The global surfactants market was valued at $41.3 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $58.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2020 to 2027. Surfactants are organic chemicals, with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends, that when added, change the properties of the liquid. Surfactants allow oil molecules to dissolve in water. They have vast practical applications in a variety of industries, owing to their properties such as wettability, detergency, emulsion, dispersion, stabilization, and foam/froth formation. The surfactant market is dominated by surfactant groups such as alcohol ethoxylates, sulfates, ether sulfates, and alkyl benzene sulfonates, which are majorly used in laundry detergents, soaps, household, and personal care products.
The key driver responsible for the growth of this industry includes growing end-user industries such as household detergents, personal care, and others in the developed and developing economies. However, rise in prices and low raw material availability hamper market growth. Moreover, environmental concerns such as toxic effects of surfactants on various aquatic organisms and implementation of stringent laws & regulations toward their use limit their adoption.
The global surfactants market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Depending on type, the market is divided into anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric and others. Anionic surfactant is further sub-classified into linear alkyl benzene, fatty alcohol ether sulfate, fatty alcohol sulfate, sulfosuccinates and others. Non-ionic surfactants is further sub-fragmented into fatty alcohol ethoxylates, alkyl phenol ethoxylates and others. Based on application, it is segmented into household detergents, personal care, industrial & institutional cleaners, food processing, oilfield chemicals, agricultural chemicals, textiles, emulsion polymerization (plastics), paints & coatings, construction, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
