Key Market Trends
Home Care Products Application to Dominate the Market
Alkyl polyglycoside surfactants are widely known for their high biodegradability, eco-friendly nature, and ability to be easily hydrolyzed. Such favorable properties contribute to the growing demand for alkyl polyglycoside, in several home care products applications.
- Population growth, urbanization, changing living standards, and rising per capita income, among other factors, have been significantly affecting the demand for home care products, such as laundry detergents, soaps, and fabric conditioners.
- In developed regions, like Europe and North America, automated washing machines are widely prevalent and used for laundry operations. Household detergents hold a major share in the alkyl polyglycoside market.
- Moreover, people are becoming more conscious about increasing the efficacy and efficiency of laundry operations, which, in turn, have been surging the demand for home care products. As non-ionic surfactants, like alkyl polyglycoside surfactants, are the primary raw materials used in the production of detergents, the growing demand for laundry detergents around the world is expected to boost the market growth.
- An unprecedented surge in demand for hand sanitizers and surfactants, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has created a surge for essential commodities, globally.
- Moreover, stringent government regulations regarding the manufacturing of products and maintenance of hygiene and safety standards in the food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries have resulted in players emphasizing on manufacturing processes, as well as workplace safety. Even a minor contamination during product manufacturing may lead to hazardous health issues.
- Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the demand for alkyl polyglycoside from home care products application is expected to considerably increase, over the forecast period.
Europe to Dominate the Market Studied
The growth of the personal care and cosmetic industry, particularly in major European countries, coupled with consumer preferences toward using natural home care products, is driving the consumption of alkyl polyglycoside in Europe.
- Germany represents the largest personal care and cosmetic market in Europe, followed by France and the United Kingdom. Drug stores are observed as the largest distribution channel in the beauty and personal care industry in Germany, owing to their convenient location and a wide selection of mass-market beauty brands. Moreover, the significant growth of the manufacturing sector in the region is expected to aid the demand for the product.
- Growing awareness among consumers toward the importance of naturally derived products in the home care products applications is likely to boost the market size. Several players are observed to put in continuous efforts in manufacturing product derived renewable sources, by decreasing the use of potentially harmful chemicals, such as parabens, phthalates, and aluminum salts.
- The industry has been regulated by stringent regulations by regional authorities, such as REACH, CEFIC, and ECHA, regarding environment hazards of inorganic surfactants. The robust adoption of this bio-based surfactant considering the product's relatively low toxicity further complies with regulations of the regional enforcement authorities.
- Due to the aforementioned factors, the demand for alkyl polyglycoside is expected to increase in the region, during the forecast period.
