Demand for salicylic acid was highest from pharmaceuticals and was 48,697.0 tons in 2012. However, skincare and haircare are expected to be the fastest growing segments in terms of consumption of salicylic acid, on account of increasing consumer awareness regarding healthy hair and skin.

The growth of the global skincare and haircare market is expected to augment the growth of the market.

Consumption of salicylic acid was highest in North America and accounted for over 35% of the market in 2012. However, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth in the market within the forecast period. The demand for aspirin is expected to grow substantially on account of growing ageing population and healthcare initiatives by various national governments present in this region. This factor is expected to drive the demand for salicylic acid in pharmaceutical within Asia Pacific over the next few years. In addition, changing lifestyles and rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of salicylic acid on skin and hair, is expected to fuel the demand for salicylic acid in skincare and haircare applications.
