MARKET DRIVERS

Increased Applications Across Various Industries

The hyaluronic acid products market in the European region has found various increasing applications in the past several decades, such as in cosmetics such as dermal fillers, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, hyperpigmentation, in composition for several cosmetic crèmes and gels, etc. Hyaluronic acid has also been found to be useful in aesthetic surgeries like removal, Botox, burns, ophthalmic reflux, etc. The adoption of hyaluronic acid in the cosmetics industry has increased owing to several advantages with its moisturizing properties for healthy skin. Furthermore, for the treatment of osteoarthritis, the joint is injected with hyaluronic acid to aid in the repair and act as a shock absorber. The long-term effects are one of the primary key factors attracting consumers to this material and driving the European market growth.

Rising Adoption for Joint Disorders

Hyaluronic acid has been found to increase adoption for joint disorders caused due to rising rates of obesity, osteoarthritis, and joint pain. In addition, synovitis has fueled the demand for hyaluronic acid injections as a treatment. The cosmetics industry in Europe is evolving at a high rate in terms of product availability and innovations. In addition, skin-related products are becoming increasingly popular amongst the younger for glowing skin and the older age group for anti-aging features. Moreover, rapid and continuous research and development would open up new areas and drive market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Lack of Awareness and Potential Risks

The lack of awareness of hyaluronic acid is limited because the material can be harmful to the skin and surrounding structures when used in higher quantities. Due to this factor, there are stringent rules for product approval and launch into the market. This is one of the significant restraints faced by the European hyaluronic acid market. Nevertheless, these products have fewer side effects when used in moderation. Moreover, the production of hyaluronic acid is complex, resulting in higher manufacturing costs and expensive skincare procedures that are anticipated to negatively impact the market during the forecast period.
