Silicone surfactants are copolymers of silicone and polyether’s. The molecules comprising silicone surfactants consist of a linear hydrophobic silicone backbone, partly grafted by non-ionic polar chains, such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. They are widely used in industrial applications owing to high surface activity. Silicone surfactants have recently been shown to enhance the efficiency of microemulsions. They improve the emulsification of the raw materials, providing sufficient nucleation and stabilising the foam expansion. Moreover, surface active silicone compounds are extensively used in personal care, oil and gas, coatings, polyurethane foams and agriculture applications.
The global silicone surfactants market is witnessing remarkable growth owing to rising demand from the personal care and other end-use industries. Furthermore, the overall market is also being propelled by increasing demand for polyurethane (PU) foams globally. The market is further boosted by technological advancements in the production of silicone surfactants by various vendors across the globe. However, the global silicone surfactants market is hampered by stringent environmental regulations against the use of conventional surfactants and high cost of silicone surfactants.
The report analyses the global silicone surfactants market based on application, end use industry and geography.
Based on application, the market is segmented into defoaming agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, foaming agents, wetting agents and others. The emulsifier segment held the largest market share in 2017 and is anticipated to flourish at a lucrative rate, owing to high demand in personal care, construction and paints & coatings end-use industries.
Based on end use industry, the global silicone surfactants market is segmented into personal care (skincare and haircare), agriculture, construction, paints & coatings, textile and others. Among various industries, the personal care segment held the largest share of the silicone surfactants market in 2017. Silicone surfactants are widely used in skincare, haircare, and personal hygiene products, thus propelling the segment growth.
By geography, the global silicone surfactants market is studied across the countries of key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the world.
