Surfactant Market worth $36.5 Billion by 2017
The report “Surfactants Market By Product Types (Anionic, Non-Ionic, Cationic, Amphoteric), Substrates
(Synthetic/petrochemical, Bio-based/Natural/Green), Geography & Applications: Global Industry Trends & Forecasts to
2017”, defines and segments the surfactant market with analysis and forecasting of the global volume and revenue.
Surfactant market is expected to grow from $27,040 million in 2012 to $36,518 million by 2017, with a CAGR of 6.19% from
2012 to 2017. In this, synthetic surfactants are expected to occupy the major share when compared to bio-based
surfactants during the next five years. However, consumption of bio-based surfactants is predicted to show a significant
growth by 2017. As of 2012, European region is estimated to be the largest consumer of surfactants and would remain top
consumer by the year 2017. North America would be the second largest surfactant consumer in the year 2012, whereas,
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the third largest surfactant consumer in the same year. The trend is predicted to change by
2017, where Asia-Pacific region would be the second largest consumer of surfactants, which would be pursued by North
America as the third largest surfactant consuming region.

Considering surfactant consumption by product type, anionic and non-ionic surfactants are estimated to constitute largest
share in 2012 and are expected to be the largest segment by 2017. From view point of surfactant consumption by
applications, soap/detergent is the largest market for surfactant consumption as of year 2012 and is estimated to remain
highest surfactant consuming segment by 2017.
Hazardous environmental impacts, eco-friendly tag of bio-based surfactants might lead to slow growth of synthetic
surfactants in the future. However, broadened application areas of surfactants across all industries, and easy availability of
synthetic surfactants would keep them in demand in the near future. The overall surfactant demand in the near future
would depend on certain factors such as increased applications areas and increasing demand from various industrial
segments, newer/alternative products with compatible price range, substrate availability, environmental laws and
regulations, increasing surfactant consumption in developing countries, increasing awareness towards eco-friendly
products, etc. The global surfactant consumption is expected to grow at an estimated CAGR of 6.01% from 2012 to 2017.
The market dynamics of concrete admixtures industry are studied for market insights such as drivers, restraints, and
opportunities. The main drivers of automotive plastics utilization are its high demand in developing countries, improved
quality and economics of construction, and steadily growing urbanization trend. The factors restraining the market could be
established infrastructures in developed countries and unstable economic cycle. The opportunities are cited in utilization of
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) in developing countries.
