Increasing demand for bio-based products,
especially in Europe, and rising consumer awareness in developing countries is
anticipated to drive the global microbial surfactants market. Additionally,
favorable regulatory outlook in developed countries is estimated to fuel market
growth in the next few years. However, high prices of microbial surfactants
vis-à-vis plant-derived and synthetic counterparts are projected to hamper
market growth. The application of microbial biosurfactants in the environmental
sector is likely to offer immense opportunities in the global microbial biosurfactants
market during the forecast period.
Sophorolipids emerged as the largest microbial
biosurfactants in 2012, accounting for 54% of the global market in 2012. These
are the most preferred surfactants for commercialization due to high production
yields. These are expected to be the fastest growing microbial surfactants
during the forecast period. MEL is in the nascent stage, with low volume of
production. Rhamnolipids are the second-largest microbial surfactants consumed
globally. These surfactants are widely used in enhanced oil recovery,
biopesticides and bioremediation.
Household detergents emerged as the leading
application in the microbial biosurfactants market in 2012. Consumers are
shifting from synthetic chemical-based products to bio-based products due to
increasing environmental awareness. The personal care application segment
emerged as the second-largest application of the total microbial biosurfactants
market and is expected to reach USD 2.39 million by 2020. The demand of
microbial surfactants for oil field, agriculture applications is expected to
grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.

Europe dominated the global microbial surfactants
market in 2012, accounting for 54.7% of the overall market. Europe dominates
the consumption of microbial biosurfactants due to stringent regulations
regarding usage of bio-based products. It is expected to be the fastest growing
region during the forecast period. Europe was followed by North America, which
is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% in terms of demand, from 2014 to 2020.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a considerable rate due to increasing
consumer awareness for bio-based products. Rest of the World (RoW) accounted
for a smaller share of the market owing to less consumer awareness and high
prices of products.
The global microbial surfactants market is highly
consolidated, with the top three players accounting for 60.9% of the overall
market in 2012. Leading players in the market include MG Intobio, Ecover,
Saraya, Soliance, AGAE Technologies and Jeneil Biotech.
