The latest market report by Ceresana shows that surfactants are currently sold worldwide for more than USD 49 billion per year. The surfactants market analysis forecasts further sales growth of 3.6% per year on average for the surfactant industry until 2033. The Asia-Pacific region is by far the largest consumer of surfactants with more than a third of the world market share.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”9825″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”50%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

Surfactants Market Shows Variety of Applications<\/h2>\n

Surfactants are used in numerous market segments. Washing powder and liquid detergents for households are the most important area of application, currently accounting for around 55% of total demand for surfactants. Demand in this application area is only expected to increase relatively slightly. Ceresana anticipates high growth rates for surfactant applications such as cosmetics and personal care products, such as toothpaste, disinfectants, and contraceptives. However, the market study forecasts the largest surfactants market size increase of around 2.8% per year for surfactant consumption by manufacturers of plastics, paints, and coatings.
\nThe demand for surfactants is also a relevant factor in other sectors. Examples of this are the use in cooling lubricants for metal processing, auxiliary materials in the textile and leather industry, or wetting agents in agricultural chemistry. Surfactants contribute to the fluidity of printing ink and enable paper recycling. Additional surfactants markets include construction chemicals, fire-fighting foams, and flotation chemicals for ore processing and oil extraction.<\/p>\n

Surfactant Types and Their Market Potential<\/h2>\n

Surfactants are primarily produced from crude oil, but increasingly also from bio-based raw materials such as sugar, vegetable oils, or vegetable soaps. A distinction is made between anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants according to their electrical charge. The new study by Ceresana provides important key figures on production, demand, import and export, but also on individual types of surfactants. Anionic surfactants have a global market share of just under 49% and are therefore currently the most important type of surfactant. These include linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) in particular, which foam strongly and have a high washing power, but are not completely biodegradable and are therefore increasingly facing more environmentally friendly competition on the market.<\/p>\n

Fourth Edition of the Ceresana Market Study \u201cSurfactants \u2013 World Report\u201d:<\/h2>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong> of the new study by Ceresana provides a comprehensive analysis of the global surfactant market \u2013 including forecasts up to 2033: The development of demand<\/strong> (in tonnes) and revenues<\/strong> (in USD and EUR) is explained for each of the following regions: Western and Eastern Europe, North and South America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The demand for surfactants is also broken down for the individual application areas<\/strong>.
\nIn addition, demand, production<\/strong>, and revenues are broken down by product types<\/strong>. Anionic, cationic, nonionic, and other surfactants are considered individually. Moreover, the group of anionic surfactants is further subdivided into alkylbenzene sulfonates [LAS], alkyl sulfates \/ alkyl ether sulfates \/ alcohol ethoxy sulfates [FAS\/FAES\/AES], and other anionic surfactants. The group of nonionic surfactants is subdivided into fatty alcohol ethoxylates [FAEO], other ethoxylates, and other nonionic surfactants (e.g. pure fatty alcohols, alkyl polyglycosides).<\/p>\n

In Chapter 2<\/strong>, the surfactant market is analyzed individually for 42 countries<\/strong>. The demand for and revenues generated with surfactants are shown in each case. The production of and trade with surfactants are shown for the anionic, cationic, nonionic, and other surfactant groups. In addition, market demand is broken down into the various application areas and product types:<\/p>\n
