El mercado de soforolípidos se valoró en 374,85 mil dólares estadounidenses en 2019 y se prevé que alcance los 547,02 mil dólares estadounidenses en 2027; se espera que crezca a una tasa compuesta anual del 5,0 % entre 2020 y 2027.

Un soforolípido se conoce como un compuesto glicolípido tensoactivo que puede sintetizarse mediante un grupo seleccionado número de especies de levaduras no patógenas. Son biotensioactivos potenciales debido a su biodegradabilidad y baja ecotoxicidad. Los soforolípidos se producen comercialmente a partir de aceite vegetal y glucosa añadiendo una levadura no patógena, llamada Candida bombicola. La demanda de soforolípidos está aumentando en muchas industrias de uso final, como la petrolera y energética, agrícola, química, farmacéutica, médica y sanitaria, y de bienes de consumo; por lo tanto, este mercado de soforolípidos está en rápido auge.

En 2019, Europa dominó el mercado mundial de soforolípidos debido al aumento de la producción y el consumo de soforolípidos en los países desarrollados y en desarrollo. economías de Europa. Los países económicamente desarrollados como Alemania, el Reino Unido y Rusia presencian un crecimiento significativo en la implementación de soluciones tecnológicamente avanzadas. En la región están creciendo diversas industrias como la química, farmacéutica, de polímeros, agroquímicos y cosméticos y detergentes, lo que está impulsando el crecimiento del mercado de soforolípidos en la región. El mercado de soforolípidos en Europa está creciendo debido a sus propiedades de biodegradabilidad del 100%. La Unión Europea (UE) tiene un mercado establecido para biosurfactantes que cubriría casi la mitad de la demanda mundial total. Se prevé que esta tendencia impulse el mercado de soforolípidos en Europa durante el período previsto.

El brote de COVID-19 se informó por primera vez en Wuhan, China, en diciembre de 2019. De noviembre de 2020, EE. UU., Brasil, India, Rusia, Sudáfrica, México y el Reino Unido se encuentran entre los países más afectados en términos de casos confirmados y muertes reportadas de COVID-19. Los bloqueos, las prohibiciones de viaje y el cierre de empresas están afectando negativamente a las economías y las industrias de varios países. La industria química y de materiales es una de las principales industrias que enfrenta graves perturbaciones debido al cierre de oficinas y fábricas y a las interrupciones en la cadena de suministro.

Perspectivas del mercado

Importancia creciente de los productos químicos de origen biológico

< p>El crecimiento del mercado mundial de soforolípidos está impulsado por la creciente importancia de los productos químicos de origen biológico para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. El soforolípido se deriva principalmente de fuentes naturales y es una alternativa a los productos petroquímicos como detergentes y pesticidas. Los soforolípidos se fabrican comercialmente a partir de aceite vegetal y glucosa añadiendo una levadura no patógena, Candida bombicola. Los soforolípidos son tensioactivos preparados mediante la fermentación de especies de levaduras no patógenas. Estos combinan principalmente una química verde con una baja huella de carbono y, por lo tanto, cumplen ciertos criterios ecológicos importantes. Los soforolípidos demuestran efectos sinérgicos junto con otros tensioactivos secundarios en aplicaciones de espuma y limpieza. Muchas otras propiedades, como temperaturas, estabilidad en amplios rangos de pH y salinidad, fácil biodegradabilidad, capacidad de ser activo en agua dura y actividad superficial adecuada, que poseen los soforolípidos demuestran que son superiores a los tensioactivos sintéticos. Los soforolípidos generalmente están disponibles en dos formas: lactónica y ácida. Las formas lactónicas exhiben mejores actividades biocidas, citotóxicas y proinflamatorias y también son buenos agentes anticancerígenos. Las formas ácidas, por otro lado, son mejores agentes espumantes junto con una mayor solubilidad en agua. Además, se utiliza en diversas aplicaciones en las industrias alimentaria, cosmética y de biorremediación. Todos estos factores en conjunto impulsan el crecimiento del mercado de soforolípidos.

Información sobre tipos

Según el tipo, el mercado de soforolípidos se divide en soforolípidos ácidos y soforolípido lactónico. El segmento de soforolípidos ácidos lideró el mercado con una mayor participación de mercado en 2019. Los soforolípidos ácidos son producidos por una variedad de especies de levadura, especialmente Starmerella bombicola. Los soforolípidos ácidos son moléculas anfifílicas y, por tanto, poseen las características de los tensioactivos. Como biosurfactantes, tienen varias ventajas potenciales sobre los tensioactivos sintéticos, como menor toxicidad, mayor biodegradabilidad y capacidad de fabricación de bajo costo. Las formas ácidas son agentes espumantes más fuertes con mayor solubilidad en agua y se utilizan en las industrias láctea, cosmética y de biorremediación, que impulsan el crecimiento del mercado del segmento de soforolípidos ácidos.

Application Insights

Según la aplicación, el mercado de soforolípidos se segmenta en detergentes domésticos, cuidado personal, procesamiento de alimentos, limpiadores industriales e institucionales, productos químicos para yacimientos petrolíferos y otros. El segmento de detergentes domésticos lideró el mercado con la mayor participación en 2019. Los soforolípidos son eficaces en la limpieza de superficies duras y en formulaciones de ayuda para el lavado automático de platos debido a su bajo perfil de formación de espuma combinado con sus propiedades de actividad superficial, que son de interés potencial en aplicaciones adicionales. Los soforolípidos también tienen un perfil ambiental sobresaliente con una eficiencia excelente; lo que lo hace adecuado para aplicaciones domésticas. Este factor aumenta las ventas de productos de soforolípidos a través de detergentes domésticos.

Frequently Asked Questions


Based on type, why is the acidic sophorolipid segment expected to grow at the highest rate during 2019-2027?

The growth of the acidic sophorolipid segment is primarily attributed to the fact that acidic sophorolipids are amphiphilic molecules and thus possess the characteristics of surfactants; however, as bio-surfactants they have many advantages over synthetic surfactants, including low toxicity, biodegradability, and low-cost manufacturing capacity. Acidic forms are stronger foaming agents with higher water solubility and are used in the dairy, cosmetics, and bioremediation industries. Acid sophorolipid (ASL), a bola amphiphilic substance, confers a surfactant to a crude sophorolipid. The two hydrophilic ends of the oleic acid hydrophobic skeleton contain sophorose and a carboxylic group. This makes ASL an outstanding drug delivery vehicle comparable to other bola amphiphiles. ASL is a simple, water-soluble, mono-component, and stimulus-responsive molecule. All these factors are responsible for the acidic sophorolipid segment to grow at the highest rate.
