DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Global
Surfactants – Procurement Market Intelligence Report" report
has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Global Surfactants Market, provides up-to-date information about market
shifts and potential risks, as well as in-depth knowledge of products
and services, which can help in planning and in executing category
management activities. It focuses on the cost-saving aspects of
procurement and on providing insights that can lead to optimization of
category spend.

One-third of the current market is dominated by bio-based surfactants,
which are developed using sugar and natural oils such as palm and
coconut. Additionally, surfactant manufacturers are looking to enhance
their production capacities by developing bio-based refineries through
strategic collaborations and JVs with cross-border partners. Improved
environmental awareness is influencing factors such as purchasing
decisions and stringent regulation and restrictions in the development
of new molecule formulations for surfactants are contributing to the
increasing demand for bio-based surfactants.

One of the procurement best practices for buyers in the global
surfactants market is to partner with suppliers that provide
high-performance and efficient surfactants tailored to specific end-user
applications. Buyers prefer to partner with suppliers that have the high
scientific expertise and technical know-how in developing low-cost
molecular structures.

According to the report, the surfactants industry has been experiencing
an increasing transition from synthetic alcohols to oleo-alcohols. Also,
around one-third of the current market is currently dominated by
bio-based surfactants, which are developed using sugar and natural oils
such as palm and coconut.

Further, the report states that one of the key procurement challenges
faced by buyers is the delays in procurement of surfactants due to
issues in logistics, transportation, and customs. Moreover, import and
customs issues across international ports may delay the shipments of
surfactants.
