2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid Market Analysis
The global 2-hydroxypropanoic acid market size reached US$ 2.04 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.66 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 6.70% during 2023-2032.
- The increasing demand for lactic acid as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and pH regulator in various food and beverage products is influencing the growth of the market. The rising use of processed and convenience food is significantly boosting the market. According to the industry report, India’s packaged convenience food industry as of FY22 boasts a size of INR 3,194 billion and is poised for substantial growth, with approximately 11% CAGR. By FY26, this industry is projected to become a colossal INR 4,883 billion market. Notably, the top 15 companies operating in the Indian packaged convenience food segment collectively account for INR 1300 billion revenue from packaged food.
- The widespread use of lactic acid as a key raw material in the production of polylactic acid (PLA) for manufacturing biodegradable plastics is significantly driving market demand. This trend is fueled by the increasing shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly products. For instance, as per new amendments to India’s Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2024, biodegradable plastics will be defined as materials that are not only capable of degradation by biological processes in specific environments, such as soil or landfill, but also as materials that do not leave any microplastics.
- The market is also driven by the growing consumer focus on skincare and personal grooming products. Lactic acid is a common ingredient in personal care and cosmetic items due to its exfoliating and moisturizing properties which are driving its market. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the overall personal care and cosmetics market share is expected to grow to US$ 20 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 25%. On the other hand, the global cosmetics industry is growing at 4.3% CAGR and will reach US$ 450 billion by 2025. By 2025, along with this growth, India will constitute 5% of the total cosmetics market and reach the top five global markets in terms of revenue.
- For instance, in March 2022, Solvay, a global leader in naturally derived beauty polymers, expanded its new range of biodegradable guar-based actions, introduced in December 2021, with two additional thickening and conditioning polymers for beauty care. The two new ingredients, Jaguar NAT SGI and Jaguar Excel will enable beauty brands to address stringent global regulations and growing consumer expectations for more responsible and sustainable beauty products.
- The rising use of lactic acid in the pharmaceutical industry for producing biodegradable polymers for drug delivery systems and medical implants is facilitating the growth of the market.

Product Description
2-Hydroxypropanoic acid or lactic acid refers to an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H603.
This compound is a carboxylic acid containing a hydroxide group adjacent to the carbon oxide, making it an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It is naturally found in several biological systems, produced by anaerobic respiration in muscles during strenuous exercise and by certain bacteria during the fermentation process.
It has significant applications in different industries including food, cosmetics, and chemicals. In the food industry, it acts as a preservative, flavoring agent, and acidity regulator, commonly found in fermented products such as sauerkraut and yogurt. In cosmetics, it is valued for its exfoliating properties and is employed in skin care products to promote cell turnover and improve skin texture.
In chemicals, it serves as a chemical intermediate in the production of biodegradable plastics, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. Its versatility and natural occurrence make lactic acid a crucial component in multiple sectors.
