The global alkyl polyglucosides market size is expected to reach USD 1.63 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2023 to 2030. The cleaning, wetting, and emulsification properties of alkyl polyglucosides are driving their adoption across key end-use industries such as home care, pharmaceutical, and refining.
The application of APG in homecare products has been on the rise in recent years due to increasing consumer awareness of the environmental and health impacts of traditional cleaning products. Consumers are seeking products that are safer for their families and the environment, and APGs are meeting that demand.
One example of the growing adoption of APG in homecare products is laundry detergents. They are used as a primary surfactant in many eco-friendly laundry detergents due to their excellent cleaning performance and low toxicity. For instance, ECOS Laundry Detergent by Earth Friendly Products is a popular laundry detergent that uses APGs as its primary surfactant.
As consumers become more conscious of the environmental and health impacts of traditional cleaning products, alkyl polyglucosides are becoming a popular choice for homecare manufacturers. APGs offer an effective and sustainable solution for cleaning products, and their popularity is only expected to increase in the coming years. For instance, Croda International PLC announced in 2021 that it will be expanding its production capacity for APGs in Europe. The company is investing in a new production facility in France, which will increase its production capacity and support its growth strategy in the European market.
