Guanidine Carbonate Market

Guanidine carbonate is an organic guanidine compound with molecular formula C3H12N6O3, widely utilized as a raw material in manufacturing processes in end-user industries including cosmetics, detergents, and textile. Guanidine carbonate is a strong base, widely used as an intermediate in chemicals, cosmetics, and detergents as well as in microencapsulation processes. Guanidine carbonate forms a precursor for the production of guanidine hydroxide, which is further utilized as an active ingredient in several formulations used in chemical hair-relaxing treatments. These treatments are employed for permanent straightening of curly hair. Flame retardants and flocculants are some of the other applications of guanidine carbonate. Guanidine carbonate is colorless and transparent in nature and is commercially available in the form of white crystals or powder. Two grades of guanidine carbonate are commercially available: the industrial grade and the pharmaceutical grade. However, utmost caution and care need to be taken while handling guanidine carbonate. Guanidine carbonate causes irritation to the skin and the respiratory tract. It causes serious irritation to the eyes and it proves harmful if swallowed. Health hazards caused due to guanidine are likely to restrain the global guanidine carbonate market in the near future.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis

Guanidine carbonate of pharmaceutical grade is a bit costlier than that of industrial grade, owing to its higher purity. The pharmaceutical grade segment is likely to expand at a steady growth rate during the forecast period. Based on application, the global guanidine carbonate market can be segmented into chemicals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and others. The market is dominated by the chemicals segment followed by the cosmetics segment. The chemicals segment is likely to continue its dominance, expanding at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Geographically, Asia Pacific dominates the global guanidine carbonate market, followed by Europe.Asia Pacific is one of the leading producers and exporters of chemicals across the world. Growth of the global guanidine carbonate market in the region can be attributed to growth of the chemical industry in the region. The chemical industry in China, India, and ASEAN is expanding at a rapid pace. Growth of the global guanidine carbonate market in Europe can be attributed to growth of cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries in Europe.

Market trends

• Growing demands in pharmaceuticals sector has resulted in market growth.
• Pharmaceutical grade is the primary market for guanidine carbonate market. Due to their chaotropic character both ultrapure Guanidine Hydrochloride and Guanidine thiocyanate are used as protein denaturants in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals and their generic versions called biosimilars. In addition, they are useful for the extraction of DNA and RNA in molecular diagnostics. Guanidine Carbonate is an alkaline, organic salt. Guanidine Carbonate’s primary functions have been for use in formulations for hair straightening, as a depilatory agent, for use in pH adjustment, and as a buffering agent.
• Increasing self-consciousness and demand for cosmetic products has resulted in market expansion.
• Cosmetic sector has been the primary market for Guanidine Carbonate followed by chemicals.  Guanidine carbonates are mainly used as raw materials in cosmetic industry. Cosmetics comprise a range of products that are used to care for the face and body or to enhance or change the appearance of the face or body. The products include skin care, personal care, cosmetics, and fragrance. There is a vast array of cosmetics available, ranging from shampoo to moisturizer to lipstick.
