Global Beauty and Personal Care Surfactants Market is valued at approximately USD 9 Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.79% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Surfactants are surface-active substances used in a variety of products, including cosmetics and personal care items. Surfactants are used in products such as shampoos, soaps, facial cleansers, and body washes in the beauty and personal care sector to give foaming, cleaning, and emulsifying qualities. The market demand is primarily driven by the factors such as growing demand for personal care items, increasing consumer awareness about skincare and rising demand for natural and organic products.

In addition, the increasing disposable income of consumers and growing awareness about personal care products are acting as major driving factors for market growth and investments by companies. Holiferm, the biotech branch of the University of Manchester announced raising 8 million euros to construct a facility that makes biosurfactants made from virgin rapeseed oil and glucose in order to strengthen its position in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Similarly, Evonik, a German specialty chemicals company invested 3 million euros to construct a new bio-based and biodegradable rhamnolipids (biosurfactants) manufacturing plant in response to Evonik’s innovative research and development in January 2022. The emerging consumer awareness and need for bio-based personal care products are propelling the demand for beauty and personal care surfactants in the global market. Furthermore, the increasing technological advancements in beauty and personal care industries and increasing urbanization are presenting lucrative opportunities for market growth over the forthcoming years. However, the growing concern about the safety of personal care products is restricting the market growth over the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Beauty and Personal Care Surfactants Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue due to the rise in the working population, rise in the application of personal care products and rise in the demand for anti-ageing products. Whereas, North America is also expected to grow at the highest growth rate over the forecasting period. Factors such as growing awareness about skin and hair care products, growing awareness about grooming and increasing pollution are burgeoning the market growth in the forecasting years.
