Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) Market, by Application, and by Region - Global Trends, and Forecast, 2022 - 2028

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is an anionic surfactant obtained by sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene. It is used in detergents, soaps, and industrial cleaning products as wetting agents and emulsifiers. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate are cost-effective, biodegradable, and offer excellent dissolution rate. Growing demand for biodegradable surfactants in dish washers, laundry, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, hard surface cleaners, wax strippers, dairy cleaners, degreasers, and car wash among others is driving growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market. The availability of substitutes such as alcohol ether sulfates (AES) for linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is one of the major restraints for growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market.
