How has the surface active agents market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?
An increase in demand for surface-active agents from various end-user industries is driving the market. Surfactants in the food industry are used as emulsifiers, which are important for the formation and stabilization of the food structure. Moreover, there is a growing awareness of healthy food, which requires bio-surfactants with high biodegradability and lower toxicity. For instance, in 2023, according to the Food & Drink Federation, a UK-based organization that represents and advises UK food and drink manufacturers, Scotland registered 1,185 companies that manufacture food and beverages. Further, exports of food and beverages rose by 31% in 2022 to $10.18 billion (£8.1 billion). The rising demand from end-users drives the surface active agents market.
