Specialty Surfactant industry Segmentation
The Global Specialty Surfactant industry has been segmented by Type, Application, End-Use Industry and Region.
On the basis of Type, the market has been segmented into anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and others. The anionic surfactants segment accounted for the largest share of the Specialty Surfactant industry in 2017, and is expected to grow at a considerable rate during the review period. Anionic surfactants find numerous applications in detergents, household soaps, shampoos, and hand washes. This is attributed to a higher level of foam generating ability of anionic surfactant as compared to other types of surfactants.
By End-Use Industry, the market has been segmented into personal care, food & beverage, oil & gas, agriculture, paints & coatings, industry & institutional cleaning, and others. The personal care segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017, owing to the growing demand for the soft and gentle soaps as compared to harsh natural soaps and commodity products. Surfactants are used as ingredients in a variety of products in personal care, such as cleansers and conditioner, and hair care products.
