Squalene has emerged as a popular choice in several end-use industry verticals owing to the increasing popularity of its beneficial properties of UV protection, anti-aging effects, etc. Squalene is preferred for skin care as it has anti-aging and UV protection properties.
From 2017 to 2021, the squalene market expanded at a CAGR of 5.8%. People across the world are more aware of their personal care needs than ever before and this has propelled the demand for personal care products for skin, hair, etc.

The squalene market is projected to witness expansion at an astronomical CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2032.
“High Costs of Synthetic Squalene Production & Low Availability of Shark Liver”
Squalene production has emerged as a major challenge for all market players in the squalene marketplace. Owing to the overfishing of sharks, various governments across the world have implemented bans and restrictions on fishing in order to save species from endangerment.
Also, rising consumer awareness and changing preference toward plant-based squalene is expected to provide manufacturers with new challenges. Production of squalene from plant-based products is a costly affair and the resultant squalene is not as pure as the one derived from animal sources.
These factors obstruct the growth of the squalene industry at present and are expected to be prevalent over the forecast period as well.
