The global market for
biosurfactants is expected to reach USD 2,308.8 million by 2020, according to a
new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Escalating consumer preference towards
the use of bio-based products, particularly in Europe and North America is expected
to increase biosurfactant penetration. In addition, stringent regulatory
policies are further expected to augment the biosurfactant demand over the next
six years.
Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES)
was the largest consumed biosurfactant, accounting for 33.26% of the 344 kilo
ton global market in 2013. Its superior properties in terms of foaming and
stability as compared to other surfactants make it ideally suited for use in
household detergents. Other key biosurfactants include Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG),
Sorbitan Esters and Sucrose Esters, with combined demand estimated at 115 kilo
tons in 2013.
In depth research report on Biosurfactants Market
Further key findings from the study suggest:
•
The global biosurfactant market
is expected to reach 462 kilo tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2014
to 2020.
•
Household detergent was the
largest application segment, consuming 153.5 kilo tons of biosurfactants in
2013. Growing demand for sustainable products in cleaning applications is
expected to boost the demand for biosurfactants over the forecast period.
•
Personal care applications are
expected to gain significant share owing to the growing market for these
products in Asia Pacific. In addition, growing consumer awareness regarding
benefits of bio-based personal care products is expected to have a positive
influence on the market. The demand for biosurfactants in personal care is
expected to reach 50.7 kilo tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2014
to 2020.
•
Europe was the largest regional
market for biosurfactants, with consumption of 178.9 kilo tons in 2013. High
consumer awareness and demand for bio-based products is a key reason for the
high penetration of biosurfactants. Asia Pacific was a relatively small market
in 2013 but is expected to gain significant share over the next six years owing
to the presence of large manufacturing industries in the region.
•
The global biosurfactants
market is consolidated with the top five companies catering to nearly 90% of
global demand. Key players in the market include BASF Cognis, Ecover, Urumqui
Unite, Saraya and MG Intobio.
