Key Market Trends

Household Soap and Detergent Application to Dominate the Market

  • Currently, the household soaps & detergents application accounts for the major share of the Global Specialty Surfactants market.
  •  The primary function of surfactant in detergent is to remove soil from fabrics and to suspend the soil in the wash water. Surfactants in dishwasher detergents are used for wetting surfaces to help soil removal. 
  • The surfactant level in automatic dishwasher detergents is lower than in hand dishwashing detergents to minimize foaming in the dishwasher. The major surfactants used are LAS, alcohol ethoxy sulfates (AES).
  • In the recent past, the growing demand for cleaning products across the world has been a major driver for the specialty surfactants market. 
  • Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the household soap & detergent application is expected to dominate the market studied.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Currently, Asia-Pacific accounts for the highest share of the global specialty surfactants market.
  • China was the largest consumer of surfactants in Asia-Pacific and the country is likely to continue its dominance during the forecast period. 
  • Continuous growth in population is a factor fuelling the demand for cosmetics in the country. China is one of the top ten markets for cosmetics export from developed economies, such as the United States.
  •  The growth of population, which lies in the ages between 20 and 30 years, is the major factor contributing to the increasing cosmetics demand in China.
  • Additionally, there has been significant growth in the demand for specialty surfactants from the southeast Asian countries for usage in applications like soap & detergents, personal care, food processing, etc.
  • Hence, owing to the above-mentioend factors, Asia-Pacific is likely to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.
