About this market
Developing economies significantly to the global cationic surfactant market. Many OEMs of surfancts are shifting their manufacturing activities to these countries because of factors such as easy availability of raw materials, land, cost- effective labor and many more. These increasing population and industrialization in developing countries are likely to drive the consumption of detergents, industrial cleaners and personal care products. Favorable government policies in China and India attract manufacturing companies to invest and build their industrial plants in these countries. Technavio analysts have anticipated that the market will report a CAGR of more than 4% by 2023.
Market Overview
Extensive use of cationic surfactants in consumer and industrial cleaning
Cationic surfactants are used in the formation of detergents because of their ability to dissolve grease, oils, fats for cleaning. They are used with anionic surfactants to reduce the surface tension between water and the dirt on clothes. They are suitable for removing grease stains. The increasing use of cationic surfactants for industrial cleaning applications will augment the growth of the market.
Threat of substitutes
The substitutes are extensively used as emulsying, foaming, wetting, spreading and dispersing agents. They are used in detergents, personal care products, cosmetics, I&I cleaning, oilfield chemicals and agrochemicals.
