The global alkyl polyglucosides market size is expected to reach USD 1354.89 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Alkyl Polyglucosides Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product (Coco, Lauryl, Decyl, and Capryl), Raw Material, Functionality, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025 - 2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The alkyl polyglucosides market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable surfactants. Alkyl polyglucosides, derived from natural sources such as fatty alcohols and glucose, are widely recognized for their mildness, excellent foaming properties, and compatibility with other ingredients. These qualities make them ideal ingredients for personal care products, household detergents, industrial cleaners, and agricultural chemicals. The global shift towards sustainability and stricter environmental regulations has further amplified the adoption of APGs as a preferred alternative to traditional petrochemical-based surfactants.
The expanding personal care and cosmetics industry, where APGs are extensively used in products like shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby care formulations due to their gentle and non-irritating properties, is driving the alkyl polyglucosides market demand. Consumers are increasingly prioritizing products with natural and organic ingredients, prompting manufacturers to incorporate APGs into their formulations. Similarly, the household cleaning segment is benefiting from the rising awareness of environmental conservation, leading to a surge in demand for biodegradable cleaning agents. APGs, with their effective cleaning performance and low toxicity, align perfectly with this trend.
