Surfactants Market

Global Surfactants Market Size, Share, Trends, Forecast: By Type: Cationic Surfactants, Anionic Surfactants, Non-ionic Surfactants, Amphoteric Surfactants, Others; By End Use: Household Detergents, Personal Care, Institutional and Industrial Cleaners, Food Processing, Plastics, Others; Regional Analysis; Competitive Landscape; 2024-2032

Global Surfactants Market Outlook

The global surfactants market stood at a value of around USD 50.59 billion in 2023. The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2024-2032 at a CAGR of 5.20% to reach USD 79.82 billion by 2032.

 

Anionic Surfactant Type Holds a Significant Share in the Global Surfactants Industry

The anionic surfactants segment based on type accounts for a significant share in the market owing to the low cost and easy availability of the product. In addition to this, anionic surfactants carry a negative charge which allows them to bind to impurities and particles present in the liquid, further removing the same to facilitate cleaning. Additionally, the rising utilisation of anionic surfactants in low-moisture carpet cleaners and traditional shampoos is likely to propel the growth of the segment.

The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share in the Global Market for Surfactants

The surfactants industry in the Asia Pacific is driven by the thriving home and personal care industry in emerging countries like India, China, and others. This can be attributed to the rising standards of living and increasing disposable incomes in these countries. A significant shift among the rural population towards premium home cleaning products is likely to bolster the market growth in the forecast period. Furthermore, the rapid urbanisation, coupled with the development of supermarkets and hypermarkets is anticipated to propel the demand for surfactant-based products in the region, thereby aiding the market.

 

Surfactants: Market Segmentation

Surfactants are defined as surface-active agents which when added to liquid, increase their spreading and wetting properties. Surfactants contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. Hydrophobic allows the molecule to interact with water while the hydrophilic part moves away from the water, helping remove dirt and impurities.
