Asia Pacific Biosurfactants Market size exceeded USD 315 million, globally in 2018 and is estimated to grow at over 5.5% CAGR between 2019 and 2025.
Bio surfactants are amphiphilic compounds which are produced in microbial cell surfaces or excreted extracellular hydrophobic & hydrophilic moieties that provide ability to bind fluid phases resulting in reducing surface and interfacial tension. This product offers persuading attributes including less toxicity, biodegradability and ecofriendly. Various types of bio surfactants available in the market include Rhamnolipids, Sophorolipids, Methyl Ethyl Sulfonates [MES], Alkyl Polyglucosides [APG], Sorbitan Esters, Sucrose Esters, Lipopeptides.
Conventional surfactants are widely utilized in agricultural, industrial, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics application. Product industry growth is supported by declining demand for conventional surfactants including glycerides due to rise in environmental degradation, toxicity problem and fluctuating crude oil prices.
Asia Pacific bioremediation market size is anticipated to surpass CAGR of 16% between 2018 to 2026. Widening opportunities for the market is attributed to growing utilization of bioremediation methods in order to detoxify pollutants. Sophorolipids, APG and Lipopeptides are the major biosurfactants utilized for bioremediation methods owing to superior emulsification of oils, lowering of interfacial tension, dispersion of oils and corrosion inhibition in fuel oils & equipment and soil flushing.
