by The Detergent Polymers Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 621.1 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Detergent polymers are additives used in laundry detergents and household cleaners to improve cleaning performance. They exhibit dirt removal and anti-redeposition properties when used in low concentrations along with surfactants. Commonly used detergent polymers include polycarboxylates, polyacrylates, and polyamine-N-oxide. They form water insoluble layers on fabrics to prevent the removed dirt from settling back. This improves cleaning efficiency and provides better fabric appearance. Growing demand for premium laundry products from residential as well as commercial sectors is expected to drive the detergent polymers market over the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
The growth of the detergent polymers market is driven by two main factors. One, increasing consumption of laundry care products across the globe is fueling the demand for detergent polymers as additives that improve cleaning performance. Rapid urbanization and rising living standards have boosted the market for fabric care products. Two, polymer manufacturers are focusing on developing innovative and sustainable polymer formulations. Bio-based and enzymatically degradable polymers that offer equal or better performance compared to conventional polymers have gained significant traction in recent years. This is positively impacting the sales and driving advances in detergent polymer technology.
Segment Analysis:
Detergent Polymers market is dominating by synthetic polymers segment. This segment holds around 60% of market share due to its ability to enhance cleaning performance in detergents. Synthetic polymers have characteristics like excellent soil removal, moisture retention and colour protection properties which makes them ideal ingredient for use in laundry and household detergents.
PEST Analysis:
- Political: Stringent regulations regarding use of phosphates in detergents across various countries will drive demand for environment friendly polymers.
- Economic: Rising disposable income in developing countries is driving demand for quality detergents containing better ingredients which supports market growth.
