The global magnesium stearate market is predicted to touch $2,637.6 million by 2030, progressing at a 5.3% CAGR from 2020 to 2030. The major factors driving the market are an increase in the use of magnesium stearate in personal care products and the APAC rapidly expanding pharmaceuticals sector.

Based on form, the powder category dominated the magnesium stearate market in terms of size. Due to its use as an appropriate release agent during the production of drugs, powdered magnesium stearate is in high requirement from the pharmaceutical sector. Utilizing the compound makes the production process effective and time-saving by preventing tablets from adhering to the manufacturing equipment.

In the coming years, the pharmaceuticals category will have the fastest-growing need for the chemical, primarily due to rising awareness of its potential use as a reliable release agent, and a cheap binder and filler, in medicines. Additionally, the consumption of the compound is anticipated to increase further shortly due to increasing funding in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in emerging nations.

Geographically, APAC dominates the magnesium stearate market due to a considerable increase in the use of chemicals, primarily in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, plastics, and personal care sectors. To fulfill the region's end-use industries' high-volume demand, chemical producers there are placing a lot of emphasis on facility expansions. Additionally, the consumption of prescription medication in the form of pills and capsules is rising due to the increasing prevalence of many disorders.

Recently, the usage of compound in personal care products has increased significantly, especially in India, China, Germany, the U.S., France, and South Korea. Magnesium stearate may be used as a great lubricant and texturizer in cosmetics.
