The Salicylic Acid market is experiencing growth due to increased aspirin consumption and rising consumer awareness of natural products, despite COVID-19 challenges.
Salicylic acid is an organic white crystalline solid which is highly soluble in water. It is derived from the metabolism of Salicin, which is an anti-inflammatory agent extracted from willow bark. Salicylic acid is produced naturally from certain plants and can also be produced synthetically. It can be produced naturally through a biosynthesis process of phenylalanine—an amino acid found in certain plants. Salicylic acid is produced synthetically by treating sodium phenolate, at high pressure and high temperature, with carbon dioxide to yield sodium salicylate, which is later acidified using sulfuric acid to yield salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid is a multifunctional ingredient that has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. It is mainly used in manufacturing aspirin and other personal care products. Consumption of aspirin is increasing in emerging economies of Asia Pacific, which has resulted in growth of salicylic acid market at an annual growth rate of 8% in the recent past.
