Global surfactants market is anticipated to
grow at a steady pace by 2025
2 May 2019, The global Surfactants Market is
expected to witness steady growth over the coming
years. Surfactants are popularly employed in the
manufacturing of personal care products, which
include laundry detergents, soaps, facial
cleansers, and shower gels. Rise in living
standards and increasing consumer awareness have
spurred the personal care industry.
They are also used in the production of fabric
detergents as well as those used for dishwashing.
They also find industrial applications in the
form of hard surface cleaners. Surfactant agents
are mostly readily soluble in water and have good
foaming properties. These superior
characteristics make them effective
cleaning agents, which is expected to drive the
global market.
Growing focus on personal hygiene has resulted in
increased demand for several personal care
products as well as laundry detergents on a daily
basis. Increase in adoption of washing machines
across Asia Pacific, mainly China and India, has
significantly contributed toward regional growth
and the trend is expected to continue in future.
For the longest time, silicone oil or linear
alkyl benzene were the primary surfactants us ed
across several industries. However, concerns over
the impact of these products on the environment,
in the form of harmful waste generation and
noxious chemical release, restrained their usage.
Rising consumer awareness regard Production of
biosurfactants as a more sustainable and
environment-friendly alternative is gaining speed
as they are greener in nature and do not lead to
undesirable byproducts such as ethylene oxide and
nitrogen. These products are expected to drive
the global surfactant market over the forecast
period.

Biosurfactants have majorly found applications in
the crude oil extraction industry. They are used
to remove petroleum from polluted sites and to
improve oil production by microbial enhanced oil
recovery method (MEOR). The European Chemicals
Agency looks after the evaluation and
authorization of chemicals.
Strict government regulations act as a barrier to
overall market growth. Local governing bodies are
imposing strict laws to safeguard the environment
and organizations face the challenge of modifying
thei r production line to meet these rules and
regulations.
The production of green cleansing agents is
rather costly and therefore, market for the same
is not as lucrative in low-income countries. On
the other hand, growing usage of eco-friendly
products means the market for synthetic variants
is likely to take a hit. Research is on to
develop synthetic cleaning agents
with biodegradable properties. This is sure to
provide several opportunities to the market.
Based on chemical composition, surfactants can be
cationic, anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric.
Anionic agents such as linear alkyl benzene are
most widely used. Nonionic agents are expected to
witness slow growth on account of easy
availability of substitutes.
Key applications of surfactants include personal
care, industrial cleaners, household detergents,
and agricultural chemicals.
Regionally, Asia Pacific is one of the leading
markets and this trend is expected to continue in
future. China has reported the highest product
demand in the past, followed by Japan. Both
countries, in addition to India, are projected to
offer tremendous growth opportunities owing to
increase in disposable income and improving
consumer lifestyle. Cleaning agents used in
manufacturing units are also expected to
positively influence the overall industry in the
region.
Demand in North America, U.K., and South America
is mainly owing to high usage in personal care.
Strict government regulations and increasing
consumer awareness have contributed to the green
products market in these regions. Africa is
expected to exhibit relatively slower growth over
the forecast period on account of low disposable
incomes and availability and usage of cheaper
alternatives.
Key players in the global surfactants market
include DuPont, Dow Chemicals Company, Shanghai
Fine Chemicals, Henkel, BASF, and LG Household
Health Care. Other prominent vendors include
Croda, Huntsman, Clariant, Fenchem, and
SpechChem. Major customers in the market are
mainly FMCG manufacturers. They include Unilever,
PG, JohnsonDiversey, Ecolab, and Reckitt
Benckiser. Manufacturers try to establish
long-lasting relationships with these major
players to help them achieve economies of
scale. Manufacturers have been observed
undertaking several strategies such as innovation
and expansion to optimize costs.
