Market Overview

Biosurfactants are active compounds or surface-active biomolecules that are primarily produced on the microbial cell surface and have a higher biodegradability and lower toxicity than synthetic surfactants. It contributes to bioremediation by increasing the surface area of substrates. They are used in a variety of industries such as cleaning, cosmetics and personal care, agriculture, and others. The United States biosurfactants market is expanding primarily due to their use in the cosmetic and personal care industries. Increased production of cosmetic and personal care products, as well as rising consumer preference for bio-based surfactants, are expected to drive the United States biosurfactants market size in the coming years.

Driving Factors

Consumers, businesses, and regulators are becoming more worried about the environmental impact of chemical products in a period of rising environmental consciousness. Biosurfactants are an environmentally friendly option for a wide range of applications because they are biodegradable and less harmful to ecosystems. Consumers who are concerned about the environment are looking for detergents that are biodegradable and degrade into non-toxic components in the environment. Green detergents that incorporate biosurfactants, such as biosurfactants, are preferred for their environmental friendliness. Furthermore, various marketing activities and campaigns conducted by market participants raise consumer awareness of detergent products such as gels, pods, and liquids. To minimize negative environmental effects and ensure customer safety, biodegradable and non-toxic surfactants are also used in the formulation of personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and skincare products. Furthermore, rising living standards, a growing population, rising urbanization, a surge in innovative product launches, and rising consumer awareness of health and hygiene are all factors driving U.S. demand for household detergents and cleaning products.

Restraining Factors

Manufacturers face difficulties when achieving economically viable industrial production of biosurfactants. Biosurfactant production is expensive due to lower yields than commercial synthetic surfactants. High feedstock costs, as well as costly purification and downstream processing, all have an impact on production costs. The main disadvantage of biosurfactants is their high price, which is a major factor reducing biosurfactant demand.

Market Segment

• In 2023, the glycolipids segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the type, the United States biosurfactants market is segmented into glycolipids, alkyl polyglucosides, methyl ethyl sulfonates, sucrose esters, sorbitan esters, and others. Among these, the glycolipids segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Glycolipids, a type of biosurfactant, are well known for their excellent emulsifying properties. These remarkable molecules have a one-of-a-kind ability to reduce surface and interfacial tensions, making them highly desirable in a variety of industrial applications. The superior environmental compatibility of glycolipids is one of the primary factors contributing to their dominance in the biosurfactants market. Because of their environmentally friendly properties, glycolipids emerge as a standout choice as industries increasingly shift toward sustainable practices. These compounds are not only biodegradable, but also non-toxic, reducing their environmental impact significantly.

• In 2023, the household detergents segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States biosurfactants market is segmented into household detergents, personal care, food processing, oilfield chemicals, textiles, and others. Among these, the household detergents segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Surfactants are essential in the creation of laundry and household cleaning products. They allow detergents to penetrate and remove dirt and grease more effectively by lowering surface tension. While synthetic surfactants have long been used, rising environmental concerns and shifting consumer preferences toward more environmentally friendly products have paved the way for eco-friendly alternatives such as biosurfactants.
