Brazil Surfactants Market, 2016-2021
Market Overview
According to the latest estimates, the surfactants in Brazil market size is expected to increase from USD 1,773 million in 2015 to USD 2,445 million by 2021, garnering a CAGR of 5.5% over the evaluated period. Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, are chemical compounds that have both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) properties. They help to reduce the surface tension between two substances, such as water and oil, by adsorbing at the interface. Surfactants are widely used in various industries and applications due to their ability to modify surface properties.
One of the primary uses of surfactants is in cleaning products. They act as detergents, helping to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants from surfaces. Surfactants lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread more easily and penetrate into the dirt, facilitating its removal. Common examples of surfactants used in cleaning products include sodium lauryl sulfate, alkylbenzene sulfonates, and ethoxylated alcohols.
Surfactants are also crucial components in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste. They help to create foaming action and improve the spreadability and emulsification of the product. Additionally, surfactants can enhance the solubility and stability of active ingredients in these products, facilitating their delivery to the desired target.
In the agricultural industry, surfactants are used as adjuvants in pesticides and herbicides. They improve the wetting and spreading of these chemicals on plant surfaces, ensuring better coverage and absorption. Surfactants also help to reduce surface tension on the leaf surface, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate through waxy layers and reach their target pathogens or pests more effectively.
Another significant application of surfactants is in the production of emulsions and microemulsions. Surfactants stabilize the dispersion of immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, by forming micelles or emulsion droplets. This property is utilized in various industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, to create stable emulsions for products such as creams, lotions, and food dressings.
Surfactants also find usage in the petroleum industry. They are employed in drilling fluids to improve lubrication and reduce friction during drilling operations. Surfactants can also be used in enhanced oil recovery techniques to alter the interfacial tension between oil and water, improving the extraction of oil from reservoirs.

Surfactants are widely used in the production of shampoos, soaps, and conditioners. Surfactants play a crucial role in cleansing and foaming properties, as well as enhancing the overall feel and texture of these products. They help to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from hair and skin, while also providing a pleasant sensory experience to the user.
The household cleaning segment includes dishwashing detergents and laundry detergents. Surfactants are the key ingredients responsible for the effective removal of grease, stains, and dirt from dishes and clothes. They aid in the dispersion and suspension of soils, improving the cleaning efficiency of these products.
I&I cleaners refer to industrial and institutional cleaners used in various commercial settings, such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and offices. Surfactants are essential components in these cleaners, contributing to their degreasing, sanitizing, and disinfecting properties. They ensure efficient cleaning and hygiene maintenance in institutional and professional environments.
Water softeners are another important application of surfactants in Brazil. They are used to treat hard water by removing excess minerals and salts that can interfere with the effectiveness of cleaning products and industrial processes. Surfactants are added to water softeners to facilitate better foam and lather formation, improving the performance of soaps, detergents, and cleaning agents in soft water.
Polymerization refers to the process of creating polymers through chemical reactions. Surfactants find applications in various polymerization processes, including emulsion polymerization, where they act as stabilizers and dispersants. They ensure uniformity and stability in the production of polymers, which are widely used in industries such as coatings, adhesives, and textiles.
