Demand for snail beauty products is driven by increase in awareness about snail mucin’s beauty-enhancing properties to help address dry skin, stretch marks, acne, rosacea, age spots, and burns.

In addition, Snail mucin is said to have beauty-enhancing antioxidants, including elastin, antimicrobials, proteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid. The global snail beauty market was valued at US$ 1.2 Bn in 2021. The global industry is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2031 and reach US$ 2.1 Bn by 2031.

Asia Pacific led the global snail beauty products market in 2021. Snail slime-based anti-aging and anti-acne lotions have gained popularity due to wrinkle and acne problems experienced by the elderly population.

According to market trends, demand for snail beauty products in the region is driven by rise in prominence of snail spas in South Korea, Thailand, and Japan. The rise in popularity is being seen in other countries such as Europe, where the European Government is providing subsidies for investment in ventures such as snail farming.

Leading players in the global snail beauty products market have adopted strategies, such as product portfolio expansion and merger & acquisition, to expand global footprint. Guerdon, a premier company that exports and imports goods from countries including Germany, exports 40 tons to 50 tons (25 million) of baby snails annually to farmers in France, as per estimates by William Reed Ltd.
