Global Cationic Surfactant Market Size is Expected to Grow to $2379.49 Million by 2028

Global Cationic Surfactant Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global cationic surfactant marketsize is expected to grow to $2379.49 million by 2028 with a CAGR of 9.65% from 2023 to 2028.

A cationic surfactant is a surfactant in which a hydrophobic group is connected to a positively charged hydrophilic group through a covalent bond. Cationic surfactants exhibit unique performances such as antistatic properties bactericidal properties, and softness due to their special structure. These special properties cannot be replaced by other types of surfactants.

Market Trends

Cationic surfactants generally have good emulsifying, wetting, washing, sterilizing, softening, antistatic and anticorrosive properties. Due to their special properties and applications, they have good development potential. With the constantly expanding of industrial and civilian applications, the variety and demand will continue to increase. Compared to active agents, the cationic surfactant has a narrow application range and a small amount, so the threat from anionic and non-ionic surfactants cannot be ignored.

Market Dynamics

In September 2022, Stepan Company acquired a surfactant manufacturer PerformanX Specialty Chemicals, LLC. This move strengthened Stepan's position in the surfactant market.

In March 2022, BASF launched a biosurfactant that is made from renewable resources and coconut oil. This product is a protein derivative from non-GMO soybean and is named Plantopon Soy (anionic surfactant).

At present, the sellers in the cationic surfactant market are mainly some well-known regional suppliers. The market is relatively fragmented, and the competition is moderate.Sellers in the market are focusing on technological innovation, and simpler and more efficient production technologies provide new growth opportunities for sellers.Clariant is one of the major players operating in the Cationic Surfactant market, holding a share of 8.33% in 2022.Clariant AG is a global specialty chemicals company whose products and services are grouped into four business areas: care chemicals, catalysis and energy, natural resources, and plastics & coatings.
