Global Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate [SLES] Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global sodium lauryl ether sulphate [SLES] market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 1.587 billion by 2028. Aided by its rising utilisation in various consumer products and expanding applications in diverse industries, the market is expected to grow significantly by 2028.

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, commonly referred to as SLES, is an anionic surfactant predominantly used in detergents, shampoos, shower gels, and other personal care products. With its impressive foaming capabilities and ability to remove oil and dirt from skin and hair, it has become a preferred ingredient in various cleansing products. Beyond its predominant role in personal care, SLES is also used in industrial cleaners, serving as an emulsifying agent in textile industries and as a wetting agent in the paper and pulp industry.

One of the chief factors steering the global sodium lauryl ether sulphate [SLES] market growth is the insatiable demand for personal care and home care products. As urbanisation spreads and disposable incomes rise, consumers are exhibiting a growing inclination towards premium personal care products that promise efficacy, longevity, and safety. With SLES being an integral part of many such products due to its high foaming and emulsifying properties, its demand is invariably on an upswing.

In addition, the expanding horizons of SLES applications in various industries further bolsters the sodium lauryl ether sulphate [SLES] market demand. Within the realm of industrial applications, SLES is increasingly being recognised for its effectiveness as a surfactant. Whether it's assisting in the textile industry as a dyeing and cleaning agent or serving the pharmaceutical sector as an emulsifying agent, the versatile nature of SLES is opening new doors for its market expansion.

Geographically, The Asia Pacific region accounts for a significant portion of the sodium lauryl ether sulphate [SLES] market share, a trend that's expected to persist. Rapid industrialisation combined with an ever-growing population has surged the demand for both personal care products and industrial applications in the region. However, Europe and North America, with their robust cosmetic industries and stringent quality standards, are also significant contributors to the global SLES market.
