At 5.1% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Sophorolipid and Rhamnolipid Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 61.36 Million by 2030, Says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights research, the Middle East & Africa sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market was valued at US$ 41.29 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 61.36 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2030. Advantages associated with usage of sophorolipids and rhamnolipids and growing demand from detergents & cleaning products industry are among the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market expansion.

Sophorolipids 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. Sophorolipids have various properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, that allow their application in different industries such as detergents, personal care, and many others. They are also highly efficient in reducing the surface and interfacial tensions. Further, rhamnolipids 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. Rhamnolipids 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 sophorolipids and rhamnolipids 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 sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market growth.

On the contrary, high cost of sophorolipid and rhamnolipid production hamper the growth Middle East & Africa sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market.
