Market driver: excellent properties accelerating the demand

Sodium
lauryl sulfate is an anionic surfactant that is being used in
detergents due to its high solubility and emulsifying properties. It
acts as a solubilizer to enhance the solubility of active ingredients in
detergents, personal care, and cosmetic products. It has both
hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. Thus, it is known as an
amphiphilic substance. It is used in many stain-remover products to
remove dirt, oily stains, and residues as it is soluble in water. It is
an alkali substance with high pH value and is available in the dry and
liquid forms. Due to its high ability to form lather and foam, it is
used in various products to remove oil stains.

According to Kurva Samba Sivudu, a lead analyst at Technavio for specialty
chemicals research, “Sodium lauryl sulfate is rarely added to
baby products. Baby soaps and shampoos use a mild cleanser such as
sodium laureth sulfate. Products based on sodium laureth sulfate show
better cleaning and high foam formation and are usually less expensive.
It is added to bath soaps, toothpaste, facial cleansers, and creams to
increase the thickening effect. It exhibits good emulsifying and
dispersing properties, due to which it is used in food nutrients,
beauty, and personal care products.”

Market trend: increasing preference for bio-based surfactants

Owing to the increasing concerns over the toxic effects of synthetic
surfactants on the environment and humans, there has been an increase in
the use of bio-based surfactants as an intermediate compound in the
production of detergents, personal care products, and cosmetics.
Bio-based surfactants such as fatty methyl ester sulfonates (FMES),
alcohol ether sulfonates, furan methane sulfonates, tannic acid-fatty
acid non-ionic surfactant, and alkyl glycosides, are gaining popularity
because of their excellent biodegradability, non-toxicity, and reduced
impact on the environment. Fatty Methyl Ester Sulfonate (FMES) is
biodegradable and can replace the linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS)
or sodium lauryl sulfate as it is made from coconut oil or palm oil. It
provides desirable surfactant properties to detergents and personal care
products.

Market challenge: environmental hazards impacting the demand

Sodium
lauryl sulfate is used as an industrial cleaner for cleaning and
degreasing purposes. The disposal of water from industrial and household
wastewater systems affects the environment, particularly aquatic life,
and other living organisms. Furthermore, sodium lauryl sulfate exhibits
a strong tendency toward bio-accumulation. It pollutes the groundwater
and is not detected in water filters used in municipal water systems.
Since it is highly combustible, it emits toxic fumes when burned. This
irritates human health and aquatic life.
