[Research Report] The natural surfactants market is expected to grow from US$ 11,558.34 million in 2021 to US$ 16,069.28 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2028.

Natural surfactants are derived from different types of plants. Common sources include coconut or palm, but they can also be derived from other types of vegetables and fruits. In addition, natural surfactants can also be produced from industrial wastes and by-products. Natural surfactants were more easily biodegradable than their synthetic counterparts due to their biological origin.

In 2021, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global natural surfactants market. Major factors driving the natural surfactants market in Asia Pacific are increasing awareness of the benefits of natural surfactants and their increasing use in different applications such as detergents, cosmetics and personal care, industrial cleaning, and agriculture. Chemically synthesized surfactants, being petroleum-based, are usually nonbiodegradable and toxic to the environment. The production processes of synthetic surfactants and by-products can be hazardous to the environment. As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need to protect the environment. Therefore, the use of natural surfactants is increasing in the region, which is driving the natural surfactant market growth in Asia Pacific.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Natural Surfactants Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the natural surfactant market has been mainly driven by their increasing use in various industries such as personal care, detergents, industrial and institutional cleaning, oilfield chemicals, agriculture chemicals, and others. However, in 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions in key raw materials and hampered manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities in numerous countries. The demand for natural surfactants from various industries decreased owing to the shutdown of the industries.

The demand for personal hygiene and homecare goods grew due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has positively impacted the production of natural surfactants for households and other applications. Moreover, the natural surfactant has a key role in combatting the pandemic. Common natural surfactants are used in soaps and other personal cleansing products, laundry detergents, and solid surface cleaners to deactivate SARS-CoV-2 and remove it from the skin and other surfaces.

Market Insights

Increasing Demand for Detergents in Household Application

With the rising prevalence of infectious diseases, especially COVID-19, people are becoming more aware of cleanliness and hygiene. The significance of hand sanitization, hygiene, and cleanliness has increased because of the rapidly emerging infectious diseases such as norovirus and influenza. The need for detergents in household applications is growing due to the increased usage of laundry detergents and household cleaning goods.

Detergents are commonly used for cleaning because they connect water and oil, making them effective against oily stains and grease. Healthcare professionals are running hygiene awareness campaigns in several developing nations to draw customers' attention and raise awareness. As a result, consumers’ demand for personal care and household cleaning goods is increasing.

Type Insights

Based on type, the global natural surfactants market is segmented into anionic, cationic, non ionic, and amphoteric. The anionic segment held the largest natural surfactants market share in 2021. Anionic surfactants are characterized by a negatively charged hydrophilic polar group. They are the most commonly used surfactants owing to their best cleaning power and a large amount of foam produced. These surfactants are the best at cleaning, as they clean using charged repulsion. Anionic surfactants are excellent in removing dirt, clay, and some oily stains. These anionic surfactants can be found in shampoos, shower gels, toothpaste, etc. Glutamate, potassium cocoate, isethionate, and sodium coco sulfate are some of the examples of natural anionic surfactants.
