Low Foam Surfactants Market Size & Trends
"2030 Low Foam Surfactants Market value to reach USD 22,090.5 million"
The global low foam surfactants market size was estimated at USD 15287.1 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2030. The market driven by driven by extensive application in the home and personal care sector. They are used in products like laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, fabric softeners, and personal care products. Low foam surfactants, being biodegradable and environmentally friendly, are gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to conventional surfactants, further driving the market.
One of the primary characteristics of low foam surfactants is their ability to effectively suppress foam formation. They contain special additives that reduce the surface tension of the liquid, preventing the formation of stable bubbles. This characteristic is particularly valuable in industries such as food and beverage production, where excessive foam can interfere with processing operations. For instance, in breweries, they are used during the fermentation process to minimize the foam generated by yeast and other substances, ensuring smooth and efficient production.
A major driver for the global low foam surfactants market is the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products. As consumers become more conscious of the environmental impact of their choices, there is a growing preference for products that are sustainable and have minimal ecological footprints. These products, with their reduced levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biodegradable properties, align with this demand for greener alternatives. For instance, in the personal care industry, there is a rising demand for these products in the formulation of shampoos, body washes, and other cleansing products. These products offer essential cleansing properties while being environmentally friendly.
A restraint for the global market is the price and availability of raw materials. The key raw materials used in the production of surfactants, such as benzene, toluene, polyol, and phosgene, are petroleum-based derivatives and are susceptible to price fluctuations. The cost structure of these products is influenced by the price and availability of these raw materials. Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials can impact the overall production costs of low foam surfactants, which may then be passed on to the consumers. This can make these products relatively more expensive compared to conventional surfactants, posing a challenge for market growth.
While these products are commonly associated with household cleaning and personal care products, their usage extends to various industrial sectors as well. Industries such as food and beverages, textiles, paints, pulp and paper, cement, and metal cleaning utilize low foam surfactants for specific purposes like cleaning, emulsifying, or dispersing. For example, in the food and beverage industry, they are used to minimize foam formation during processing operations.
