Glutathione Market Size

Glutathione Market size was valued at USD 238.31 million in 2023 and is projected to record 7.1% CAGR from 2024 to 2032, driven by its extensive application across various sectors, notably in healthcare and cosmetics. Due to its antioxidant properties, glutathione helps in detoxifying the body while enhancing the immune system and maintaining the cellular health. These benefits are increasing its demand in the medical field, where it is used to treat conditions, such as neurological diseases, cancer, and heart diseases.
 

For instance, in April 2022, Cymbiotica launched a modified glutathione with important nutrients required for almost every biological process in the human body. The increasing awareness about the importance of antioxidants in preventive healthcare and the rising preference for natural and safe health supplements will drive the product uptake.
 

With consumers becoming more conscious about skin health and anti-aging solutions, the demand for products containing glutathione is surging due to their ability to lighten skin, reduce wrinkles and increase skin elasticity. Moreover, there have been continued R&D activities aimed at exploring new medical and cosmetic uses. Natural and organic beauty products have further encouraged manufacturers to include glutathione in their offerings.
 

However, high manufacturing costs and complicated processes are making glutathione supplements and products relatively expensive, putting them out of reach for many consumers. Stringent regulations and international standards for the approval and marketing of glutathione products may also pose a major challenge for manufacturers. Lack of awareness and understanding about the specific benefits of glutathione among consumers is also hindering market growth.

Producers of glutathione are working on increasing bioavailability and efficacy for improving effectiveness at low doses and absorption.

For instance, in October 2023, Chezgreen launched an eye care cream formulated with L-Glutathione, Vitamin C and other antioxidant-rich natural extracts to help regenerate damaged skin cells and maintain the skin for the Indian market. The growing adoption of sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods to satisfy environmentally conscious consumers will also add to the product preference.
