What Key Factors and Trends Are Driving The Growth Petroleum Jelly Market?
The petroleum jelly market seems poised for growth given the mounting need for cosmetic procedures. These procedures which can be medical or non-medical, are often undertaken to modify or enhance an individual's looks to achieve a certain aesthetic appeal. Petroleum jelly serves a vital role in such procedures - it is usually applied as a thin layer over the surgical site before a cosmetic surgery and is also used for scar treatment post-surgery on wounds or surgical incisions. In fact, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons' report of March 2023, the number of cosmetic procedures carried out in the UK rose to nearly 31,057 in 2022, reflecting a 102% increase from the previous year. Consequently, this growing trend of cosmetic procedures fuels the petroleum jelly market's expansion. The role of the pharmaceutical industry in contributing to rising demand for petroleum jelly is another key market driver. The industry, encompassing pharmaceutical research, development, and manufacturing, has broad applications for petroleum jelly. This flexible substance is used in the formulation of various creams, ointments, and lotions, and also serves as a skin protector and moisturizer in numerous pharmaceutical products. As per the statistics put out by Cross River Therapy, a U.S. ABA therapy services provider, in September 2024, it was revealed that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry had a revenue generation of $550 billion, while the country's residents spent $576.9 billion on medications in 2021. Moreover, this spending is projected to grow to anywhere between $605 and $635 billion by 2025. Therefore, the surging demand from the pharmaceutical sector is accelerating the petroleum jelly market.
