8.2.5 Oleochemicals Surfactants Market (Source: Global
Market Insights, Inc.)
The global biosurfactants market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for
renewable and biodegradable products. Green products or biologically derived biosurfactants exhibit enhanced functionality as compared to chemically derived surfactants. By using natural raw materials, the products so developed are environment
friendly.
The industrial biosurfactants market size was over USD 1.8 billion in 2016 and
the global biosurfactants market size should witness consumption in excess of 540
kilotons by 2024 (Source: Global Market Insights, Inc.).
Oleo-surfactants are used in the world, more precisely:
• North America—U.S.,
• Europe—UK, Germany, Italy, France,
• Asia Pacific—China, India, Japan,
• Brazil.
U.S. biosurfactants market demand should register significant growth at over 4%
by the end of 2024. Asia Pacific led by China, India and Japan biosurfactants market
size should witness gains close to 4.5% over the forecast timeframe. The extensive
