As per industry analysis by Fact.MR – market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global microbial biosurfactants market is estimated to exceed a valuation of USD 16.5 million by 2022, and to expand at a significant CAGR of close to 3.9% by value over the assessment period.
Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between gas & liquid or two liquids etc. Surfactants are used in corrosion inhibition, to promote oil flow in porous rocks and produce aerosols.
Rhamnolipids are widely used in pharmaceuticals & therapeutics due to their prominent properties such as surface-active properties, low toxicity and antimicrobial activities against several microbes.
Microbial synthesized surfactants are called biosurfactants. Different classes of biosurfactants have a significant position in both microbiology & biotechnology. Currently, agriculture observes a most vital contest of stagnant crop yield. The detection to surge the agricultural production for satisfying the food demand of the continuously increasing population led to the overt custom of several agrochemicals.
Moreover, the introduction of agrochemicals pointedly surged the agricultural production but continuous use of these has suggestively weakened the health of the agroecosystem due to their long persistence in the environment. Microbial biosurfactants are extensively used in numerous industries because of their advanced feature like high biodegradability, renewability, and functionally care taken under extreme conditions and they are more advantageous than chemical-based biosurfactants.
The rise in the use of biodegradable, non-toxic and eco-friendly products is propelling the growth of the product market. Moreover, the wide use of microbial biosurfactants in personal care, for instance, removal of skin and hair dirt is escalating product demand in the global market.
Additionally, the increased use of microbial biosurfactants in applications like oilfield chemicals, household detergents etc. is likely to drive market growth in coming years.
