At 5.1% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Biosurfactants Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 148.63 million by 2030, says The Business Market Insights

According to the Business Market Insights’ research, the Middle East & Africa biosurfactants market was valued at US$ 100.03 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 148.63 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2030. Advantages associated with usage of biosurfactants and growing demand from detergents & cleaning products industry are the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa biosurfactants market expansion.                     

Biosurfactants offer several advantages over chemical surfactants, such as high biodegradability, diversity of biological properties, and renewable characteristics being synthesized as a mixture of different molecules. Biosurfactants have various properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, that allow their application in different industries, such as detergents and personal care. They are also highly efficient in reducing surface and interfacial tensions. Further, biosurfactants are highly used in applications across many industries, such as bioremediation, cosmetics, agriculture, food processing, and pharmaceuticals owing to their efficient surface and biological capabilities. Biosurfactants effectively lower surface tension, exhibit low toxicity, have a strong wetting ability, and promote the biodegradation of poorly soluble substrates. Therefore, rising awareness regarding the advantages associated with the usage of biosurfactants is propelling their use in different application sectors such as personal care & cosmetics, household detergent, industrial cleaners, agriculture, food processing, and leather processing, thereby driving the Middle East & Africa biosurfactants market growth.

On the contrary, high cost of biosurfactants production hurdles the growth of Middle East & Africa biosurfactants market.
