The global Cosmetic Grade Ethylene Glycol Monostearate market continues its steady growth trajectory, valued at USD 159 million in 2023 with projections reaching USD 264.10 million by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by increasing demand from the personal care and cosmetics industry, where EGMS serves as a versatile ingredient for opacification, emulsification, and formulation enhancement.
Ethylene Glycol Monostearate (EGMS) has become indispensable in cosmetic formulations, particularly for creating the desirable pearl essence effect in shampoos and liquid soaps. Its unique property of increasing viscosity in low-solids content formulations makes it particularly valuable for manufacturers developing premium personal care products.
