Squalene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon found in abundance in shark liver oil. All living organisms including humans naturally produce squalene, but its production is affected with age. Squalene is used in various industries, such as cosmetics, healthcare, and nutraceuticals due to its medicinal and pharmacological benefits, such as chemo-preventive agent, antioxidant, immune system restorer, and others.
Squalene prevents the formation of age spots, protects from UV damage, and promotes cell growth in skin. It is widely used as a cleansing and moisturizing compound in personal care and cosmetic products including, creams, lotions, bath oils, hair conditioners, lipsticks, sunscreens, and others. Thus, increasing consumption of squalene in cosmetics is the key driver for the market growth.
Rise in geriatric population has led to high prevalence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Squalene helps in reducing carcinogen and cholesterol levels, which in turn is expected to fuel its demand in pharmaceutical applications. Moreover, increasing applications of squalene as an immune system support is expected to present lucrative opportunities for the market growth. However, government ban on shark fishing is expected to hamper the market growth.
