Anionic Surfactants Market Size

Anionic Surfactants Market size was valued at over USD 20 billion in 2022 and is slated to grow at 5.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 driven by increasing government funding and initiatives for oil & gas projects globally.
 

Anionic Surfactants Market

Anionic surfactants have a negative charge on their polar head, which helps them get easily repelled by sandstones and other materials present in oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery processes. In wake of the post-pandemic energy crisis, many world governments are turning back towards oil & gas to secure their respective future energy demands, augmenting the market scenario. For instance, the government of Indonesia recently announced efforts towards boosting the nation’s oil & gas yield and also focusing on scouring potential investments for the upstream sector.
 

 

Drawbacks of large-scale product applications may hinder industry scenario

With extensive application of the product, it likely has a widescale presence in both industrial and domestic wastewater. If this contaminated water is directed towards industrial wastewater treatment plants that cannot process the chemical, or worse, is directly dumped into the environment, it can result in serious environmental pollution. The material is known to have a very toxic effect on living organisms, which may pose a challenge for industry progress.
