Home care, personal care, and oil & gas applications to drive the growth of Anionic Surfactants market

The anionic surfactants market was estimated at USD 16.36 billion and is projected to reach USD 20.10 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 4.2%. The market is expected to witness high growth in several growing economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa owing to the increasing spending power, growth in the infrastructure industry, and growth in the manufacture of detergents and cosmetics. Increasing population and rising consumption of personal care products are also contributing significantly to the growth of the anionic surfactants market in Asia Pacific.

Home care
Anionic surfactants are used in home care applications such as laundry detergents, dishwasher detergents, carpet cleaners, floor cleaners, and various types of fabric softeners. Anionic surfactants in detergents help remove oil, dirt, and unwanted particles from fabrics, dishes, and other surfaces. They not only remove the dirt and unwanted particles but also keep them suspended during washing, resulting in a cleaner surface. Anionic surfactants are mainly used in the soap & detergents industry due to their surface tension reduction and wettability properties.

Personal care
Anionic surfactants, when added to a liquid, reduces the surface tension. The reduction in surface tension enhances the spreading and wetting properties. Anionic surfactants are responsible for antimicrobial properties, foaming and conditioning properties (in the case of shampoos, face washes, and skin care creams), mild detergency actions, and preservative properties that are essential in the personal care industry. They also act as cleansing agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers, and wetting agents and hence are mainly used in make-up, skin care, hair care, oral care, and other personal care products.

Oil & Gas
The global oil & gas industry uses different specialty chemicals, including anionic surfactants, to produce oil, natural gas, and coal bed methane. The EOR technique extensively uses anionic surfactants that lead to additional oil recovery. The other applications of anionic surfactants in the oil & gas industry are well stimulation, drilling/completion, production/refining, and pipeline transport. In the oil & gas industry, anionic surfactants can be used for different purposes as emulsifiers, dispersants, corrosion inhibitors, foam controlling agents, wetting agents, suspending agents, and biocides. Major oilfield surfactants are sulfates, sulfonates, and lignosulfonates.

Critical questions the report answers:

• Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid to long term?
• What are the upcoming product type of anionic surfactants?

Growing disposable income, changing lifestyle, and increasing demand from the building & construction industry are expected to drive the growth of the monochloroacetic acid market

The monochloroacetic acid (MCA) market is projected to reach USD 908.9 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.6% between 2017 and 2022. Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market for MCA and is also projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The growth of the market in this region can be attributed to rising population, growing urbanization, increasing demand from the building & construction industry, growing disposable income, and changing lifestyle in emerging countries of the region. These factors are expected to attract multinational companies to invest more in Asia Pacific countries like India and China.

The MCA market is expected to witness high growth in emerging economies, such as China, India, and Indonesia. Factors such as increasing disposable income and changing lifestyles of the middle-class population in these countries are expected to fuel the demand for personal care products, textiles, detergents, crop protection chemicals, and medicines. The growth of these industries propels the consumption of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which consequently drives the demand for MCA in the aforementioned economies. Additionally, the growth of the building & construction industry drives the consumption of CMC and thioglycolic acid (TGA), which, in turn, drives the demand for MCA in the Asia Pacific region.

Based on product form, the liquid segment is projected to register the highest growth rate. The high growth in the use of liquid MCA is due to its easy miscibility as an intermediate, and efficient operation. Increased R&D activities to develop new and innovative products for use across a wide range of application areas are expected to boost the growth of the MCA market during the forecast period.

The surfactants segment is projected to be the fastest-growing application segment between 2017 and 2022. Surfactant-based face wash, gel, and hair cream, among other personal care products, are replacing conventional products, owing to their cleansing ability, ease of usage, and customization. The increasing use of MCA in the manufacturing of amphoteric surfactants, such as betaines and imidazolines, is expected to boost the surfactant market during the forecast period. Increasing adoption of surfactants in the cosmetic industry in developing countries, such as India, China, Indonesia, and Brazil, is expected to drive the demand for MCA in this application. Increasing disposable income and changing lifestyles of consumers are key growth drivers for the surfactants market in emerging countries.
