Definition and Growth of the Biosurfactants Market:
The growing demand for bio-based personal care products and the environmental awareness to use bio-compatible and low toxic products has led to a growing demand for biosurfactants.

Biosurfactants are used in various industries because of their excellent foaming, wetting, emulsifying and detergency qualities.
Concerns about the use of synthetic surfactants has compelled many manufacturers to assess the biodegradability of their products. Biosurfactants have emerged as a popular choice, thus boosting the growth rate of the market to over 6% between 2015 and 2019.
