Silicone Surfactants Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Silicone Surfactants Market
The silicone surfactants market size was valued at USD 2.23 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 2.34 billion in 2024 to USD 3.46 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period of 2023-2032.
The closure of construction projects led to a lower call for silicone as a result, COVID-19 affected its supply chains. Nevertheless, the cleaning industry was growing substantially during the lockdown thus contributing to the silicone surfactants market growth. This countered the decrease in polyurethane foam applications especially in soaps and detergents. The consumption of cleaning products for silicone polyethers pushed ahead the construction issues.
The surge in personal care manufacturing, especially in hair, grooming, and skincare, propels market growth. Consumers' preference for natural ingredients in cosmetics and awareness of product composition drive silicone surfactants market share. Major players such as Dow and Shin-Etsu are enhancing their portfolios with sustainable, plant-based options. This shift meets consumer preferences and stimulates market demand for eco-friendly surfactants.
Additionally, demand from diverse sectors like paints, construction, agriculture, and refrigeration will drive market growth. Silicone surfactants enhance paint and coating performance and are vital in polyurethane foam production. They also improve agrochemicals' effectiveness. Increased polyurethane foam use in cooling systems further boosts demand across these industries.
