Market Overview:
The global carbomer polymer market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period, 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for personal care and cosmetics products, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the growing awareness about the benefits of using carbomer polymers is also propelling the market growth. Based on type, Carbopol 940 held a dominant share in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. This can be attributed to its superior properties such as high viscosity, good clarity, excellent thickening efficiency and low shear thinning behavior. However, Carbopol 980 is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR owing to its better compatibility with organic solvents than other types of carbomers available in the market. Based on application, personal care & cosmetics segment accounted for majority share in 2017 and it is projected that this trend would continue over next few years as well due rising consumer inclination towards using premium quality products with better aesthetics value proposition across all age groups globally .
Product Definition:
Carbomer is a polymer made up of repeating carbonyl (C=O) functional groups. It is water soluble and forms viscous solutions. Carbomer polymers are used as thickeners, stabilizers, and emulsifiers in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Carbopol 940:
Carbopol 940 is a copolymer of styrene and acrylic acid. It has high molecular weight which makes it an ideal compound for use in coating, molding, extrusion and other applications where high-molecular-weight polymers are desired. Carbopol 940 also contains small molecules that help the polymer to crosslink hence increasing its strength thereby making it more durable than other acrylics.
Carbopol 980:
Carbopol is a trade name for carboxymethyl cellulose. It is a white waxy powder, which has high viscosity and low water solubility. It is produced by the hydrolysis of cellulose in alkaline conditions (above 11 pH). Cellulose being an organic compound, it can be regenerated by heating at 100-110 degree Celsius under reduced pressure or natural light for 8-10 hours with no change in its chemical properties.
Application Insights:
The personal care and cosmetics application segment led the global market in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand for hair care products, skincare creams, and oral care gels. Rising consumer awareness regarding healthy skin and hair is also likely to propel product demand in this sector.
The pharmaceutical industry emerged as another prominent application area of the global market in 2017. Carbomers are used as thickeners, stabilizers, coatings agents and dispersants in various pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets & pills gels/jellies/sorbents alcohols/water miscible with oils (emulsions). They are also used extensively for manufacturing parenteral nutrition solutions like vitamins injections that are essential for providing nutritional support to patients undergoing medical procedures or surgeries at a cellular level Carbomer 940 has been approved by U.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the leading regional market in 2017 and is expected to witness considerable growth over the forecast period. The region’s personal care industry is highly diversified, with a wide range of products catering to various consumer needs and lifestyles. This has led to an increase in demand for different types of Carbomer polymers across North America.
The U.S., being one of the most developed nations, has a well-established pharmaceutical sector that caters to domestic as well as international needs. It also has a large number of biotechnology companies involved in drug discovery research activities at their respective laboratories within the country itself or collaborating with universities/ institutes abroad (offshore).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Carbomer Polymer in cosmetics and personal care products owing to its properties such as thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying.
- Rising demand from the pharmaceutical industry for the use of Carbomer Polymer in tablets and capsules as a disintegrant agent.
- Growing application of Carbomer Polymer in food & beverage industry due to its excellent thickening properties.
- Increasing penetration of Carbomer Polymer in various end-use industries across the globe
