A type of surfactant that is derived from living cells, has low toxicity, and a high rate of biodegradability is referred to as a bio-surfactant. These are also referred to as surface active agents, and are generally used for reducing surface tension as detergents or wetting agents. Bio-surfactants are widely being adopted owing to their properties in enhancing emulsification of hydrocarbons, diversity in use, possibility of large scale production, and environmentally friendly nature. These type of surfactants find use across various applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, oilfield chemicals, etc.

Increasing availability of natural bio-based surfactants to be used in manufacture of detergents and personal care products and also as oil field chemicals coupled with rising demand for bio-based surfactants as compared to their conventional chemical counterparts are major factors driving growth of the global bio-based surfactants market. In addition, stringent government and environmental regulations restricting use of conventional surfactants is another factor expected to propel demand for bio-based surfactants which is anticipated to fuel growth of the global market over the forecast period.

However, volatility in raw material prices especially, in prices of ethylene which is a major component from which anionic surfactants – major type of bio-surfactants – are derived from, is a major factor restraining growth of the global bio-based surfactants market. Additionally, wide scale availability of chemical based surfactants and high adoption in oil fields of the same as compared to bio-based surfactants is another major factor hampering growth of the global bio-based surfactants market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in Europe dominates the global bio-based surfactants market in revenue terms owing to rising demand for bio-based surfactants and increasing number of applications of bio-surfactants in the region. The market in North America accounted for second-highest revenue share in the global bio-based surfactants market, followed by markets in Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America respectively. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness fastest growth in terms of revenue, owing to growing demand for less toxic and environmentally friendly surfactants coupled with stringent environment regulations in the region.
