Global α-Arbutin (CAS 84380-01-8) Market Overview

The global α-Arbutin (CAS 84380-01-8) market was valued at USD xxxx units in 2025 and is projected to reach USD xxxx units by 2036, growing at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2026–2036. Market growth is primarily driven by rising demand from the personal care and cosmetics industry, particularly for skin brightening, pigmentation correction, and anti-aging formulations, along with selective pharmaceutical applications.

α-Arbutin is a highly effective and safer tyrosinase inhibitor, widely used in cosmetic formulations due to its high stability, superior skin-lightening efficacy, and lower irritation profile compared to conventional hydroquinone derivatives. The Global α-Arbutin Market Report 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of market size, structure, trends, technological developments, and competitive dynamics based on extensive primary and secondary research.

Impact of COVID-19 on the α-Arbutin Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term adverse impact on the α-arbutin market in 2020 due to disruptions in cosmetic manufacturing, supply chains, and international trade. Temporary closures of retail channels and reduced discretionary consumer spending affected demand during the early stages of the pandemic.

However, the market recovered steadily as e-commerce cosmetic sales expanded, and consumer focus shifted toward self-care, skincare, and dermatologically active cosmetic ingredients. Post-pandemic normalization of supply chains and renewed product launches have reinforced long-term market growth.
