The ursolic acid market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.01 billion in 2025 to $0.01 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of herbal extracts, growth of cosmetic ingredient markets, rising demand for natural supplements, expansion of pharmaceutical research on plant compounds, availability of botanical raw materials.
The ursolic acid market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for clean-label products, rising use in functional foods, expansion of anti-aging skincare applications, growing investments in natural ingredient extraction, increasing focus on preventive healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of natural bioactive compounds, rising demand for plant-derived ingredients, expansion of ursolic acid in skincare formulations, increasing adoption in nutraceutical products, enhanced focus on antioxidant properties.
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive the growth of the ursolic acid market in the coming years. Ursolic acid may help lower heart rate, inhibit proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression in damaged artery cells, and reduce lipid peroxide levels by scavenging free radicals. For example, in September 2024, according to a report by the Stroke Foundation, an Australia-based national charity focused on stroke prevention, 45,785 Australians experienced a stroke in 2023, equivalent to one stroke every 11 minutes. Of these, 34,793 were first-time occurrences. Hence, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases supports the growth of the ursolic acid market.
The expanding cosmetics industry is expected to propel the growth of the ursolic acid market going forward. Cosmetics include products designed for cleansing, beautifying, enhancing attractiveness, or altering appearance, such as skincare, haircare, and makeup. The growth of the cosmetics market is fueled by rising consumer preference for natural and herbal products, increased awareness of skin health, and demand for anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory solutions. For instance, in June 2025, according to Cosmetics Europe, a Belgium-based cosmetics industry association, the European cosmetics market reached $120.58 billion (€104 billion) in retail sales in 2024, with the skincare segment alone accounting for $34.89 billion (€30.1 billion). Therefore, the growth of the cosmetics industry is supporting the ursolic acid market.
The increasing global focus on health, fitness, and active lifestyles is expected to drive the growth of the ursolic acid market. Health and fitness awareness reflects growing consumer understanding and adoption of physical activity, wellness routines, and nutritional strategies to support muscle health, metabolic balance, and overall well-being. Rising participation in sports, exercise, and wellness activities is driving demand for natural bioactive compounds, such as ursolic acid, which aid in muscle maintenance, recovery, and antioxidant support. For example, in February 2025, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), a US-based fitness trade association, 247.1 million Americans participated in at least one sport, fitness, or outdoor activity in 2024, marking the highest participation ever recorded. Therefore, the increasing health and fitness awareness is propelling the growth of the ursolic acid market.
