Biosurfactant Market Size By Type (Glycolipid, Fatty Acids, Neutral Lipids), By Source (Bacteria, Fungi, Agricultural Waste, Agro-Industrial Waste), By Application (Environmental Remediation, Laundry Detergent, Food Processing, Pharmaceuticals) - Industry Trends Analysis & Forecast 2030

Market Overview

Biosurfactants are derived from natural and biodegradable renewable resources that are produced by bacteria or fungi. Like vegetable-based and petroleum-based surfactants, they can have excellence emulsifying, foaming, wetting, dispersing and even remediation properties. Over the period of time, the adverse impact of the synthetic surfactants on various things as well as on the environment, has led to the adoption of biosurfactants all over the world. Surfactants are surface-active amphiphilic compounds that require high cost of production, that use glucose as the sole source of carbon. But the use of bagasse and orange peels can increase the production by 20%. Therefore, continuous innovations can lead the global biosurfactants market to grow.

Market Share by Type & Geography

On the basis of type, glycolipid dominated the global biosurfactants market with a revenue share of 42.6% in 2017. The major glycolipids such as rhamnolipids, trehalolipids and sophorolipids have the compound structure that lowers the surface and interfacial tension, thus it is highly preferred in biosurfactants. Of the total biosurfactants, 60% are glycolipids. Biosurfactants are predominantly used in environmental remediation and it has the major application share, and it is expected to grow at a rate of 11.6% over the forecast years.

Based on geography, Europe had the largest market share of 32.4% in 2017, having the maximum number of manufacturers producing biosurfactants in this region such as Ecover, Biotensidon and more. Europe is the opportunistic market in the growth of biosurfactants, with the major application in environment remediation in order to achieve the sustainable environment goals. Countries such as Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, the U.K. and others have high ranking in environmental performance index, thus being the most opportunistic countries for penetration of biosurfactants.

Market Trends, Drivers and Challenges

There is a rising trend of application of inoculants of biosurfactant producing bacteria for the phytoremediation of hydrocarbon polluted soil. Application of the biosurfactants in phytoremediation on a large scale is attracting more innovations in this field.

According to the report, major driving factor for the growth of biosurfactants market is the steps taken towards mitigating the adverse impacts of the synthetic surfactants, which is depleting the non-renewable resources, non-degradable as well as the toxicity being passed on to the consumers, are impacting the growth of biosurfactants market.

Further, though biosurfactants are ecofriendly, but some experiments have shown that under certain circumstances biosurfactants can be toxic to the environment. The major challenge for the biosurfactant producers is to have careful and controlled use of surface active molecules in such a way that can cleanup of the toxic environmental pollutants and provide a clean environment.
