Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
global natural surfactants market has seen strong development over the past couple of years with its end-business, and is anticipated to continue in the coming years. The main driving factor would be a rise in demand for product in various end-industries such as detergents, personal care, industrial & institutional cleaning, agricultural chemicals, oilfield chemicals.
The broad usage of fabric softeners and development of apparel manufacturing is another factor for the rise in demand in industry. Natural surfactants are often used in the manufacture of laundry detergents. Moreover, the incorporation of emerging developments such as glucose-based surfactants for hard-water, and amino acid soaps produced from dodecenyl succinic anhydride, has anticipated the growth rate in the global industry. Polysaccharides and small molecular surfactants are two of the main classes of amphiphilic products on the market.
One of the most significant features of polymer surfactant systems is their capacity to monitor rheology and stability through a broad variety of compositions. Biodegradable, and biocompatible, non-toxic formulations of products dependent on emulsions have tremendous potential for use in food applications. The combination of different characteristics such as anti-adhesive, emulsifying, and antimicrobial action provided by bio-surfactants indicates a significant use as ingredients or additives for a variety of applications.
The global natural surfactants market has been segmented based on, product type, and application. Based on product type, the market is categorized into anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric natural surfactants. Based on application, the market is categorized into detergents, personal care, industrial & institutional cleaning, agricultural chemicals, oilfield chemicals and others.
The nonionic natural surfactants segment is expected to provide the highest CAGR over the coming years. The rise in sales of segment can be due to their end-use of shampoos, fabric softeners, and body wash, which is growing due to high demand in domestic and industrial use. Personal care is expected to be the fastest segment with a rising use of natural surfactants over the coming years. The growth in the market is expected due to the use of bio-based ingredients boosting the segment's demand for natural surfactants in the global industry.
The global natural surfactants market is cumulative to North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. Europe dominated the global natural surfactants market in 2018, however Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant pace through 2025.
Europe accounts for the largest market share in the natural surfactants industry due to the presence of some prominent players in the region. The number of applications such as detergents, personal care, and oilfield chemicals for the product can be due to improved demand for natural surfactants from Europe. The need for less harmful and biodegradable goods is the primary factor for the strong demand for natural surfactants in Europe. However, the growing issues over environmental safety has proliferated the demand in the market as a substitute to synthetic alternatives.
