The natural segment is anticipated to capture a market share of 72.2% during the forecast period, owing to growing consumer preference for plant-sourced ingredients in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and food preservation. Ferulic acid is a naturally sourced ingredient that is primarily derived from rice bran, wheat, and oats, and its use is preferred in clean-label products due to the perception of its safety. As more and more personal care brands seek eco-friendly and organic certifications, natural ferulic acid can be a valuable addition as it is effective in anti-aging serums and sun protection products. Companies are moving away from the use of hazardous solvents in the extraction process through enzymatic and microbial processes. The preference for natural antioxidants over synthetic preservatives is another factor that supports this segment’s growth. The versatility of natural ferulic acid makes it an essential component in green chemistry formulations as it can be incorporated into various formulations.
APEJ is projected to hold 37.7% of the global ferulic acid market by 2037, owing to the rising demand from natural cosmetics, plant-based supplements, and food additives. China is one of the largest producers of rice bran and other agricultural byproducts, which offer a low-cost source of natural ferulic acid feedstock. Domestic cosmetics and nutraceutical companies are using it for its antioxidant properties in their products. In India, increasing health consciousness and growth in herbal medicine markets are driving the demand for plant-derived actives. Government policies that could also enhance competitiveness include supportive policies regarding export-oriented manufacturing growth. Due to the availability of raw materials and low cost of processing, Asia Pacific is well positioned for long-term growth.
