inear-alkylbenzene-sulfonate-market

Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is one of the most popular synthetic surfactants which is prepared by sulfonating linear alkylbenzene (LAB). This product is a petrochemical derivative and it is majorly used in the production of detergent as well as various industrial cleaners’ products. Dish washing liquids, industrial cleaners, personal care products, and household detergents & cleaners are some of the major application areas of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS).

Increasing demand for linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) from household detergent is propelling the market growth. Growing hygiene awareness coupled with the advancement in the production of detergent is again expected to accelerate the market growth. Also, the integration of AI in IoT in washing machines is contributing to the industrial expansion. Ongoing research and development activities in the field of high-efficient laundry detergent is again projected to propel the market growth of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). Increasing demand for dishwashing liquids along with the growing popularity of personal care products such as shampoo, creams, lotions, shower gels, and hair conditioners are further estimated to uplift the market growth in the near future.

In addition to this, the high demand for cleaners from various industries is projected to bring new and profitable opportunities for the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) market over the forecast period. On the other hand, strict rules and regulation associated with the production and use of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is expected to hinder the market growth.

From the geographical point of view, the Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing population coupled with the changing lifestyle of the consumers due to growing disposable income. According to the United Nation, the Asia and the Pacific region is home to 4.1 billion people or two-thirds of the world’s population. Also, rapid urbanization and industrialization in the region are further projected to propel the regional market growth of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS).

Key Developments:

In June 2019, Spanish petrochemicals producer CEPSA has upgraded its chemical plant in Puente Mayorga (Cadiz, Spain), making it the first linear alkyl benzene (LAB) facility in the world to replace hydrofluoric (HF) technology with the Detal process.

Key Players:

BASF SE, Clariant Corporation, Rhodia SA, Hansa Group AG, Croda International, Huntsman Corporation, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA,  Evonik Industries AG, Stepan Company, Galaxy Surfactants Ltd., DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company.

The Growing demand for the Electronic Nose Market Act As a Defense against Hazardous Environment

Image
  An electronic nose is an electronic device designed to detect certain flavors or odors in the air. When used, it allows for a more thorough sniffing of the air. A good example of an electronic nose used in foodservice would be a system designed to test for chemicals in the air. While there are several of these devices available on the market. They do provide a better way of evaluating the air than using a standard air sampling kit. This would also allow the odor or flavor to be determined. For instance, if a product was selling very well in an area, but it was producing a noticeable smell in areas where it was not being sold, it could be a sign that the odor or flavor was in fact present. This type of odor detection is not possible by an air sampling device alone. Another category of electronic noses is the one designed for detecting the aroma of certain foods The growing demand for the electronic nose market as a defense against hazardous environments for consumer goods and t...
