Sophorolipids Market to Observe Strong Development by 2024
Sophorolipids
are surfactants formed by the fermentation of a selected number of
non-pathogenic yeast species. These combine green chemistry with low
carbon footprint, and hence fulfil certain important eco-friendly
criteria. Sophorolipids demonstrate synergistic effects with other
secondary surfactants in foaming and cleaning applications. Numerous
other properties possessed by sophorolipids make them superior to
synthetic surfactants. These include stability in wide ranges of pH,
temperatures, and salinity; ability to be active in hard water; easy
biodegradability, and adequate surface activity. Sophorolipids are
generally found in two forms: lactonic and acidic. Lactonic forms
exhibit better biocidal, cytotoxic, and pro-inflammatory activities
and are good anti-cancer agents. Acidic forms, on the other hand, are
better foaming agents with higher water solubility and find
applications in the food, cosmetics, and bioremediation industries.

Report Overview @
There
was a significant time gap between the discovery of sophorolipids and
their market commercialization. Sophorolipids have been known for
decades; however, market commercialization was delayed due to factors
such as competition from existing surfactants, high production cost,
variable and unpredictable composition, and lack of a dedicated
formulation. However, recent developments in technology have lifted
quite a few roadblocks, making sophorolipids feasible, both
technologically and economically. The sophorolipids market is at a
nascent stage; however, large corporations are increasingly using
these bio-surfactants to manufacture various products. Sophorolipids
find applications in major industries such as agriculture, food,
cosmetics, detergents, biomedicine, and bioremediation.
Europe
is a major market for sophorolipids due to their nearly 100%
biodegradability property. The European Union has an established
bio-surfactants market that would account for nearly half of the
total global demand. Europe is a global leader in both production and
consumption of bio-surfactants. Major drivers of the sophorolipids
market include environmental concerns, regulatory compliance, and
fluctuating oil prices. Demand for sophorolipids is likely to
increase in applications such as detergents and cosmetics where
environmental concerns are more prominent. Sophorolipids can replace
several major synthetic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl
ether, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and trimethylglycine.
Allied
Carbon Solutions Ltd., DSM Nutritional Products, Ecover Belgium,
Groupe Soliance, Henkel, Kaneka Co., MG Intobio Co. Ltd., Saraya Co.
Ltd., and Synthezyme LLC are the major players in the sophorolipids
market. These companies produce sophorolipids and either use them in
their own brands or provide them as ingredients in products of
companies operating in various industries. Most of these companies
are based in the U.S., Japan, or Europe. The newest entrant in this
market is Evonik Industries AG, which sees huge potential for growth
in the sophorolipids market in the next few years due to improved
technology and better economies of scale as compared to a few years
ago.
