Non-ionic surfactants Market by Type (Alcohol Ethoxylates, Fatty Alkanolamides, Amine Derivatives, Glycerol Derivatives, Alkoxylates, and Others), End-use Industry (Paints & Coatings, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Textiles, Agrochemicals, Household Cleaners, Food & Beverage, Oil & Gas, and Others), and Region- Global Forecast to 2030
The non-ionic surfactants market is projected to reach USD 21.6 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.1% from USD 14.5 billion in 2022. Non-ionic surfactants do not have any charge on their hydrophilic part. These surfactants carry a hydrophilic group such as alcohol, phenol, ether, ester, or amide. These are suited for the cleaning process, as they are good detergents; and are not sensitive to water hardness. Non-ionic surfactants are usually used in mixtures with other surfactants as they are compatible with charged molecules. They are widely preferred in different application industries, processing technologies, and scientific research due to properties, such as detergency, emulsification, and solubilization.
