Research Summary

A surfactant, short for surface-active agent, is a chemical compound that lowers the surface tension between two substances, such as a liquid and a solid or another liquid. Surfactants have molecules with both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, allowing them to adsorb at interfaces and reduce the surface tension. This unique property enables surfactants to facilitate various processes such as emulsification, dispersion, foaming, wetting, and detergency. Surfactants are widely used in industries such as detergents, cleaners, soaps, shampoos, personal care products, cosmetics, paints, coatings, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food products. They play crucial roles in applications ranging from cleaning and hygiene to industrial processes and formulations, where they help stabilize emulsions, improve solubility, enhance spreading and wetting properties, and reduce surface tension.

The major global  manufacturers of Surfactant include Akzo Nobel, Albright & Wilson, Ashland, BASF, Clariant, Croda International, DKS, DuPont, Evonik Industries, Galaxy Surfactants, Huntsman, India Glycols, DUPONT, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
