Bakuchiol Global Market Report 2025

The bakuchiol market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.93 billion in 2024 to $1.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising consumer inclination toward natural and plant-based skincare ingredients, increased awareness of the adverse effects associated with synthetic retinol products, growing demand for anti-aging skincare solutions that cause less irritation, greater adoption of cruelty-free and clean beauty products, and the increasing popularity of multi-purpose skincare formulations.

The bakuchiol market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.48 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be linked to the expanding influence of social media and beauty influencers endorsing bakuchiol, the increasing reach of online retail platforms for skincare products, a heightened focus on sustainable and eco-conscious packaging, rising investments in research and development for innovative bakuchiol-based formulations, and the growing interest from male and unisex consumers in natural skincare alternatives. Key trends expected during this period include progress in botanical extraction technologies, advancements in clinical research supporting the use of digital marketing and e-commerce platforms, regulatory developments enabling quicker market entry for bakuchiol products, and innovations in packaging solutions.

The growing shift toward organic products is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bakuchiol market in the coming years. Organic products are made from naturally cultivated ingredients and are free from synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The increasing demand for organic items is fueled by heightened consumer awareness of health and environmental advantages, prompting a preference for natural, chemical-free alternatives that promote a safer lifestyle. Bakuchiol, as a plant-derived substitute for retinol, aligns well with clean beauty principles due to its natural origin and gentle, non-synthetic composition. For example, in August 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture, a U.S.-based government body, awarded nearly $10 million in organic development grants, contributing to a total investment of $85 million aimed at expanding organic production in the U.S. Furthermore, in 2023, consumer demand for organic products in the country surpassed $69 billion, accounting for roughly 4% of total food sales. Thus, the rising inclination toward organic products is propelling the growth of the bakuchiol market.

Leading companies in the bakuchiol market are concentrating on developing advanced products such as multi-functional skincare formulations to cater to the growing demand for clean beauty and provide effective, non-irritating alternatives to retinol.

This innovative sun stick features SPF50+ PA++++ and includes 10,000 ppm of bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative recognized for its anti-aging effects. It also contains niacinamide and peptides to enhance skin elasticity and texture. Additionally, the product functions as a primer, helping to smooth pores and skin imperfections, making it suitable for use even over makeup.
