Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Water-Soluble UV Absorbers for Cosmetics market size was valued at US$ 247 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 346 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.1% during review period.
Water-soluble UV absorbers for cosmetics constitute a class of organic compounds (such as BP-4) that are soluble in water and capable of absorbing both UVA and UVB radiation. They protect the skin by converting ultraviolet light into harmless thermal energy; characterized by their refreshing, non-greasy feel and non-irritating nature, they are widely utilized in water-based sunscreens, water-based cosmetics, gels, and serums.
The upstream supply chain primarily relies on aromatic intermediates (such as *o*-phenylenediamine and resorcinol) as well as key sulfonation or phosphorylation reagents. The stability of this supply is directly influenced by fluctuations in the prices of basic petrochemical raw materials and by increasingly stringent environmental regulations within chemical industrial parks. Downstream applications cater directly to the consumer daily chemical market, finding extensive use in product formulations such as transparent sunscreen sprays, water-based gels, and oil-control day creams.
In 2025, global sales volume is projected to reach approximately 12,000 tons, with market prices ranging from $10 to $35 per kilogram. The industry's gross profit margin hovers in the range of 30% to 40%.
