Biosurfactants Market Overview - Industry Top Manufactures, Market Size, Industry Growth Analysis & Forecast: 2020
16 January 2020 - The Global Biosurfactants
Market is anticipated to reach
462 kilo tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR of around 4% from 2014 to 2020.
Absence of direct bio based substitutes of these product is expected to be one
of the major factor driving the market over the forecast period.
Bio
surfactants are surface-active compounds manufactured from several bio-based
raw materials such as plant oil, plant carbohydrate and animal oil.
Biosurfactants are excellent alternatives for synthetic surfactants and are the
best emulsifiers that helps in maintaining, temperature & pH tolerance,
antimicrobial, wet & foaming properties. Few other factors such as growth
of the global personal care industry and rising environmental concern over
consumption of synthetic surfactants are yet another factor expected to drive
the product demand.

Detergents
and personal care products are its main end use applications. Bio surfactants
such as APE (Alkyl phenol ethoxylates) &LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfates)
have been also used as substitutes for synthetic ones in sewage treatment
plants. Environmental friendly nature, non-toxicity, low irritancy,
biodegradability and safety of handling these products are some of the major
advantages for these over the synthetic ones.
New
production techniques and increasing applications in bioremediation, oilfield
chemicals, industrial and institutional cleaners are anticipated to create new
opportunities for the industry. However, these products being costlier compared
to the synthetic ones and its low availability are expected to restraint the
market in the new future.
Product Insight:
Methyl
Ester Sulfonate (MES) was the largest product segment in 2013 accounting for
over 30% of the overall market. Increasing consumer awareness for bio based
products makes it the preferred choice for the manufacturer in the present
scenario. Demand of other products including sucrose esters, alkyl
polyglucosides (apg), and sorbitan esters are also anticipated to increase in
the next six years.
Other
bio Surfactants namely non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic
surfactants and polymeric surfactants are used as emulsifying agents in a wide
range of end use segments such as textiles, personal care, construction, fuel
sectors, and paper. Some of its important properties include its versatility,
electrolytic, shear & thermal stability. Another product named rhamnolipids
are used to degrade waste of hydrocarbons and also plays a major role in the
cosmetic industry.
Application Insight:
Major
applications of biosurfactants include food processing, textiles, agricultural
chemical, household detergents, personal care, bioremediation, oilfield
chemicals, industrial and institutional cleaners. Currently, these products
have found various applications in oil field chemical owing to their cleaning
abilities and stability.
