Levulinic Acid Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
Levulinic acid and its salts (majorly sodium levulinate) are water-soluble. They are commonly used in beauty and personal care products, as it is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Moreover, the rules governing cosmetic products in the European Union do not restrict these ingredients' use.
According to the FDA's Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) survey data, levulinic acid is used in around 130 cosmetic formulations, and sodium levulinate is used in approximately 400 cosmetic formulations; levulinic acid has the highest maximum concentration of around 4.5% in hair dyes, while sodium levulinate is used at a maximum concentration of 0.62% in mouthwashes and breath fresheners.
Continuous growth in online beauty spending, expanding social network use, increasing consumer interest in new and premium products, accelerating urbanization, and the growth of the upper-middle-class population are the major factors driving the cosmetics market worldwide-the creamy, whisky fragrance of levulinic acid results in its heavy usage in the manufacturing of perfumes.
