Surfactants can also be fermented by microorganisms from organic waste, for example. The latest, already second edition of Ceresana\u2019s biobased surfactants market report forecasts that the global market for these green chemicals will experience sales growth to more than USD 32 billion by 2034. In North America, Ceresana\u2019s market researchers expect sales to increase by around 3%, and in other regions of the world by more than 6%. Surfactants are among the first everyday chemical products that are already being manufactured in large industrial plants from renewable raw materials, i.e. at least partly on the basis of biogenic materials such as sugar, corn, or vegetable oil.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”13573″ 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=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

Clean Bioeconomy<\/h2>\n

Washing powders and liquid detergents consist to a large extent of surfactants<\/a>, as these surface-active substances make it easier to remove dirt. In addition, surfactants can form a foam and enable the mixture of water and oil. Household detergents and natural cleaning products are by far the most important sales market for bio-based surfactants today, accounting for around 43% of global revenues. This is followed by personal care products and cosmetics as well as industrial cleaning agents. The versatile chemicals are used for a wide variety of applications, for example as emulsifiers in skin creams, as dispersing agents in paints<\/a> and printing inks<\/a>, as antistatic additives<\/a> in plastics<\/a> and textile fibers or as wetting agents in fertilizers and pesticides. There are surfactants in toothpaste as well as in cooling lubricants, extinguishing foam, disinfectants and contraceptives. One industrial application, for example, is ore extraction. Even companies in the oil industry can use biosurfactants to improve their eco-balance, for example in oilfield chemicals or for the bioremediation of contaminated areas.<\/p>\n

Sustainable Upcycling of Biomass<\/h2>\n

Bio-based surfactants not only reduce dependence on fossil raw materials, but also open up new recycling opportunities for organic residues, such as by-products from the paper industry and biofuel production or food waste from supermarkets. All surfactants have a water-repellent and a water-attracting part, both of which can be bio-based. Sugar surfactants can consist of coconut fatty alcohols and glucose, for example. The most important sugar surfactants at present are the high-foaming alkyl polyglycosides (APGs): non-ionic surfactants that can be produced purely on a plant basis. APGs are less sensitive to water hardness than anionic surfactants, effective at lower temperatures, skin-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable. With these environmentally friendly properties, APGs could become an alternative to linear alkylbenzene sulfates (LAS), the most widely used petrochemical surfactants today. Glycolipids are also considered a promising class of substances: These natural building blocks of cell membranes were one of the main topics of the international conference \u201cBiosurfactants 2025\u201d in Aachen, Germany. Surfactants are also often mixed with other chemicals, for example with complexing agents in detergents, which are ideally also available as organic versions. Blends of petrochemical and biogenic chemicals are marketed as \u201cbioattributed\u201d, \u201cproportionately biobased\u201d, or \u201cmass-balanced grades\u201d.<\/p>\n

Current Global Biobased Surfactants Market Report (2nd Edition):<\/h3>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong> of the new study by Ceresana provides a comprehensive analysis of the global biobased surfactants market \u2013 including growth forecasts up to 2034: 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. Demand<\/strong> and revenues<\/strong> are also broken down by individual application areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
