Surfactants Market to see 6% CAGR to 2019 - BioSurfactants Growth Driven by Environmental Concerns on Use of Synthetic Surfactants

DALLAS, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Global surfactants market is forecast to grow at 6.02% CAGR over the period 2015-2019 while the worldwide biosurfactants industry is set to see a 6.14% CAGR during the same period according to new surfactants market research reports available with ReportsnReports.com.

Complete report on surfactants market spread across 96 pages, talking about 5 companies and supported with 51 exhibits is now available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/global-surfactants-market-2015-2019-market-report.html .

Growing awareness about bio-based products is intensifying growth in the global surfactants market according to this new research. This report segments surfactants market into product type (anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric), substrate (synthetic and bio-based), applications (household detergents, industrial cleaners, personal care, oilfield chemicals, paints and coatings, construction chemicals, crop protection chemicals, emulsion polymerization, food, and others) and geography (APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and ROW). Growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products is leading to increased investment in R&D and new products are being launched using bio-based surfactants.

Moreover, rise in urbanization, increase in per capita income, change in lifestyles, and economic stability are factors contributing to the growth of the surfactants market in developing regions such as Asia, and South and Central America. An increase in awareness of the harmful aspects of synthetic surfactants has resulted in a shift to bio-based surfactants. Health and environmental risks concerned with synthetic surfactants have forced governments to impose regulations to protect the environment and the consumers. Rising demand for personal care products, shale gas exploration and growing urbanization in developing countries are the major surfactants market drivers discussed in this research report. Growing awareness about bio-based products, M&A as well as stringent enforcement of environmental laws are the trends of the worldwide surfactants market.

Companies like Air Products & Chemicals, AkzoNobel, Evonik Industries, Henkel, Huntsman, BASF, Clariant, Croda International, Dow Chemical, Dupont, KAO and Stepan are mentioned in the global surfactants market 2015-2019 research report available for purchase at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/contacts/purchase?rname=389656 .

Biodegradability standards and vegetal composition are features that can sway a buyer to opt for bio-surfactants over other synthetic products. In general, consumers are willing to pay a higher premium for household and personal care products that use bio-based surfactants as they are safer to use compared with synthetic products.

Biosurfactants like sophorolipids have great skin compatibility and moisturizing properties, which has made personal care products that contain bio-based surfactants a popular option among consumers. The Global Bio-Surfactants Market 2015-2019 research report indicates that several companies are working on commercializing technology to manufacture biosurfactants based products, in order to meet the demand from various industrial sectors ranging from cosmetics to bio-pharmaceuticals. GlycoSurf is a company that has achieved a breakthrough in producing more than 95% pure sugar-based bio-surfactants using a large-scale but also cost-effective and scalable process.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global biosurfactants market for the period 2015-2019. The report also provides data on the segments of the biosurfactants market by product (MES, APG, sorbitan esters, sucrose esters, rhamnolipids, and others), application (detergents and fabric softeners, cosmetics and personal care, industrial and institutional cleaners, food processing, oilfield chemicals , pharmaceuticals, textiles, and others) and geography (Europe, North America, APAC, and ROW).

This brand new biosurfactants market research has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. It also provides an extensive coverage on various applications and types of biosurfactants, considering both the existing market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report provides key vendor information based on production of bio-surfactants by each vendor.

Another report available with RnRMarketResearch.com and titled Surfactants Market by Product Type (Anionic, Non-Ionic, Cationic,& Amphoteric), by Substrate Type (Synthetic, & Bio-Based), by Application (Soap Industry, Personal Care Industry, Textile Industry, Industry & Institutional Cleaning, Elastomers & Plastics Industry, Oilfield Chemicals, Crop Protection, Food Industry,& Others) - Trends & Forecast to 2020 says globally, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest consumer of surfactants, followed by North America and Europe. Anionic surfactants segment is estimated to witness the largest consumption volume, globally, in the near future. The applications covered include soaps/detergents, personal care, textiles, I&I cleaning, elastomers and plastics, oilfield chemicals, food, crop protection, and other applications, such as the pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, and pulp & paper industries. The price trends of surfactants have been analyzed from annual reports of the key players of the industry. The synthetic surfactants have drivers, such as easy availability, low price, and broadened application areas; whereas drivers for bio-based surfactants are their ecological benefits, wide range of substrates available and increasing awareness towards eco-friendly products. Synthetic surfactants hold a matured market, globally, and the restraints for this market are the volatile petroleum prices and the increasing environmental concerns. On the contrary, the bio-based surfactants market is in its initial stages of growth, and the restraints identified in the market are technical constraints, their prices (when compared to synthetic surfactants), and unskilled workforce. The opportunity for synthetic surfactants is its use in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome; whereas the opportunities for bio-based surfactants are cited in the utilization of industrial and agricultural wastes, and usage of bio surfactants in unconventional markets. Companies like Akzonobel N.V., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc, BASF SE, Clariant AG, Dupont Ei De Nemours & Co., Evonik Industries AG, Henkel AG & Co. KGAA, Huntsman Corporation (Huntsman International LLC), KAO Corporation and The DOW Chemical Company are profiled in this research available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/surfactants-market-by-product-types-anionic-non-ionic-cationic-amphoteric-substrates-syntheticpetrochemical-bio-based-naturalgreen-geography-applications-global-industry-trend-market-report.html .
