Surfactants is a term derived by
combining the term “surface active agents”. Surfactants are anphipatic
molecules that help lowering the surface tension of liquid. Surfactants usually
act as wetting agents, detergents, emulsifiers or as foaming agents.
Detergency, substantivity and conditioning are important properties of
surfactants owing to which surfactants are widely used in different industries.
The major applications of surfactants are in textile, oilfield chemicals,
cleaning, personal care, elastomers, food, plastics, crop protection,
pharmaceuticals, soap and detergents. Other verticals where surfactants are
used include pulp, paper, paints and coatings industries.

Two major types of surfactants are
bio-based surfactants and synthetic based surfactants. One of the major drivers
for bio-based surfactants are increased awareness among consumers towards
ecofriendly products. Moreover, low cost of synthetic surfactants and easy
availability is expected to trigger demand for surfactants. However,
consistently fluctuating prices of key feedstock materials is a major concern
for the manufacturers and is expected to limit the growth of surfactants. High
cost of bio-based surfactant is also one of the factors expected to restrict
the market growth of surfactant. The development and commercialization of cost
effective bio-based surfactant is expected to open new growth window for the
surfactant manufacturers. Apart from that expansion of application base of
surfactants is also expected to provide new growth opportunities for the
industry participants.
Europe is the largest consumer of
surfactants followed by North America, and Asia Pacific. Based on its type,
surfactants can be classified as anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants.
Anionic surfactants are heavily consumed across the globe. Nonionic surfactants
are mainly used in combination with alcohol and fatty acids.
