Growing Pharmaceutical Industry Boosting Bismuth Nitrate Industry Size

Factors such as the increase in the application of bismuth nitrate over other bismuth derivates, rapid growth of the pharmaceutical sector, and expansion of end-use industries in emerging economies are expected to drive the bismuth nitrate market at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2020–2030). According to P&S Intelligence, the market was valued at $190.6 million in 2019, and it is expected to reach $287.7 million by 2030. Moreover, the market is witnessing the increasing adoption of the chemical in nail polishes, lipsticks, eye shadows, and hair sprays.


One of the key factors boosting the market growth is the surging adoption of the compound over other derivatives of bismuth. In recent years, large-scale manufacturers have shifted their focus from using bismuth oxychloride, bismuth hydroxide, bismuth subsalicylate, and bismuth subcarbonate to bismuth nitrate owing to the ability of the compound to serve as a suitable reactant for the selective oxidation of sulfides to form sulfoxides. Furthermore, the compound has a low cost and easy-to-handle features. Thus, it is widely used in various applications as an alternative to organic synthesis.


Moreover, the key trend in the bismuth nitrate market is the surging usage of the compound in cosmetics. The key products that contain this salt include lipsticks, hair sprays, nail polishes, and eye shadows. This is because the salt is a good source of white pigments in such products. Hence, with the increasing disposable income around the world, the spending on cosmetic products is burgeoning. Moreover, people are becoming more conscious of their appearance, which, combined with the growing geriatric population and dermatological disease burden, is driving cosmetic consumption.


The grade segment of the bismuth nitrate market is classified into pharmaceutical grade, industrial grade, and others. Of these, the pharmaceutical grade held the largest revenue share in 2019 in the market, and it is also expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is ascribed to the high-volume consumption of the compound in drug production. Further, the high investments in research and development (R&D) for the discovery of novel applications of this grade in the medical sector drives its demand.


Geographically, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) bismuth nitrate market generated the highest revenue in 2019, and it is expected to witness the same trend during the forecast period. This is ascribed to the increasing R&D investments in the pharmaceutical sector to develop drugs for diseases that do not have any cure. Moreover, APAC is the prime supplier of medicated drugs to several Middle Eastern and European nations. Thus, foreign companies are becoming compelled to establish their manufacturing bases in the region. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of cancer in APAC facilitates the market growth.


Thus, the increasing application of bismuth nitrate over other bismuth derivates and growing pharmaceutical sector are projected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
