Market Trends

Industrial Cleaners Application to Dominate the Market

• The most widely used categories of surfactants in industrial cleaning applications are Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonates (LAS), Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APE), and Alkyl Ethoxylate (AE); together they account for more than 50% of the total share
• Industry cleaning activities generally include industrial manufacturing processes and heavy-duty soil removal process
• LAS surfactants in industry cleaning are used mainly as auxiliary cleaning agents, in which the majority of the cleaning is done by other parameters such as alkalinity, temperature, the pressure of water, and chemical cleaning agents
• LAS surfactants are included in industrial cleaning for other purposes such as foam control, bactericidal application, rinseability, and emulsification
• LAS surfactants are used in industrial cleaning primarily for hard surface cleaning and metal cleaning
• Industrial cleaning is the third-largest application segment for surfactants globally and is expected to witness a steady growth rate over the forecast period
