Squalene market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. According to UN trade and development experts UNCTAD, the e-commerce sector saw a prominent rise in its share of all retail sales, from 16% to 19% in 2020-2021. Thus, the growth of the squalene market is attributed to factors such as the proliferation of squalene-based products due to the rapid expansion of e-commerce industries across the region. Furthermore, the growing launches of new and innovative products by market players is another factor bolstering the demand for the squalene market. For instance, in December 2020, SOPHIM launched a natural emollient named Phytosqualan, which is a high-quality squalene produced from an unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil, and fatty acids and has applications in cosmetics such as face creams, dry oils for body care, makeup and skin care.

Segmental Outlook 

The global squalene market is segmented based on type and end-use. Based on type, the market is segmented into animal-sourced, vegetable-sourced, and biosynthetic. Based on the end-use, the market is sub-segmented into cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and others. Among the end-use segment, the cosmetics sub-segment is anticipated to register significant growth during the forecast period. The growing use of squalene in cosmetic products due to its beneficial effects such as anti-oxidation, anti-aging, and others is the major factor driving the market growth.

Among the type segment, the biosynthetic sub-segment is anticipated to register significant growth during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to various product innovations such as squalene production with natural and organic ingredients and growing research on the efficacy of naturally derived squalene products. For instance, in March 2020, Amyris, Inc. presented clinical data showcasing the efficacy of its natural sugarcane squalane (marketed and sold as Neossance Squalane) as a carrier of CBD versus other oils. The company claimed that its Amyris sugarcane squalane improves the efficacy of CBD by 10-40X as the carrier oil for the skin care market based on new data.
