The global biosurfactants market size is expected to reach USD 4.74 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2024 to 2030. Rising consumer preference for bio-based products, particularly in Europe and North America, is expected to be the key factor driving the market growth. In addition, stringent regulatory policies are expected to augment the demand for biosurfactant over the next six years.
Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) was the most consumed biosurfactant, accounting for 33.26% of the 344 kilo ton global market in 2013. Its superior properties, in terms of foaming and stability, as compared to other surfactants make it ideally suited for use in household detergents. Other key biosurfactants include Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG), Sorbitan Esters, and Sucrose Esters, with combined demand estimated at 115 kilo tons in 2013.
