Market Insight:
Global Bio Surfactant Industry is anticipated to generate demand of over 340,000 tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR of around 4% from 2014 to 2020. Absence of direct bio based substitutes of these product is expected to be one of the major factor driving the market over the forecast period.
Bio surfactants are surface-active compounds manufactured from several bio-based raw materials such as plant oil, plant carbohydrate and animal oil. Biosurfactants are excellent alternatives for synthetic surfactants and are the best emulsifiers that helps in maintaining, temperature & pH tolerance, antimicrobial, wet & foaming properties.
Few other factors such as growth of the global personal care industry and rising environmental concern over consumption of synthetic surfactants are yet another factor expected to drive the product demand.

Detergents and personal care products are its main end use applications. Bio surfactants such as APE (Alkyl phenol ethoxylates) &LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfates) have been also used as substitutes for synthetic ones in sewage treatment plants. Environmental friendly nature, non-toxicity, low irritancy, biodegradability and safety of handling these products are some of the major advantages for these over the synthetic ones.
New production techniques and increasing applications in bioremediation, oilfield chemicals, industrial and institutional cleaners are anticipated to create new opportunities for the industry.
However, these products being costlier compared to the synthetic ones and its low availability are expected to restraint the market in the new future.
Product Insight:
Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) was the largest product segment in 2013 accounting for over 30% of the overall market. Increasing consumer awareness for bio based products makes it the preferred choice for the manufacturer in the present scenario. Demand of other products including sucrose esters, alkyl polyglucosides (apg), and sorbitan esters are also anticipated to increase in the next six years.
Other bio Surfactants namely non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and polymeric surfactants are used as emulsifying agents in a wide range of end use segments such as textiles, personal care, construction, fuel sectors, and paper. Some of its important properties include its versatility, electrolytic, shear & thermal stability. Another product named rhamnolipids are used to degrade waste of hydrocarbons and also plays a major role in the cosmetic industry.
