The cosmetic lipid ingredients industry is categorized in terms of source, product, application, and region.

Based on the source, the animal-based segment is projected to exhibit more than 4.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, attributed to the rising demand for fish oils. Fish bodies or fish livers are utilized to produce fish marine oils. Fish lipids are an optimal and natural source of essential fatty acids such as DHA, DPA, and EPA. Besides, they have a rich composition of omega-3 fatty acids and other additional elements such as selenium Vitamin D, Vitamin A, etc., making them ideal for a number of cosmetic formulations. Furthermore, the ability of fish lipids to prevent signs of aging by slowing down the production of inflammatory compounds will boost their uptake in the coming years.

The cosmetic lipids ingredients market share from the triglyceride segment is expected to grow considerably through 2032. Caprylic triglyceride acts as an antioxidant and therefore finds extensive usage in skin care products due to its ability to soothe skin. It also binds other compounds together while functioning as a preservative which extends the life of active components in cosmetics, thereby contributing to the increasing product adoption rate.

Based on application, the market is set to witness robust growth through the hair products segment due to their superior qualities, such as their ability to moisturize dry skin, repair damaged hair, and activate fibroblast and papilla cells. That being said, owing to their protective effects on skin cells and antioxidant properties, lipids like mannosyl erythritol (MELs) are used in many hair care formulations. Furthermore, increased consumer awareness about hair care products will favor the market growth during 2023-2032.

Regionally, the Europe cosmetic lipid ingredients market is estimated to amass more than USD 4 billion in revenue by 2032. Europe is a global leader in the cosmetics business and a major cosmetics exporter. Additionally, the region has emerged as a lucrative business hub for cosmetics and personal care products, owing to sociodemographic changes. Nonetheless, skin care and perfumes are more popular among Italians than cosmetics for aesthetic purposes. Furthermore, the growing adoption of sustainable cosmetic products among the younger generation is likely to drive market growth through 2032.
