Amphoteric Surfactant Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The amphoteric surfactants are those surfactants which are carry out the cationic and anionic hydrophilic groups instantaneously. This structure comprises hermaphroditic ions. These ions can form anions and cations according to variations in ambient conditions. These amphoteric surfactants are categorised into two types: one is pH sensitive and the other is not pH sensitive. The amphoteric surfactants have low levels of toxicity and owing to their excellent resistance to hard water and antibacterial properties, it is extensively being used in the manufacture of personal care products.

Amphoteric Surfactant Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand of amphoteric surfactant in household cleaning detergents

Household cleaning detergents cover the largest share of the market among other end user industries. The household detergent trade comprises dishwasher detergents, prespotters, carpet cleaners, laundry detergents, and fabric softeners. Surface-active agents are extensively used for wetting surfaces in dishwasher detergents, aiding in soil removal. The increasing demand of household cleaning detergents is projected to enhance the growth rate of the global amphoteric surfactant market.

• Rising  demand of amphoteric surfactant in agrochemical sector

Amphoteric surfactant are also used in the agriculture sector on large scale. The applications comprise of additives mostly pesticides such as fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Furthermore, surface-active agents for instance ‘Glycine Technical Grade’ are progressively used in the agricultural practices. ‘Glycine Technical Grade’ benefits in chemical synthesis and carries mineral complexing sites for absorption in agricultural applications that makes it a perfect choice for farmers and industrial sector.

Opportunities

• Increasing focus on environment friendly products 

Currently, the amphoteric surfactants industry is focusing on renewable feedstocks to produce amphoteric surfactants products because these products have high biodegradability, less environmental impact and low toxicity. The growing demand for renewable goods which are safe to use and are less harmful to the environment will create lucrative and ample opportunities for the growth of the market.

• Growing demand for natural surfactants in personal care products

Amphoteric surfactants are normally used as secondary surfactants in cosmetics and personal care products. They can rise the production of foam production, possibly lessen irritability and enhance conditioning. Baby shampoos and other cleaning products that demand for gentleness also use them. Amphoteric surfactants are normally used in compounds with fatty alcohol sulphates rather than on their own to raise viscosity, improve solubility, lessen irritation and improve foam stability. It can also be used as an antistatic agent for synthetic fibres and a metal corrosion inhibitor as well as as textile finishing auxiliaries, dry-cleaning agents, dispersants, and dyeing auxiliaries.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Poor cleansing properties and less effective when used with emulsifiers

The major restraining factor for the market comprises stringent government regulations imposed by regulatory authorities and high cost of amphoteric surfactant. Amphoteric surfactants are expensive than other surfactants. Furthermore, other disadvantages are less effective when mixed with emulsifiers and have poor cleansing properties. These factors are anticipated to obstruct the revenue growth of the market during the forecast period.
