Low Foam Surfactants Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Low Foam Surfactants Market Analysis

The Low Foam Surfactants Market size is estimated at USD 14.35 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 17.69 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic positively affected the market for low-foam surfactants to some extent. The implementation of safety measures by various governments across the globe and the increasing awareness about hygiene positively impacted the market demand for detergents and cleaning agents, thereby driving the market demand for low-foam surfactants. Post-COVID-19, the market grew due to the increasing demand for low-foam surfactants in agrochemicals, food and dairy processes, cleaners, detergents and cleaning agents, and oilfield chemicals.

• The significant growth in detergents and cleaning agents, increased demand for sustainable surfactants, and the rising demand for personal care products are expected to drive the current studied market.
• On the flip side, the stringent environmental regulations and the availability of other substitutes are expected to hinder the growth of the market.
• The development of bio-based surfactants is expected to create opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
• The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market. It is also expected to register the highest growth due to the rising demand for low foam surfactants in agrochemicals and agrochemicals.

Low Foam Surfactants Industry Segmentation

Surfactants are surface active agents and are generally used in cleaning detergents. The surfactants accelerate the activity on the surface and help in removing dirt that is trapped on the surface. Low-foaming surfactants are nonionic surfactants with altered alkyl chains or levels of alkoxylation. Low foam nonionic surfactants are ideal for various cleaning applications in the home, industry, and institutions.

The low foam surfactants market is segmented by type, end-user industry, and geography. Based on type, the market is segmented into amphoteric, cationic, and nonionic. Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into agrochemicals, food and dairy process cleaners, detergents and cleaning agents, pulp and paper, metal cleaning and metal working fluids, oilfield chemicals, and others (textiles, personal care, etc.). The report also covers the market size and forecasts for low foam surfactants in 15 countries across major regions. Each segment's market sizing and forecasts are based on value (USD).
