The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Keratin was estimated to be worth US$ 122 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 200 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Keratin is one of the fibrous structural protein family. The main protein constitutes the outer layer of hair, horns, claws and human skin. Keratin can protect epithelial tissue cells from damage or stress. Keratin monomers form bundles to form intermediate fibrin. There are several different types of keratin, which differ in their amino acid composition and arrangement. For example, hair and nails contain hard keratins, which are more compact and resistant to wear and tear, while skin contains soft keratins that are more pliable and flexible. More than 20 kinds of keratin peptide chains have been found, and hair keratin and epidermal keratin are composed of different keratin peptide chains. Keratin contains high cysteine, and the cross-linking of cysteine is the main cross-linking structure of keratin, and the physical and chemical properties of keratin are mainly related to this cross-linking structure. In this report, we study the keratin powder.
The global keratin market is expanding steadily, driven by the increasing demand for personal care and cosmetic products, especially those focused on hair and skin health. Keratin, a structural protein found in human hair, skin, and nails, is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, serums, and skincare products due to its strengthening and restorative properties. The rising popularity of natural and functional ingredients in beauty products is further fueling demand, as consumers become more ingredient-conscious. Additionally, the growing middle-class population, increasing disposable incomes, and rising awareness of personal grooming—especially in Asia-Pacific and Latin America—are contributing significantly to the market's growth. The use of keratin in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, such as wound healing and tissue engineering, is also opening new avenues for market expansion.
Despite its growth potential, the keratin market faces several challenges. The extraction of keratin from natural sources such as feathers, wool, and hair can be resource-intensive and may raise ethical or environmental concerns, particularly in vegan and cruelty-free markets. High production costs and complex purification processes can limit scalability and profit margins for manufacturers. Furthermore, fluctuations in raw material availability and pricing may impact supply chains. In the cosmetics industry, the presence of alternative proteins and synthetic ingredients with similar functions increases competition. Regulatory challenges related to product safety, labeling, and approval processes in different countries can also create entry barriers for new market players or products.
