Bio-based Agricultural Surfactants Market Analysis and Size

Surface-acting agents are another name for surfactants. These lower the surface tension of the water. Surfactants aid farmers in making better use of pesticides. Agricultural surfactants are combined with agrochemicals to improve spray droplet spread on the surface of leaves and maximise spray droplet duration. They improve pesticide effectiveness.

Market Definition

A bio-surfactant is a type of surfactant derived from living cells, has low toxicity, and has a high rate of biodegradability. These are also known as surface active agents and are commonly used as detergents or wetting agents to reduce surface tension. Bio-surfactants are widely used due to their ability to improve emulsification of hydrocarbons, their versatility, the possibility of large-scale production, and their environmentally friendly nature.

Bio-based Agricultural Surfactants Market Scope and Segmentation

Bio-based Agricultural Surfactants Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase adoption of environmental friendly agricultural practices

The worldwide development of bio-based surfactants is fundamentally influenced by expanding ecological guidelines imposed by state-run administrations all over the world against the utilisation of synthetic compounds in cleansers because of their unfavourable effect on the climate when arranged into water. Increasing consumer awareness of environmental hazards is likely to lead to increased use of bio-based surfactants over traditional surfactants.

• Rise in the demand from the personal care industry

Bio-based surfactants are widely used in the beauty and personal care industries as emollients, thickening and purifying agents, and to help with the consistency of moisturisers and creams. The developing beauty care products and individual consideration industry, with rising interest in shading beauty care products, U.V. safe skincare items, and anti-aging beauty care products, will most likely drive market development globally.

Opportunity

Research and development activities, thriving end-use industries, increased investment, and widespread use of surfactants in household detergents all positively impact the surfactant market. Furthermore, an increase in demand for bio-based surfactants and sustainable green surfactant products, as well as the use of surfactants in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, provide profitable opportunities to market participants from 2022 to 2029.

Restraints

Raw material price volatility and the implementation of stringent regulations by government agencies are expected to stymie market growth. Concerns about the product's toxicity, biodegradability, and eutrophication are expected to pose a challenge to the surfactant market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

COVID-19 Impact on Bio-based Agricultural Surfactants Market

The emergence of the new COVID strain has harmed the health-care infrastructure in many developed and developing countries. There is a severe shortage of hospital personnel, medications, oxygen beds, and ventilators. Supply chains are being disrupted, causing disruptions in manufacturing activities in many countries. This has a negative impact on the global agricultural surfactant market.

Recent Development

• Dec 2021 Cargill, a food processor based in the United States, plans to acquire the bio-industrial business of Croda, a British specialty chemical maker, for approximately $1 billion. Croda's bio-industrial division produces industrial chemicals such as polymer antistatic, antifog, and slide agents and friction-reducing engine oil additives.
• In January 2022, Evonik will invest three million euros to build a new bio-based and biodegradable rhamnolipids production plant. The plant was built in response to Evonik's research and development breakthrough. Rhamnolipids are biosurfactants that act as active ingredients in shower gels and detergents. Surfactants that are good for the environment are in high demand all over the world. The investment in the Slovenská upa facility in Slovakia has strengthened Evonik's collaboration with Unilever, which began in 2019.
• Stepan obtained a maturation plant in Louisiana in February 2021. Stepan Company markets cutting-edge surfactants and biosurfactants derived from maturation, another innovation stage.
• Stepan Company completed the acquisition of Logos Technologies LLC's NatSurFact business, a rhamnolipid-based line of bio-surfactants derived from sustainable sources, in March 2020, expanding the company's product portfolio.
