Información del mercado y opinión del analista:
Los biosurfactantes se conocen como compuestos tensioactivos que pueden sintetizarse mediante un número seleccionado de toxicidad. Además de la biodegradabilidad, la baja toxicidad y el alto potencial de producción, los biosurfactantes tienen una alta actividad superficial e interfacial. Los biosurfactantes se utilizan ampliamente en productos agrícolas, como pesticidas y otros productos químicos, en detergentes para uso residencial, médico y sanitario; en productos cosméticos y de cuidado personal, como champú, líquidos para lavar hachís, jabón y muchos otros productos. Debido a la creciente demanda de biosurfactantes de muchas industrias de uso final, incluidas las de petróleo y energía, agricultura, química, farmacéutica, médica y sanitaria, bienes de consumo y otras, este mercado está en auge día a día. Este factor está impulsando significativamente el mercado mundial de biosurfactantes.
Impulsores de crecimiento y desafíos:
Los biosurfactantes ofrecen varias ventajas sobre los surfactantes químicos, como alta biodegradabilidad, diversidad de propiedades biológicas y características renovables que se sintetizan como una mezcla de diferentes moléculas. Los biosurfactantes tienen diversas propiedades, incluida la actividad antimicrobiana y antioxidante, que permiten su aplicación en diferentes industrias, como la de detergentes y cuidado personal. También son muy eficientes para reducir las tensiones superficiales e interfaciales. Además, el aumento del nivel de vida, el aumento de la población, el aumento de la urbanización, el aumento de los lanzamientos de productos innovadores y la mayor concienciación de los consumidores sobre la salud y la higiene son factores clave que impulsan la demanda de detergentes y productos de limpieza domésticos en todo el mundo. Además, diversas actividades y campañas de marketing realizadas por los actores del mercado generan conciencia sobre los productos detergentes como geles, monodosis y líquidos entre los consumidores. En los últimos años, el mercado de productos de limpieza en China ha ido creciendo de manera constante. Sin embargo, los fabricantes enfrentan desafíos para lograr una producción industrial que sea económicamente viable para producir biosurfactantes. El costo de producir biosurfactantes es alto debido a los menores rendimientos en comparación con los surfactantes sintéticos comerciales. Los altos costos de las materias primas, la costosa purificación y el procesamiento posterior afectan el costo de producción. La principal desventaja de los biosurfactantes es su alto precio, que es un factor importante que disminuye la demanda de biosurfactantes.

Análisis segmentario:
Según el tipo, el mercado de biosurfactantes se segmenta en soforolípidos, ramnolípidos, lípidos de manosileritritol (MEL), alquilpoliglucósidos (APG), surfactina, fosfolípidos, poliméricos, y otros. El segmento de soforolípidos tuvo la mayor participación de mercado en 2022. Los soforolípidos son una clase de biosurfactantes glicolípidos producidos por levaduras, principalmente Candida bombicola. Estas moléculas poseen excelentes propiedades tensioactivas, lo que las hace valiosas en diversas aplicaciones, como productos de cuidado personal, detergentes, aditivos alimentarios, productos farmacéuticos y saneamiento ambiental. En cosmética, los soforolípidos han ganado terreno como emulsionantes y agentes espumantes naturales y biodegradables. Su capacidad para estabilizar las formulaciones y al mismo tiempo ser suaves con la piel se alinea con la creciente preferencia de los consumidores por productos ecológicos y respetuosos con la piel. Según la aplicación, el mercado de biosurfactantes se segmenta en detergentes domésticos, cuidado personal, limpiadores industriales e institucionales, procesamiento de alimentos, productos químicos para yacimientos petrolíferos, procesamiento de cuero, agricultura, productos farmacéuticos y otros. La participación del segmento de detergentes domésticos en el mercado de biosurfactantes fue notable en 2022. Los biosurfactantes han mostrado resultados efectivos en la limpieza de superficies duras y en formulaciones de ayuda para el lavado automatizado de platos. Esto se debe en parte a su bajo perfil de formación de espuma y a sus propiedades de actividad superficial, que son potencialmente interesantes en aplicaciones adicionales. Combinan un excelente perfil medioambiental con una excelente eficiencia y, por tanto, son adecuados para su uso en productos comerciales domésticos.

Desarrollos industriales y oportunidades futuras:
A continuación se enumeran varias iniciativas tomadas por los actores clave que operan en el mercado de biosurfactantes:
En marzo de 2023, Holiferm Ltd y Sasol Chemicals, una unidad de negocios de Sasol Ltd., anunciaron una colaboración para producir y comercializar ramnolípidos y lípidos de manosil eritritol (MEL). Esta colaboración amplía la asociación anunciada en marzo de 2022 entre las dos empresas para desarrollar y comercializar otro producto biosurfactante, los soforolípidos. Impacto de COVID-19:
La pandemia de COVID-19 afectó a varias industrias en varios países. Los bloqueos, las restricciones de viaje y el cierre de negocios en América del Norte, Europa, Asia Pacífico (APAC), América del Sur y Central (SAM) y Medio Oriente y África (MEA) obstaculizaron el crecimiento de varias industrias, incluida la industria química y de materiales. . El cierre de unidades de fabricación perturbó las cadenas de suministro globales, las actividades de fabricación, los cronogramas de entrega y las ventas de productos esenciales y no esenciales. Varias empresas informaron de retrasos en las entregas de productos y de una caída en sus ventas en 2020. Debido a la recesión económica inducida por la pandemia, los consumidores se volvieron cautelosos y selectivos en sus decisiones de compra. Los consumidores redujeron significativamente las compras no esenciales debido a menores ingresos y perspectivas de ingresos inciertas, especialmente en las regiones en desarrollo. Muchos fabricantes de biosurfactantes enfrentaron una disminución de sus ganancias debido a la reducción de la demanda de los consumidores durante la fase inicial de la pandemia. Sin embargo, a finales de 2021, muchos países estaban completamente vacunados y los gobiernos de varios países anunciaron una flexibilización de ciertas regulaciones, incluidos cierres y prohibiciones de viaje. La gente empezó a viajar a diferentes lugares, lo que aumentó la demanda de biosurfactantes. Todos estos factores están impulsando el crecimiento del mercado de biosurfactantes en diferentes regiones.
