Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate Market - Overview
Sodium lauroyl isethionate (SLI) is a mild surfactant used in various personal care applications. Sodium lauroyl isethionate exhibits excellent detergency properties. It is also used as a cleansing agent in several applications such as shampoos, facial care products, body washes, and toothpastes. However, it can be harmful to the skin and can cause irritation when used in higher concentrations or quantities above the standard limits. Sodium lauroyl isethionate is formulated by using fatty acids combined with isethionic acid. Isethionic acid is derived from sodium bisulfite and aqueous solution of ethylene oxide. However, ethylene oxide is a carcinogenic substance. This may act as a restraining factor for the market.
Based on type, the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market has been segmented into chips/flakes, powders, and granules. The chips/flakes segment dominated the global SLI market in 2017. It is likely to remain highly attractive during the forecast period also. This can be largely attributed to the rise in demand for flakes type of sodium lauroyl isethionate for use in applications such as personal care products. The granules segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This is due to lower prices of granule-type sodium lauroyl isethionate and higher demand for its use in hair care products.
In terms of application, the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market has been classified into hair care, skin care, and others. The hair care segment has been sub-segmented into shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products. Similarly, the skin care segment has been sub-divided into bubble baths, soap bars, and others. Skin care is the leading segment of the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market. In skin care products, SLI is used to impart texture, detergency, and wetting properties to the product. The soap bars sub-segment dominated the skin care segment of the market for SLI in 2017. The others segment includes oral care products such as mouth washes, toothpastes, and baby care products (such as baby shampoos, creams, and soaps). The hair care segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, owing to high demand for hair care products across the globe. Changing lifestyle and rising usage of high-quality personal care products are major factors propelling the demand for hair styling products and luxury hair beautifying products worldwide. This, in turn, is fueling the hair care segment of the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market. Market share of the hair care segment is estimated to increase by the end of the forecast period.
Based on region, the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market has been segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America dominated the global sodium lauroyl isethionate market, holding 33.1% of the market share in 2017. The market in the region is anticipated to expand significantly during the forecast period, due to growth of the personal care sector in the region. Asia Pacific is projected to be a rapidly expanding market for sodium lauroyl isethionate during the forecast period. Market share of the region is estimated to increase by the end of the forecast period. The market in the region is fuelled by changing lifestyle and growth of the personal care industry in Asia Pacific.
