Global Humectants Market is expected to register an impressive growth rate of 5.3% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2030 to reach USD 38.9 billion by the end of 2030. 

The demand for humectants has increased as a result of the growing use of humectants to extend the shelf life of a product, retain moisture, and boost the effectiveness of a product. The global humectants market is driven by increased demand from food and beverage applications, as well as increased desire for and technical advancements in cosmetics and changes in lifestyle. Several humectants are petroleum derivatives; consequently, volatility in crude oil prices could impede worldwide market growth. Additionally, higher AHA use contributes to epidermal thickening and collagen formation, assisting in the healing of photodamaged skin while preventing it from future UV harm. The market's expansion can be ascribed to the expansion of application sectors, the increasing need for healthy food and drinks, the surge in demand for biodiesel, and fluctuating sugar costs. Natural humectants are widely used in the food and beverage sector because they aid in extending the shelf life of products, adding sweetness, and balancing the moisture level of products.

However, rigorous regulations governing the manufacturing and consumption of emollients and humectants are impeding market growth, particularly in developed markets in Europe and North America. Manufacturers of humectants must adhere to worldwide quality standards established by regulatory bodies, which is impeding the global humectants market's growth. The global humectants market has been significantly impacted by the novel SARS-CoV-2 illness outbreak that spread throughout 2021, owing to temporary production shutdowns in manufacturing facilities, disruptions in the raw material supply chain, and movement restrictions. The market's growth was harmed by decreased product sales in the skin care and personal care industries as a result of WFH trends.
