Research and Markets: Microbial Biosurfactants Market (Rhamnolipids, Sophorolipids, Mannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL) and Other) - Global Industry Analysis 2014 - 2020

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xh2s4b/microbial) has announced the addition of the "Microbial Biosurfactants Market (Rhamnolipids, Sophorolipids, Mannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL) and Other) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering.

The global microbial biosurfactants market for household detergents application is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2014 to 2020

Microbial biosurfactants form an important constituent of detergents, as their efficiency is higher even at lower concentrations as compared to synthetic detergents. The personal care application segment is one of the fastest growing applications in the next few years. Microbial biosurfactants possess high moisturizing properties as compared to synthetic surfactants. Chemicals in synthetic surfactants may harm the skin. Microbial surfactants have applications in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), which is used for improving recovery of the oil and petroleum products from oil wells. Microbial surfactants are less detrimental to the environment and do not require large thermal energy. They are used in low concentrations for recovery process as compared to synthetic surfactants.

Europe dominated the global microbial surfactants market in 2012, accounting for nearly 54% 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 reach USD 4.3 million by 2020. Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a considerable rate due to increasing consumer awareness for bio-based products.

The global microbial surfactants market is highly consolidated, with the top three players accounting for more than 50% of the overall market in 2012. Companies such as Ecover, Soliance and Saraya operate across the value chain from manufacturing to end applications of these surfactants. Leading players in the market include MG Intobio, Ecover, Saraya, Soliance, AGAE Technologies and Jeneil Biotech.
