Report Detail

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic Acid market size was valued at US$ 519 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 748 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.5% during review period.
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid is a water-soluble UV filter used in sunscreens, skin care, hair care and formulation protection. Its sulfonic acid group improves water compatibility, making it useful in aqueous cosmetic systems and clear formulations where UV protection and color stability are required. In 2025, Global 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid sales are estimated at about 3,150 tons, with an average ex-works price of about 160 US$/kg. The chain starts from anisole, benzoylation and sulfonation intermediates, then moves through UV-filter synthesis, purification and cosmetic-grade quality control to sunscreen, skin care, hair care and polymer or formulation protection users.
Demand is supported by the steady use of UV filters in daily sun care and personal care formulations, the need for water-soluble UV absorbers in transparent or aqueous systems, and the role of Benzophenone-4 as a formulation stabilizer. Growth is moderate rather than explosive because regulatory scrutiny on benzophenone UV filters, brand reformulation trends and competition from newer photostable filters limit broad expansion.
