Personal Care products were the largest consumers of glycolic acid in 2012 and accounted for over 50% of the global consumption. Skincare and haircare are the two most important users of glycolic acid owing to the acids anti oxidation and exfoliating properties. The growing consumer awareness regarding the benefits of glycolic acid makes it an ideal ingredient in moisturizers, face peels, shampoos and conditioners. In addition, the rising use of anti ageing products by younger population in developed and emerging nations is expected to drive the demand. The other key application was PGA (Polyglycolic Acid) which is extensively used in the manufacturing of medical devices. PGA is derived from glycolic acid and is biodegradable in nature resulting in its use in the manufacturing of absorbable sutures. With the improvement in medical technologies in countries such as India, China, Brazil and Russia, the demand for absorbable sutures is expected to outpace the demand for non-absorbable sutures resulting in direct pressure on the demand for PGA. Glycolic acid is as used as a industrial and household cleaner.
