Keratin is an industry that manufactures, distributes, and uses keratin, a fibrous structural protein found in hair, skin, nails, and animal fibresfibres. Keratin is widely used in cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry due to its strengthening, protective, and healing properties. It is also used in the manufacture of hair care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, and treatments meant to repair and strengthen hair. Moreover, increasing consumer demand for high-quality hair and skin care products drives the growth of Keratin, as Keratin strengthens and rejuvenates hair and skin. It is further supported by growing consumer consciousness towards natural and protein-rich ingredients for personal care products. Moreover, the popularity of keratin-based treatments and supplements for hair health increased the market size; advancement in biotechnology also supports the production of keratin at a larger scale. An increased concern for beauty and wellness also fosters this growth. However, the restraints to Keratin include high production costs, unavailability of raw material on a limited scale, and susceptibility to allergic reactions from products containing keratin. This market also comes with competition from other proteins and synthetic ingredients in personal care products.
