Executive Summary
The global Plant-based Squalane market is experiencing strong and sustained growth, driven by accelerating demand for natural, vegan, and sustainable cosmetic ingredients. Plant-based squalane—primarily derived from sugar fermentation or olive oil—has emerged as a preferred alternative to animal-based (shark-derived) squalane due to its biocompatibility, excellent emollient properties, oxidative stability, and ethical sourcing profile.
In 2025, the global Plant-based Squalane market is valued at XX million US$ and is projected to reach XX million US$ by 2036, growing at a healthy CAGR during 2026–2036. Market expansion is largely fueled by rapid growth in clean beauty, premium skincare, and dermatological formulations, alongside increasing regulatory and consumer pressure to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.
North America and Europe dominate consumption due to strong clean-beauty adoption, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, supported by expanding cosmetics manufacturing in Japan, South Korea, China, and Southeast Asia. Technological advancements in biotechnology-based fermentation are further improving supply scalability and cost efficiency, strengthening long-term market prospects.
