Retinoic Acid is one of over 4,000 members of the retinoids family. These are compounds that have been derived from vitamin A or retinol or are structurally related to it. Vitamin A is only derived from food and cannot be produced in any animal's body. Vitamin A is esterified in the liver and stored there, which is the richest source other than supplements. Two enzymatic reactions are required to synthesize retinol from it. The first is a reversible conversion of retinol into retinal. This is followed by an irreversible oxidation reaction of retinoic acid. Because of the double bonds between carbon atoms within its hydrophobic tail and the 6-carbon ring, retinoic acid is light-sensitive. It is also highly fat-soluble due to its low molecular weight, making it easy to diffuse across cell membranes. Retinoids play an important role in cell growth, epithelial and epithelial cell maturation, cell growth, and immunologic function. Retinoic acid is essential in embryonic development for organ growth and visual function. By inducing differentiation, retinoic acids help transform cell types from their proliferative to maturation profiles.
The market is experiencing an increase in the incidence of cancers, as retinoids are increasingly used in cancer therapy. The market is also driven by retinoic acids being widely used in the treatment of photoaged and psoriasis skin conditions, as well as skin lesions of Kaposi's Sarcoma and cancers of the breast and prostate. Isotretinoin, a form of retinoic acid, is extremely teratogenic. Because retinoic acids can disrupt the development of embryos, they are strictly controlled. This limits the market growth. However, the market is poised to grow due to the increase in research into cancer cures and the advancements in cancer therapeutics. The global retinoids market is growing due to the increasing popularity of minimally invasive treatment options. Market growth is being driven by rising awareness and preference among consumers for topical skin care products that can heal and repair sunburnt skin. Many manufacturers are now creating moisturizers and sunscreens, wrinkle and acne reducers, and nail care products that contain bioactive ingredients, which have been shown to be more effective and last longer.
