Beauty and personal care surfactants are chemical compounds that reduce surface tension between substances, facilitating the mixing of oil and water-based ingredients. They are integral to a wide array of personal care products, including shampoos, conditioners, facial cleansers, body washes, and lotions, where they function as cleansing agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and conditioners.
The beauty and personal care surfactants market consists of revenues generated by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) involved in the production and sale of surfactants used in cosmetic products. They facilitate the mixing of oil and water, enabling effective cleansing and stabilization of formulations like lotions, shampoos, and body washes.
The global beauty and personal care surfactants market was valued at $9,248.26 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3.00%.
Growing Importance For Sustainable Personal Care Ingredients
During the historic period, the growing importance for sustainable personal care ingredients propelled the growth of the beauty and personal care surfactants market. The growing emphasis on sustainable personal care ingredients is driving demand for eco-friendly, biodegradable, and plant-based surfactants. This shift encourages innovation and investment in green chemistry, expanding market opportunities for mild and sustainable surfactant solutions. For instance, in December 2023, according to a report published by CleanHub, a Germany-based network of local Collection Hubs to facilitate the collection and safe processing of plastic waste, a survey of 500 consumers found that 63% consider clean beauty to be either extremely important or very important when selecting cosmetics. Therefore, the growing importance for sustainable personal care ingredients drove the growth of the beauty and personal care surfactants market.
Advancing Sustainable Surfactant Production Through Facility Expansion
Companies in the beauty and personal care surfactants market are actively expanding their facilities to boost production capacity, enhance operational efficiency, and meet the rising market demand. This strategic growth enables them to strengthen their competitive edge and support long-term business success. Facility expansion involves scaling up physical infrastructure, such as manufacturing plants and operational spaces, to improve efficiency, increase output, and broaden market reach. For instance, in May 2024, Evonik Industries AG, a Germany-based specialty chemicals company, has opened a new biosurfactant plant in Slovakia. The facility is the first in the world to produce rhamnolipid biosurfactants on an industrial scale, marking a significant milestone in sustainable surfactant production. These high-quality biosurfactants are already transforming the cleaning, beauty, and personal care industries, with potential for broader applications. The expansion leverages the site's established biotech capabilities, making it an ideal location for large-scale rhamnolipid manufacturing. This development enhances production capacity, ensuring a reliable supply of sustainable biosurfactants to meet growing market demand. The facility's advanced infrastructure supports innovation and scalability, further driving the adoption of eco-friendly surfactant solutions. By enabling industrial-scale production, the expansion contributes to reducing reliance on synthetic surfactants, aligning with global sustainability goals. This milestone strengthens the company's position as a leader in biosurfactant technology while fostering new opportunities for environmentally responsible product development.
The global beauty and personal care surfactants market is fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 7.59% of the total market in 2023.
