US Low Foam Surfactants Market

North America and Europe are set to experience considerable growth in their markets, driven by a strong demand for low foam surfactants in key industries. In Europe, the well-established automotive sector is expected to further boost surfactant demand, particularly in the paints and coatings industry. Additionally, the increasing preference for processed food is anticipated to drive the need for low foam surfactants, especially as food emulsifiers.

The North American Low Foam Surfactants market is poised to dominate during the projected period due to the substantial demand for surfactants across various end-use sectors. The region's robust industrial base and a growing awareness of environmental issues are key factors contributing to market growth.

Both North America and Europe are anticipated to witness significant growth in surfactant demand across various industries during the review period. The large industrial presence and a growing environmental consciousness in these regions are expected to spur an increased demand for bio-based surfactants.

Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share in the global low foam surfactants market, driven by the escalating demand for the product in applications like machine dishwashing, food and dairy process cleansers, home and personal care products, agrochemicals, and textiles. Key contributors to this regional market growth include China, Japan, India, and South Korea. The growth in the region is fueled by rapid industrialization and the thriving plastics industry. Increased disposable income and changing lifestyles among consumers are further propelling the expansion of the low foam surfactants market.

The rising demand for surfactants in major end-use industries is expected to significantly elevate North America and Europe over the study period. The substantial industrial base and growing environmental concerns are anticipated to drive the demand for bio-based surfactants in these regions. Additionally, the developed automotive sector in Europe is likely to contribute to surfactant demand, especially in the paints and coatings industry. The increased demand for processed foods is also expected to lead to a higher demand for low foam surfactant

Biopolax presents BPX Gemini (INCI: Not Provided), a range of biodegradable dimeric surfactants with two modifications: GEZ, which is in standard and zwitterionic forms, and anionic GEA. The technology, sourced from plants, claims to form micelles in aqueous solutions at low concentrations. Moreover, its strong emulsifying and co-emulsifying properties might justify applications in creams, lotions, and milk. According to Biopolax, the novelty of these dimeric surfactants consists of their two molecules of conventional monomeric surfactants that are connected by a spacer. In the case of BPX Gemini products, the spacer contains carboxyamide groups that facilitate the easy biodegradation of the surfactant by natural proteases.

In February 2024, Nouryon stated that its newest multifunctional innovation, Berol Nexus surfactant, promises improved performance and activity for customers in household and industrial cleaning applications. Introduced at this year’s annual meeting and industry convention of the American Cleaning Institute held in Orlando, Florida, USA, this specialty chemicals provider says the multifunctional hydrotrope was developed for low-temperature laundry settings, specifically targeting the North American cleaning industry. It is also a concentrated aqueous liquid of 70% with low color and viscosity.

From salad dressing to foam body wash – many everyday products could be made more environmentally friendly as a result of microgravity research. City College of New York (CCNY) conducts studies on sustainable ways to create foam products (consisting of gas bubbles distributed through liquids or solids) as well as products made using emulsion (when small drops of one liquid are dispersed into another fluid), on board the International Space Station (ISS) during SpaceX’s 25th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission. Nevertheless, there are other investigations on SpaceX CRS-25 for improving millions of people around the world's used items.
