[Research Report] The sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market size is expected to grow from US$ 334.88 million in 2022 to US$ 541.63 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2030.
Market Insights and Analyst View:
Sophorolipids and rhamnolipids are extracted from natural sources. Raw materials required for the manufacturing of sophorolipid are vegetable oil; sugar; and nonpathogenic yeasts such as Candida batistae, C. apicola, Starmerella bombicola, Rhodotorula bogoriensis, Wickerhamiella domercqiae, and Rhodotorula babjevae. Sophorolipids and rhamnolipids are used in different applications such as household detergents, personal care, industrial and institutional cleaners, food processing, oilfield chemicals, leather processing, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals. Due to the low toxicity and high biodegradable properties of sophorolipids, they are highly used as biosurfactants to reduce surface and interfacial tension, increasing the dissolution rate of hydrocarbons and facilitating solubilization and absorption of compounds. Rhamnolipids have gained attention in different sectors due to their non-toxicity, high biodegradability, low surface tension, and minimum inhibitory concentration values.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Sophorolipids offer several advantages over chemical surfactants, such as high biodegradability, diversity of biological properties, and renewable characteristics being synthesized as a mixture of different molecules. Sophorolipids have various properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, that allow their application in different industries, such as detergents and personal care. They are also highly efficient in reducing the surface and interfacial tensions. Further, rhamnolipids are highly used in applications across many industries, such as bioremediation, cosmetics, agriculture, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, owing to their efficient surface and biological capabilities. Rhamnolipids effectively lower surface tension, exhibit low toxicity, have a strong wetting ability, and promote the biodegradation of poorly soluble substrates. Therefore, advantages associated with the usage of sophorolipids and rhamnolipids drive the sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market growth. However, the high cost of rhamnolipids and sophorolipids limits their use in different application sectors, restraining the global sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market growth. The cost of producing rhamnolipids is high due to the poorer yields as compared to commercial synthetic surfactants. High feedstock costs, expensive purification, and downstream processing are key factors increasing the production cost. The main disadvantage of sophorolipid is its high price. However, the chemical industry is analyzing ways to improve production efficiency and lower costs. Many studies have been focusing on finding a new cost-effective bioprocess setting.
