boost because of the rise in adult consumers suffering from acne.
