Global Natural Surfactants (Bio-based) Market 2018-2022 - Focus on Detergents, Personal Care, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning, and Oilfield Chemicals

DUBLIN, March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Natural Surfactants Market (Bio-based Surfactants) by Product Type (Anionic, Nonionic, Cationic, and Amphoteric), Application (Detergents, Personal Care, Industrial & Institutional cleaning, and Oilfield Chemicals) & Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) is estimated to be USD 13.47 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 17.27 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2017 and 2022.

Implementation of stringent regulations on using conventional surfactants is driving the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) in different applications. The growing use of natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) in detergents, personal care, and oilfield chemicals is also fueling the growth of the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants), globally.

Based on product type, the nonionic natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) segment of the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to their end use in fabric softeners, shampoos, and body wash, which is increasing with the growth in the textile and personal care industries.

Based on application, personal care is projected to be the fastest-growing application of natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) during the forecast period. Increasing consumer awareness of the usage of bio-based ingredients is expected to drive the demand for natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) in this segment.

Europe accounted for the largest share of the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) in 2016, followed by North America. Increased demand for natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) from Europe can be attributed to the rapidly growing applications, such as detergents, personal care, and oilfield chemicals. The demand for less toxic and highly biodegradable products due to rising concerns regarding environmental protection is the major reason for the high demand for natural surfactants (bio-based surfactants) in Europe.

Time-consuming and expensive legislative requirements are seen as a major restraint in the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) . Several manufacturers develop newer products to be competitive in the market, but compliance with the regulatory mandates for every product would be time-consuming and costly.

Companies operating in the natural surfactants market (bio-based surfactants) include AkzoNobel (Netherlands), BASF (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (US), Croda International (UK), Huntsman (US), Clariant (Switzerland),Stepan Company (US) and Kao Corporation (Japan).

These players have adopted strategies such as new product launches, expansions, and mergers & acquisitions to enhance their market shares and expand their distribution networks, globally. These companies engage in R&D activities to innovate and develop products that can open avenues for new end-use industries.

For instance, in October 2017, Clariant has developed a new product GlucoPure, which is a renewable surfactant used in hand dishwashing liquid. In February 2016, Air Products and Chemicals Company added two new products to its additives portfolio, namely, Surfynol 107L surfactant and ZetaSperse 3800 dispersant. The addition of these products has helped the company expand its offerings for formulators. These developments have helped enhance the company's product portfolio.
