The rising demand for skincare products is anticipated to drive the growth of the alpha-hydroxy acid market in the future. Skincare products are topical formulations designed to cleanse, moisturize, and treat the skin to maintain or enhance its health, appearance, and texture. This demand is growing due to heightened awareness of skincare benefits, an aging population, and the influence of social media. Additionally, advancements in product formulations and the expansion of e-commerce contribute to easier access and a broader range of options. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are widely used in skincare products for their exfoliating properties, which help remove dead skin cells and promote smoother, more radiant skin. For example, n May 2023, according to The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Perfumery Association, a UK-based organization, indicated that skincare product sales reached 479,569 units in 2022, up from 461,472 units in 2021. Thus, the growing demand for skincare products is driving the expansion of the alpha-hydroxy acid market.
Leading companies in the alpha-hydroxy acid market are moving towards personalized skincare solutions, such as glycolic acid eye serum, to address the rising consumer demand for targeted and effective skincare treatments. The glycolic acid eye serum is a specialized skincare product designed to tackle under-eye issues such as dark circles and puffiness. For example, in February 2024, L'Oréal S.A., a France-based personal care company, introduced the glycolic bright dark circle eye serum specifically for the Indian skincare market. This product effectively addresses under-eye hyperpigmentation and puffiness, meeting the increasing demand in the eye serum category.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of naturally occurring acids found in various fruits and milk, widely used in skincare products for their exfoliating effects. These acids function by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating exfoliation, and revealing smoother, brighter skin.
The primary types of alpha-hydroxy acids are glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and others. Glycolic acid, obtained from sugarcane, is a notable AHA known for its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate the skin deeply and exfoliate by dissolving dead skin cells, leading to a smoother texture and more even skin tone. AHAs can be sourced from natural or synthetic origins and are applied in cosmetics and dermal treatments.
