Natural Surfactants Market to Perceive Substantial Growth During 2026
Surfactants
are generally known as surface active agents. Natural surfactants are
directly taken from a natural source, which can be either plant or
animal. They are obtained through some kind of natural separation
methods such as extraction, precipitation, or distillation.
Processing of natural surfactants does not include any organic
synthesis, not even after treatment. Examples of natural surfactants
include surfactants produced from bacteria and yeast, surfactants
based on either sugar or amino acid as polar head group, and
surfactants based on either fatty acid or sterol as hydrophobic tail.
Natural surfactants produced though the methods mentioned above are
well characterized and offer performance similar to that of
conventional surfactants. The cost of biotechnologically produced
surfactants is high due to the relatively low yield in fermentation
and cumbersome work-up procedures. Surfactants based on either
natural polar head group or natural hydrophobic tail exhibit
significant potential.

Natural Surfactants Market: Segmentation
Based
on product type, the natural surfactants market can be segmented into
nonionic, amphoteric, cationic, ethoxylates, and anionic. Nearly 2500
kilo tons of ethoxylates was produced in Europe in 2016. In terms of
application, the market can be divided into personal care, cosmetics,
detergents, industrial & institutional cleaning, oilfield
chemicals, and others. In 2017, Clariant developed ‘GlucoPure,’ a
natural bio-based surfactant used in dishwashing liquids. Nonionic
natural surfactants are categorized into different classes of
surfactants, which do not undergo ionization when dissolved in water.
Nonionic natural surfactants are stable and are not easily affected
by strong electrolytes. They are compatible with anionic, cationic,
or amphoteric surfactants. Increase in usage of surfactants in
detergents, wetting agents, solubilizers, and emulsifiers in various
applications is driving the nonionic segment. Implementation of
stringent regulations on toxic chemical substances and rise in
consumer preference for personal care products manufactured using
bio-based ingredients are boosting the personal care segment of the
natural surfactants market. Growth in population and increase in
usage of cosmetics are also estimated to boost the personal care
segment during the forecast period.

Natural Surfactants Market: Regional Outlook
In
terms of region, Europe dominated the global natural surfactants
market in 2017. Europe and North America cumulatively accounted for
more than 60% share of the global natural surfactants market in 2017.
Rise in demand for natural surfactants in Europe can be ascribed to
the rapid growth in end-use industries such as personal care,
oilfield chemicals, and detergents. Asia Pacific is an emerging
region of the global natural surfactants market, led by the presence
of many manufacturers in the region. China is the prominent country
of the natural surfactants market in Asia Pacific. Demand for natural
surfactants is expected to increase in China and India during the
forecast period owing to the rise in demand for cosmetics and
grooming products in the personal care segment in these countries.
Increase in demand for less toxic and highly biodegradable natural
surfactant products is driving the global natural surfactant market.
The natural surfactants market in North America, Europe, and Asia
Pacific is estimated to expand at a rapid pace, while that in Latin
America and Middle East & Africa is projected to expand at a
moderate pace during the forecast period

Natural Surfactants Market: Key Players
Prominent
companies operating in the global natural surfactants market include
Galaxy Surfactants, Clariant, BASF S.E., Lonza, Air Products and
Chemical Company, Stepan, and Huntsman Corporation. In October 2018,
Lonza has invested in its range of polyglycerol ester based natural
surfactants to investigate all the properties, functionalities under
various conditions, and understand the potential of the ingredient.
Polyglycerol ester based natural surfactants are described by the
company as an attractive green alternative to the current nonionic
surfactants.
