The global sodium lauroyl isethionate market size is anticipated to reach USD 138.1 million by 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth is due to rising environmental awareness leading to rising demand for biodegradable, plant-based ingredients like SLI. Consumers increasingly prefer mild, non-irritating formulations for sensitive skin, especially in personal care. The growth of e-commerce further expanded access, intensifying competition and driving innovation in product formulations and packaging.
The chips/flakes segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 47.6% in 2024, during the forecast period. The oxygen segment in the sodium lauroyl isethionate market is driven by its critical applications in healthcare, metal processing, and chemical industries. Liquid oxygen is essential for respiratory treatments, surgical procedures, and medical emergencies, fueling demand in the healthcare sector. Additionally, its use in enhancing combustion efficiency in steel manufacturing and industrial processes is a key driver supporting market growth.
The healthcare segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 43.0% in 2024, during the forecast period. The chips/flakes segment of the market is widely used in solid personal care formulations like syndet and cleansing bars. These forms offer excellent handling, solubility, and heat stability, making them ideal for hot-process manufacturing. With the rising demand for waterless and eco-friendly beauty products, chips and flakes are gaining popularity among formulators seeking mild, practical surfactants.
The skin care segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 56.8% in 2024. The skin care segment is a major consumer of SLI due to its gentle cleansing properties and compatibility with sensitive skin. It is commonly used in facial cleansers, body washes, and moisturizing bars to provide a creamy lather without stripping natural oils. As demand grows for mild, sulfate-free, and dermatologically tested products, SLI continues gaining traction in mass and premium skin care formulations.
Asia Pacific dominated the market with a market share of 41.7% in 2024, during the forecast period. This is due to the rapidly expanding personal care industry and growing consumer demand for mild, sulfate-free products. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are key contributors, driven by rising disposable incomes and evolving beauty standards. Additionally, strong regional manufacturing capabilities and increasing adoption of natural and solid-format cosmetics further support market growth in the region.
