According to the study, cosmetics industry to be the largest application segment, followed by toiletries and skin care. The report finds that cosmetics industry will continue to remain preeminent for emollient manufacturers, however, significant opportunities will also emerge in the toiletries and skin care segment. The report estimates these two segments to hold nearly 50% revenue share throughout the forecast period.
Manufacturers and stakeholders in the emollient market have been observed to closely follow consumer preferences during the product design of emollient formulations. Following the divergent preference for different forms of emollients available in the market as well as those at the top of medical prescriptions, the report shows that the semi-solid emollient form accounted for nearly 35% of the total market share in 2017 and is expected to surpass $390 million by 2027 end.

Flourishing personal care industry where manufacturers are actively engaged in introducing green chemistry, the region is leading the emollient market with production of natural emollients, novel manufacturing processes, and packaging innovations. Demand for emollient in APEJ and Europe is likely to remain resurgent, with the former likely to account for marginally higher volume share of the market by 2027.
Rising consumer preference for clean labels and natural ingredients has led manufacturers to explore new avenues of natural emollient product offerings.
