on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The
report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the
coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors
operating in this market.

One trend in the market is declining demand from developed economies.
The global specialty surfactants market is witnessing a shift in
manufacturing sites from the West to the East, predominantly after the
recession period in 2008. There has been a worldwide shift of
manufacturing units from the developed parts of the world, such as North
America and Europe, to the developing parts of the world.

According to the report, one driver in the market is growing personal
care industry in emerging economies. Specialty surfactants are widely
used in various personal care products such as skin care and bath
products, fragrances, hair care products, cosmetics, and several other
products. These surfactants are used as inactive ingredients that impart
physical properties and as active ingredients that impart functional
properties. The demand for specialty surfactants is increasing in the
personal care industry. The demand for the products is increasing from
urban customers whose needs are developing and as they seek products for
specified applications.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is
increasing competition from vegetable-based surfactants. Specialty
surfactants are primarily used in the detergents and personal care
industries, owing to their lower cost of production over bio-based
surfactants/vegetable-based surfactants. However, their toxic and
non-biodegradable nature is hampering the environment and impeding its
popularity.
