In terms of type by end-use, the fatty alcohol ethoxylates segment dominated the market in 2023 with a revenue share of 57%. This growth is attributed to the fact that they are known for their excellent surface-active emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, and solubilizing properties. They are widely used in personal care products, as well as in household cleaning, agricultural, and industrial applications thus, driving their demand in the market.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are produced by reacting ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols. These alcohols are typically derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or palm oil. They can vary in chain length. Common examples of fatty alcohol ethoxylates are lauryl alcohol (C12), stearyl alcohol (C18), and cetyl alcohol (C16). Moreover, the number of ethylene oxide units added during ethoxylation determines the degree of ethoxylation and impacts the properties of the resulting ethoxylate.
Fatty Acid Ethoxylates is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR of 5.95% over the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that they are highly ethoxylated, and have superior solubility and dispersing properties that facilitate their use in personal care products. Moreover, in household cleaning products, fatty acid ethoxylates help in the removal of dirt, grease, and stains by reducing the surface tension of liquids and improving their ability to penetrate and disperse soils.
In terms of function, the cleaning agent segment dominated the market in 2023 with a revenue share of 46%. This is attributed to their excellent ability to dissolve grease and dirt. They are a type of non-ionic surfactant, which implies they have no charge. This makes them well-suited for use in cleaning products as they do not react with other chemicals found in the environment.
In addition to laundry detergents, ethoxylates are also used in other cleaning products such as all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, and dishwashing detergents. These products benefit from ethoxylates’ ability to break up dirt and grease, making them more effective at cleaning. Thus, the growing demand for cleaning products is anticipated to propel the growth of the product market over the forecast period.
Emulsifying agent segment is anticipated to witness a notable CAGR over the forecast period. Emulsifying agents are substances that help to create stable emulsions by mixing two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. Ethoxylates work as excellent emulsifying agents because of their unique chemical properties. When added to water, they can form micelles tiny spheres with a non-polar core and a water-soluble outer shell.
These micelles surround oil droplets and allow them to mix with water, creating a stable emulsion. They are commonly used in detergents, cosmetics, and textiles to emulsify creams, lotions, and chemicals. In addition to their emulsifying properties, the product can act as solubilizers. For example, they can be used to dissolve fragrances into cosmetic products and solubilize essential oils in cleaning products.
