Market Dynamics
Driver: Superior properties of alkyl polyglycoside
Alkyl polyglycosides is a non-ionic surfactant produced from renewable raw materials. High alkali stability, superior wetting, low surface tension, superior eco-toxicity, strong compatibility with all other types of surfactants, good detergence property, detergency, low irritating, easily biodegradable, and stable form are only a few of its outstanding qualities. Alkyl polyglycosides are therefore becoming more and more in demand across a variety of industrial verticals as a result of their high biodegradability and ecologically benign attributes.
Restraints: Availability of cheaper conventional substitutes
One of the major restraints for alkyl polyglycoside is its relatively high cost. Due to its high price, the alkyl polyglycoside products are finding it difficult to penetrate the middle-class segment of population. Specifically, the price sensitive population in Asia Pacific region. Asia Pacific region is major consumer of conventional surfactant, but consumption of organic surfactant is significantly low due to easily available cheap conventional substitutes.
Opportunities:Rising stringent regulations towards environment
As a result of the environmental risks posed by inorganic surfactants, the sector has been subject to strict restrictions from regional bodies including REACH, CEFIC, and ECHA. Given the product's very low toxicity and widespread acceptance of this bio-based surfactant, both actions are in accordance with local enforcement agencies' rules. During the projected period, the demand for alkyl polyglycoside is anticipated to rise as a result of the aforementioned factors.
Challenges: Low awareness in developing region
Lower rate of awareness towards green solutions in developing regions like Asia Pacific is one of the major challenges for market growth during the forecast period. However, in major growing economies like China and India, alkyl polyglycoside market is expected to grow in future due to consumer awareness and increasing purchasing power.
“Fatty Alcohol accounted for largest market share for alkyl polyglycoside market by raw materials in 2021, in terms of value”
In 2021, the market for alkyl polyglycosides was dominated by the fatty alcohol segment. Acid acts as a catalyst in the usual reaction of fatty alcohol and sugar to form alkyl polyglycoside. Aliphatic alcohols, the majority of which are linear and monohydric, make up fatty alcohols. These can either have one or more double bonds or be saturated. Detergents and soaps, personal care products, and other products are where fatty alcohols are most commonly used. Fatty alcohols are being adopted at a faster rate as a result of rising population in emerging countries and rising demand for personal care items, detergents, and soaps, both of which are fueling the expansion of this market.
“Home care was the largest application for alkyl polyglycoside market in 2021, in terms of value”
In 2021, the home care segment accounted for the largest market share. Homecare market is expected to increase significantly over the projected period as a result of rising customer demand for goods with a high biodegradability and environmental friendliness. While the expanding e-commerce industry, rising per capita income, expanding population, and changing living standards all contributed to the market's expansion.“Europe was the largest market for alkyl polyglycoside in 2021, in terms of value.”
Alkyl polyglycoside usage in Europe is being driven by the expansion of the personal care and cosmetics industries, notably in the main European nations, as well as customer preferences for utilizing natural home care products. The biggest personal care and cosmetics market in Europe is represented by Germany, which is followed by France and UK.
