Global Biosurfactants Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis Report by Product (Sophorolipids, Rhamnolipids, Alkyl Polyglucosides [APG], Methyl Ethyl Sulfonates [MES], Sucrose Esters, Sorbitan Esters, Lipopeptides) and Application (Household Detergents, Personal Care, Industrial Cleaners, Food Processing, Oilfield Chemicals, Agricultural Chemicals, Textiles), Region Outlook, Application Development, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2021 - 2027

The biosurfactants market is anticipated to exhibit robust growth by 2027 owing to increasing consumer preference towards bioproducts.

Biosurfactants are made by yeasts, bacteria, and filamentous fungi. They offer several advantages over synthetic surfactants like high biodegradability, low toxicity, and the ability to remain active in high salinity and pH. Sophorolipids are a type of biosurfactant that have been shown to possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and can affect and inhibit the growth of cancer cells, which has made them an essential ingredient in various personal care and pharmaceutical products. Notably, the booming personal care industry across the globe has augmented industry expansion in recent years.

The biosurfactants market has been segregated based on product and region. With respect to product, the market has further been categorized into lipopeptides, rhamnolipids, sucrose esters, sophorolipids, sorbiton esters, MES, APG, and others.

Under rhamnolipids, the market has been classified by application into pharmaceutical, bioremediation, textile, personal care, agricultural chemicals, industrial cleaners, oilfield chemicals, and food processing. Rhamnolipids share from bioremediation application is projected to expand at a CAGR of approximately 5.5% over the assessment period. From personal care application, the rhamnolipids segment size is poised to reach a valuation of around USD 29.75 million by the end of 2027 owing to high inclination of the millennial population towards using anti-aging products.

Under sophorolipids, the biosurfactants market has been divided in terms of application into pharmaceutical, bioremediation, household detergents, personal care, agricultural chemicals, industrial cleaners, oilfield chemicals, and food processing. From food processing application, the sophorolipids segment share is anticipated to develop at almost 6.5% CAGR through the forecast period driven by surging product demand across the bakery industry for increasing the shelf life of products. The sophorolipids segment from the pharmaceutical application is expected to garner a valuation of nearly USD 0.55 million by 2027.

Under MES, the market has been bifurcated based on application into agricultural chemicals, household detergents, industrial cleaners, and personal care. From agricultural chemicals application, the MES segment share is slated to be worth more than USD 52.9 million by the end of 2027.

Under APG, the biosurfactants market has been segmented on the basis of application into textile, household detergents, agricultural chemicals, personal care, oilfield chemicals, and industrial cleaners. The APG segment size from personal care application is likely to exceed USD 124.60 million in revenue by the end of 2027, progressing at a CAGR of about 7.0% through the review period.

From oilfield chemicals application, the APG segment share is speculated to record a revenue of above USD 17.10 million by the end of 2027, growing at approximately 6.0% CAGR through the study timeline. The APG segment size from textile application is set to amass a valuation of more than USD 27.55 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of nearly 6.5% over the stipulated timeframe.

Under sorbiton esters, the biosurfactants market has been divided from the application perspective into textile, household detergents, agricultural chemicals, personal care, food processing, and industrial cleaners. From household detergents application, the sorbiton esters segment share is estimated to reach a valuation of around USD 23.95 million by the end of 2027. Sorbiton esters size from textile application is likely to be valued at above USD 3.85 million by 2027, developing at a growth rate of more than 2.5% through the projected timeframe.

Under sucrose esters, the market has been segregated by application into pharmaceutical, household detergents, agricultural chemicals, personal care, food processing, and industrial cleaners. Sucrose esters share from the agricultural chemicals application segment is anticipated to exceed USD 1.40 million in revenue by the end of the forecast timeline.

Under lipopeptides, the biosurfactants market has been categorized with respect to application into pharmaceutical, household detergents, bioremediation, personal care, food processing, and industrial cleaners. From household detergents application, the lipopeptides segment size is expected to surpass a valuation of USD 3.90 million by 2027. Lipopeptides share from food processing application is set to be valued at over USD 0.9 million by 2027, progressing at a CAGR of above 2.5% through the analysis period.

The others product segment is slated to register a notable valuation of around USD 888.5 million by 2027, growing at a pace of about 4.8% CAGR over the estimated timeframe. Under others, the biosurfactants market has been classified based on application into textile, agricultural chemicals, household detergents, pharmaceutical, personal care, oilfield chemicals, industrial cleaners, and food processing.

From industrial cleaners application, the others product segment size is foreseen to be worth approximately USD 154.40 million by the end of 2027. Others product share from pharmaceutical application is poised to expand at a CAGR of about 5.0% through the review period and is speculated to garner over USD 147.75 million in revenue by 2027.

On the regional front, the MEA biosurfactants market held a valuation of nearly USD 48.5 million in 2020 and is expected to progress at a CAGR of nearly 4.0% through the projected period. This growth is attributed to mounting demand for biodegradable, less toxic, and renewable biosurfactants across various industry verticals, including personal care, food processing, and oil & gas sectors. The LATAM biosurfactants market is estimated to register more than 5.0% CAGR over the study timeline to surpass a valuation of USD 125.40 million by 2027.
