Low Foam Surfactants Market by Type (Non-ionic, Amphoteric, Cationic), and Application (Home & Personal Care, Agrochemicals, Oil Field Chemicals, Textiles, Paints, Pulp & Paper, Cement, and Metal Cleaning) - Global Forecast to 2024
[122 Pages Report] The low foam surfactants market size is projected to reach USD 19.6 billion by 2024 from USD 14.9 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The low foam surfactants market growth is driven mainly by the growth of the end-user industries and increasing need for greener and sustainable surfactants. The demand is estimated to surge from APAC and South American regions as a result of increasing awareness for cleaning and cleanliness in the industries, institutes, and various corporate and government offices. Moreover, the region includes some of the fastest-growing economies such as China, India, and Brazil. Industrial development in these regions favors various other chemical industries, including surfactants.
Non-ionic is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the global low foam surfactants market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the low foam surfactants market has been segmented into non-ionic, amphoteric, and cationic. The non-ionic segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of the global low foam surfactants market. Non-ionic surfactants can be used in a variety of temperatures without compromising on its functionality. Thus, the demand for these surfactants is huge across the globe. Moreover, governments undertaking green initiatives are likely to support the market growth of this segment. The extensive use of non-ionic surfactants in a broad range of applications, including household detergents, hard surface cleaners, and industrial processes is expected to drive the growth of this segment.
The home & personal care segment is projected to be the largest application of low foam surfactants during the forecast period.
APAC has highly populated countries such as China and India, and the major demand for low foam surfactants is expected from these economies due to the changing lifestyle and rising consumer awareness regarding personal cleanliness. The demand for household and personal care products is expected to drive the low foam surfactants market in the region during the forecast period.
APAC is expected to account for the largest share of the low foam surfactants market during the forecast period.
The rapid industrialization, coupled with the growing plastics industry drives the market in the region. The rising disposable income of consumers, along with the changing lifestyle, play a significant role in boosting the growth of the low foam surfactants market. China is the largest low foam surfactants market owing to its rapidly growing applications. The demand for low surfactants is also propelled by the rising demand for personal care products and increased demand for bio-based surfactants. In addition, the increasing demand from China, Japan, and South Korea is estimated to generate massive demand for low foam surfactants.
