Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate is a low-cost and very effective for wetting, cleaning, foaming, emulsifying, and solubilizing, good biodegradation, broad compatibility, good solvency, resistance to hard water, and minimum irritation to eye and skin. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate [SLES] market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecasted period. Factors such as the rising demand for consumer awareness concerning hygiene and personal cleanliness is one of the essential factors that will positively impact the growth of the global SLES market in the forecasted period. Further, the health benefits of residential and institutional cleanliness are expected to drive the demand for the Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, higher standards of hygiene and cleanliness have led to an increase in demand for sodium lauryl ether sulfate, which is extensively used in detergents and cleaners, personal care products, agrochemicals, and medical chemicals are expected to drive the demand for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate market in the forecasted period. However, the rise in the availability of bio-based chemicals is expected to restrain the global sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) market in the forecasted period.

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate [SLES] are used extensively in a variety of products such as shaving cream, lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail treatments, makeup remover, foundation, facial cleansers, exfoliants, liquid hand soaps, Shampoo, conditioner, hair dye, dandruff treatment, styling gel, and more.

The sodium lauryl ether sulfate market size is predicted to increase during the forecast period, owing to the rise in the adoption of sodium lauryl in several industrial cleaners, personal care products, and the food industry. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is a cleansing agent for several products. It is a yellowish-white paste that works as an anionic surfactant in personal care products such as cosmetics and soaps. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate liquid is obtained from natural sources such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil. SLES lowers the surface tension between the ingredients of a product. This exclusive property makes it an ideal foaming and cleansing agent. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is utilized in an extensive range of applications in personal care products such as hair care, skin care, and oral care products owing to its chemical stability and mildness on the skin in contrast to other anionic surfactants such as phosphoric acid esters, alkyl-benzene sulfonates, and carboxylic acid salts. The increased demand for sodium lauryl ether sulfate for hair care products creates profitable opportunities for global producers. On the other hand, various international agencies, with the support of local governments, are encouraging hygiene awareness programs in developing countries. This is anticipated to drive the demand for anionic surfactants such as SLES during the forecasted period, considering their superior performance characteristics and cost-effectiveness compared to other alternatives. Thus, a rise in the need for personal care product and development in awareness about personal hygiene is anticipated to increase the demand for SLES during the forecasted period.

Asia Pacific dominates the sodium lauryl ether sulfate [SLES] market. Consumer demand for personal care products such as cosmetics and hair care products, as well as detergents and cleaners, primarily laundry detergents, has increased, resulting in a significant market share. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is a solid amphiphilic anionic surfactant compatible with fat and water. The product is widely available and effectively removes stains, making it a popular ingredient among detergent manufacturers. SLES has become one of the most popular primary surfactants for liquid detergents due to its unique properties, ease of formulation and production, and compatibility with other surfactants. Even though sodium lauryl ether sulfate is inexpensive, readily available, and has good foaming properties, certain factors are likely to limit global market growth. One of these factors is sodium lauryl ether sulfate's long-term toxicity. SLES functions in cleaning products as a surfactant, wetting surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil so it can be rinsed away. This ingredient contributes foaming properties to cleaning products such as detergents. In addition, sodium lauryl ether sulfate [SLES] often helps break water tension and attract dirt and grime away from the material intended to clean. The detergent industry is growing in various regions, further accelerating the SLES market growth. Liquid detergents are gaining popularity owing to their outstanding cleaning characteristics, ease of application, and cost efficiency. The rise in population and a considerable increase in disposable income, primarily in emerging economies, has augmented the demand for efficient detergents. This, in turn, has resulted in an essential rise in sales of liquid detergents. The increase in the popularity of laundry services in developing countries, along with fast urbanization, has also positively influenced the demand for liquid detergents. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is used widely in liquid detergents such as dishwashing, shampoos, bubble bath liquids, and hand-washing products. Excellent detergency and compatibility with all other surfactants make SLES one of the most favored primary surfactants for liquid detergents. Thus, development in the liquid detergent market is awaited to fuel the demand for SLES during the forecasted period.

The market's key players are Huntsman Corporation, Solvay, Evonik Industries AG, Clariant AG, and BASF SE.

On June 14, 2022, Solvay, a leading supplier of cosmetic ingredients, introduced Microsoft SL L60 and Microsoft SL A60, two new high-performance biosurfactants that enable the growth of sustainable beauty care products. Based on rapeseed oil and sugar with a low environmental and carbon footprint, these glycolipid biosurfactants are desirable for a wide range of applications in beauty care products such as conditioners, shower gels, face washes, shampoos, and creams.
