Detergent Chemicals Market Analysis

Product (Surfactants, Enzymes, Builders, Bleaches)

Surfactants segment is predicted to account for around 37% detergent chemicals market share by 2036. The segment growth can be ascribed to the use of surfactants in households to even pharmaceuticals. Depending upon the type of surfactants, which are, anionic, cationic, nonionic, and zwitterionic, they find their specific applications in various departments. They are used in the manufacture of laundry detergents, beauty products, textile softeners, etc. They are even put to use as a wetting agent. The word surfactant is short for surface-acting agent which is self-explanatory. It enables an action on the surface of the material one is trying to clean. Laundry and dishwashing detergents contain the highest amount of surfactant, as they provide a superior lathering and cleaning action to clear out various contaminants, and also preserve and amplify the appearance of the objects. The global laundry detergent market is anticipated to surpass USD 150 billion. This fact focuses on the prospects of growth of surfactants as a raw material in this industry. The surfactants used in the machine washing products have comparatively lower surfactant levels so as to not affect the efficiency of the equipment.
