Polysorbate is a general term for sorbitol esters and anhydrides that have been condensed with polymers of ethylene oxide. They are oily liquids derived from polyethylene glycolated sorbitan esterified with fatty acids. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Polysorbate market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like the increasing use of Polysorbate in the food industry, which is used as a preservative to keep processed food products fresh, are expected to drive the global market. Further, in the pharmaceutical industry, Polysorbate is a synthetic nonionic surfactant used as an excipient in drug formulation that is projected to drive the global market. Furthermore, in the cosmetic industry, Polysorbate is used as an emulsifier in skin products, which helps mix water and oil and is expected to drive market growth. However, Polysorbate has been associated with several adverse side effects. In food, small amounts of undigested polysorbate may facilitate bacterial translocation over intestinal epithelia. Polysorbate has been linked to several systemic responses in medication formulations such as hypersensitivity, nonallergic anaphylaxis, rash, which is expected to hinder the global market growth.

Polysorbate is commonly used in many foods such as ice cream, frozen custard, ice milk sherberts, whipped toppings, and other frozen desserts. It is used in oncology chemotherapy, supportive care, or prevention. It is an ingredient in baby oil, cosmetic creams, cream deodorant, lotions, and sun lotion. It is used as a surfactant in soaps and as a lubricant.

The Food Industry is the most vital consumer of Polysorbate and is projected to drive the Global Market. Polysorbate is used as a defoamer in yeast and cottage cheese, solubilizing and dispersing agent in a pickle, and in vitamins and vitamin-mineral combinations, making the Global Market for Polysorbate bound to rise. Ice cream companies in the United States produced slightly over 1 billion gallons of ice cream in 2020, up 6% from 2019. Hard ice cream output increased by 4% in the first five months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Sales of frozen novelty items such as fudgesicles and ice cream bars increased by 24% from March to May 2021, compared to the same period in 2019. Polysorbate improves the melting resistance of ice cream. This is by preventing the milk protein from coating the fat droplets. This will result in a net of chains. This network will hold the air that was added to give a firmer texture as the ice cream softens and melts, the demand for the industry shoots, thus driving the Global Polysorbate Industry. Therefore the mentioned use of Polysorbate in the Food Industry is expected to grow and drive the overall market in the future.

The Asia-Pacific is expected to be the leader in producing and consuming Polysorbate, with most consumption in countries like China and India. With the growing population, the demand for Polysorbate in the food industry increases. Polysorbate is used as a dill oil dispersing agent in canned vegetables, ice cream, and other frozen desserts, which helps increase and improve smoothness, thus driving the global Polysorbate market. Polysorbate excipient is used in the pharmaceutical industry to stabilize aqueous formulations medications for parenteral administration or vaccinations, which drives the need for Polysorbate in the Global Market. In the cosmetic industry, Polysorbate is used in a variety of products, including skin fresheners, skin care products, skin cleansing products, shampoos, makeup bases, foundations, and fragrance powders, as they help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified expected to drive the demand for Polysorbate in the market. Polysorbate is used as a lubricant in eye drops, driving the global Polysorbate market. Polysorbate is a gentle, oily, liquid additive that functions as a nonionic surfactant and wetting agent that enhances the spreadability of liquids, driving the Polysorbate market. The mentioned factors have made the Asia-Pacific an essential region for growth in the Polysorbate Market.

Some of the market's key players are NOF America Corporation, Lotioncrafter LLC, N.S. Chemicals, Croda International Plc, Solenis, among others.

In October 2020, NOF America Corporation submitted a drug master file to CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation, National Medical Products Administration) for Polysorbate 80 (HX2)™, which is ultrapure polysorbate 80, is now in compliance with the United State Pharmacopeia, the Japanese Pharmacopeia, the European Pharmacopeia, and the Chinese Pharmacopeia.
