Surfactants Market by Type (Anionic, Non-Ionic, Cationic, and Amphoteric), Application (Home Care, Personal Care, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning, Textile, Elastomers & Plastics, Agrochemicals, and Food & Beverage), Region - Global Forecast to 2025
Updated on : January 11, 2023
The global surfactants market size was valued at USD 42.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 52.4 billion by 2025, growing at a cagr 4.5% from 2020 to 2025. The growth of the market is driven by the growing population and increasing urbanization in Asia Pacific. In addition, growing awareness about the products such as hand sanitizer due to COVID-19 is another factor driving its demand.
“Anionic surfactants led the surfactants market in 2019.”
Anionic surfactants led the surfactants market in 2019. This is owed to its low cost and ease of availability. In addition, it is used in a wide variety of applications. The growing awareness regarding cleaning and hygiene are other factors driving its demand.
“Home care application led the surfactants market in 2019.”
Home care application led the surfactants market in 2019. Surfactants are used various products such as dishwashing detergents, laundry detergents, laundry and dishwashing soaps, carpet cleaners, and floor cleaners, among others. They are also used in home care products to remove oil, dirt, and unwanted particles from fabrics, dishes, and other surfaces.
North America to account for the largest share of the global surfactant market during the forecast period, in terms of value.
North America is expected to account for the largest share in the global surfactants market during the forecast period, in terms of and value. However, APAC is expected to lead the market in terms of volume. The use of bio-based surfactants in North America and the need to import the raw materials from countries such as Thailand and Malaysia leads to higher prices of surfactants when compared to APAC. This leads to the greater market share of North America in terms of value when compared to APAC.
Surfactants Market Players
The key market players profiled in the report include as BASF SE (Germany), Nouryon (North Holland), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Stepan Company (US), Solvay (Belgium), The Dow Chemical Company (US), Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (Thailand), Clariant (Switzerland), Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (US), Kao Corporation (Japan), Lonza (Switzerland), and Croda International Plc (UK), among others.
BASF SE is one of the leading producers of surfactants. The company has undertaken expansion and new product launch as its growth strategy in the surfactants market. For instance, in October 2019, the company launched Texapon SFA and Dehyton SFA surfactants. The company also increased its production capacity for Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG) in Jinshan, China by an additional 10,000 metric tons in October 2019. APGs are non-ionic surfactants and are manufactured from 100% natural and renewable feedstocks.
Nouryon is another leading player in the surfactant market. The company focuses on expansion, new product launch, and agreement to remain competitive in the surfactants market. For instance, in March 2019, the company launched a next-generation surfactant used as additive, Ethylan EF-60, which enables formulators to ensure low temperature storage stability of VOC-free water-borne latex paint products.

Recent Developments
- In March 2020, Stepan Company acquired Logos Technologies LLCs NatSurFact business, a rhamnolipid-based line of bio-surfactants derived from renewable sources. Rhamnolipids, a class of bio-surfactants, are attractive due to their favorable biodegradability, low toxicity and, in some cases, unique antimicrobial properties.
- In December 2019, Unilever in partnership with Evonik, launched a biosurfactant, Rhamnolipid. Rhamnolipid is 100% renewable and biodegradable in nature. It is also ultra-mild on the skin, which sets it apart from other surfactants. This surfactant was, for the first time, used by Unilever in its Quix dishwashing brand in Chile.
- In October 2019, Solvay launched two new products from its Rhodapex BR APE Free surfactant line (nonylphenol ethoxylate free). The new product launch helped the company to meet the growing demand in the water-based polymerization and emulsion paint, adhesives, and textile applications in Brazil and other South American countries.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size for surfactants. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Post that, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources used in this study included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; certified publications; articles from recognized authors; and gold standard & silver standard websites such as Factiva, ICIS, Bloomberg, and others. Findings of this study were verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key officials such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and other executives.
Primary Research
The surfactants market comprises several stakeholders, such as raw material suppliers, end-product manufacturers, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. The demand side of this market is characterized by the companies which are into the manufacturing of home care, personal care, agrochemicals, and food & beverage, among others. The supply side is characterized by advancements in technology. Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.
