Market Overview:
The global low foam surfactants market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for low foam surfactants from various end-use industries, such as family and personal care, chemicals, and textile. Low foam surfactants are used in a wide range of applications owing to their properties such as excellent foaming ability, good detergency, high solubility in water, and biodegradability. These factors are driving the demand for low foam surfactants across different regions. Nonionic surfactant is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment of the global low foam surfactants market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
Low foam surfactants are chemicals that are used in detergents, cosmetics, and other products to reduce the amount of foam that is produced. They are important because they help to keep products from becoming too foamy or bubbly and make them easier to use. Low foam surfactants can also help to prevent waste by reducing the amount of suds that are produced.
Nonionic Surfactant:
Nonionic surfactant is a type of surface-active agent. It has hydrophobic (water repellent) and hydrophilic (water absorbent) properties. The chemical formula for nonionic surfactant is usually written as C3H6(+), where the plus sign indicates that the compound contains an alkali group and can be classified as a cationic surfactant.
Amphoteric Surfactant:
An amphoteric surfactant is a type of surfactant that can act as an electrolyte, wetting agent, emulsifier and foaming agent. It can be used in multiple applications including soaps & detergents, personal care products and industrial cleaning products. The most common types of amphoteric surfactants include linear alkylbenzene (LABS) and non-linear alkylbenzene (NLAB).
Application Insights:
The chemicals segment led the global low foam surfactants market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for chemical products with enhanced properties, such as solubility in organic solvents, water resistance, and compatibility with other ingredients.
Chemical manufacturers are also developing new products based on these surfactants due to their superior foaming properties coupled with excellent wetting ability that help them act as emulsifiers and dispersing agents. In addition, they are used as thickening agents in paints & coatings industry owing to their high viscosity index number (VIN). This trend is expected to drive product demand over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as personal care, household & home care, and industrial cleaners. Increasing population in emerging economies of India and China is also expected to have a positive impact on industry expansion over the next eight years.
The increasing number of manufacturing facilities along with rapid urbanization has led to an increase in construction activities across Asia Pacific countries such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines Thailand; which will further boost product demand family & personal care products segment majorly followed by cleaning products owing to growing consumer awareness towards health safety standards resulting into high preference for biodegradable surfactants that are eco-friendly alternative compared with synthetic ones thus positively influencing regional market growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning
- Rising awareness about the benefits of low foam surfactants over traditional surfactants
- Growing investments in R&D to develop new and innovative low foam surfactants products
- Proliferation of e-commerce platforms that offer a wide range of low foam surfactants products at competitive prices
- Expansion of distribution networks by key players to reach a wider customer base
