The global Natural Ferulic Acid market continues to demonstrate robust growth prospects, with its valuation reaching USD 41 million in 2023. According to extensive industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.80%, reaching approximately USD 87.59 million by 2032. This expansion is primarily driven by increasing applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries, where demand for natural antioxidants and UV absorbers continues to rise globally.
Natural Ferulic Acid, a potent antioxidant extracted from rice bran oil and other plant sources, has gained significant traction in anti-aging skincare formulations and nutraceutical products. Its ability to neutralize free radicals and enhance product stability makes it highly desirable in industries transitioning toward clean-label and natural ingredients. As regulatory bodies tighten restrictions on synthetic additives, manufacturers are increasingly investing in ferulic acid-based solutions.
