The Low Foam Surfactants market size was valued at USD 18.26 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 28.62 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.78% over the forecast period of 2025-2032.
The low foam surfactants market is expanding at a healthy pace, owing to an increase in demand for bio-degradable formulations, bio-based surfactants, and industrial low foam surfactants. Regulatory measures, including the U.S. state restrictions on 1,4-dioxane, are driving the use of low-foam detergent additives that meet safety standards. Major low foam surfactants companies, including Nouryon, have developed AG 6206, an EPA CleanGredients and Safer Choice-designated biodegradable surfactant. EPA-listed, Stepan’s BIO-TERGE PAS 7S is an example of such innovation in sustainable cleaning. Additionally, the market trends for low foam surfactants are also influenced by digital resources and partnerships in personal care, pharma, and home care.
More than 950 surfactants are on the safer chemical ingredients list, and nearly 2,000 products have the safer choice label, according to the E.P.A. This is likely to provide downward pressure on the low foam surfactants market growth and enhance the low foam surfactants market trends, and exhibit the evolution of the low foam surfactants industry due to the existing low foam surfactants market size and key low foam surfactants market analysis.
Drivers:
Artificial Intelligence–driven Personal Care Formulation Discovery Reduces Development Time Significantly
A rise in the use of formulation tools with artificial intelligence is changing the dynamics of the low foam surfactants market. These libraries enable businesses to replicate molecular behavior and predict surfactant performance prior to physical testing, accelerating the time it takes to bring new products to market. For instance, Nouryon introduced its BeautyCreations AI platform in 2025, reducing the number of trial cycles by 40%. This is driving innovation in low-foam detergent additives and bio-based surfactants for personal care and home care. This digitization helps meet the go-to-market schedules even more quickly and improves the market position of leading low foam surfactant players.
USDA BioPreferred Program Certification Accelerates the Adoption of Bio-Based Surfactants
The BioPreferred program of the USDA is a significant driver for bio-based low foam surfactants. The federal program would also have the effect of compelling agencies to favor certified products, and public labelling, which promotes consumer confidence. Over 20,000 biobased products are already in the program as of 2023, including surfactants for agriculture and industrial cleaning. This government-sanctioned recognition adds credibility to low foam surfactant players and also encourages investment in green chemistry, in line with green market trends. It further extends the market share of low foam surfactants in regulated industries.
Restraints:
Technical challenges in achieving a low-foam and high-performance balance limit the application range
The preparation of low foam surfactants that provide good cleaning properties and low foaming properties is difficult to prepare. Studies conducted by ARS by USDA in biosurfactant production, particularly rhamnolipids, have shown problems associated with up-scaling and purification. All of these challenges add 25%-30% to the time and cost of R&D. This has led only a few companies to propose low-foam biosurfactants at an industrial large scale with a high purity level. This limits their use in applications where uniform performance is needed, such as for pharmaceuticals and food preparation.
By Product
The non-ionic segment dominated the market, capturing a 45.9% share in 2024, driven by alkyl polyglucoside, which provide low-foam performance and environmental compatibility. These surfactants produce superior foam control for process applications and are EPA Safer Choice certified and included in the agency’s list of more than 950 approved surfactants. Top Low Foam Surfactants Firms, such as Nouryon and Stepan are growing their alkyl polyglucoside production to help satisfy volume demands for eco-friendly household and personal care, consolidating the sector’s position with capacity expansions globally.
The amphoteric segment emerged as the fastest-growing segment with the highest CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period of 2025-2032. The low-foam detergents additives, such as in hard waters, are more attractive for such institutional and agrochemical applications. With more than 20,000 USDA BioPreferred program-certified biobased products, including amphoteric surfactants, this is one ingredient on which regulatory momentum is building. As a result, the leading low foam surfactant companies globally are now building global, next-generation betaine production with a view to pipeline capacity with sustainable market growth.
By Application
The personal care and cosmetics segment dominated the market, with the largest market share of 30.1% in 2024, driven by skin conditioning sub-types that include low-foaming surfactant activity interspersed with moisturizing effects. These formulas feature bio-based surfactants, such as alkyl polyglucoside to meet the needs of environmentally conscious beauty shoppers. There are more than 950 surfactants approved by the EPA Safer Choice program, which are confirmed safe for people and the planet. Top low-foam surfactant providers, including Stepan and Croda, have expanded vast skincare ranges with sustainability tie-ins and new product launches that cement segment leadership.
The pharmaceutical segment grew fastest, achieving a 6.7% CAGR over forecast period of 2025-2032. More stringent FDA clean-in-place guidelines further encourage non-ionic low-foaming surfactants in an ultraclean environment to decrease surface residues and validation time cycles. Stepan and Evonik had their early response in specialized CIP formulations, such as BIO-TERGE PAS 7S and FDA-approved E-Series detergents that spurred additional investment in pharma-grade surfactants. This consistency of regulation and performance continuity supports the segment’s overall global direction in the low foam surfactants market.
North America dominated the low foam surfactants market in 2024 with a 34.8% share, influenced by regulatory requirements, such as the E.P.A.’s Safer Choice program, which in 2024 listed 27 safer chemicals that can be used to create low-foam detergent additives. USDA’s BioPreferred purchasing regulations, however, also drove the adoption of bio-based surfactants in areas such as agriculture and personal care. Major low-foam surfactant producers, such as Dow and Stepan, increased production capacity. Steapn significantly raised alpha olefin sulfonates (AOS) production by 25% at all U.S. and Canadian plants to keep pace with the spike in demand.
The U.S. dominated North America’s low foam surfactants segment in 2024, with over 70% share in institutional cleaning applications and a market size valued at USD 4.42 billion in 2024, is projected to reach a value of USD 6.86 billion in 2032 with a CAGR of 5.65%.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.
Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.
The 5 steps process:
Step 1: Secondary Research:
Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.
Step 2: Primary Research
When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data. This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.
We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.
Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.
This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.
Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.
Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.
Step 3: Data Bank Validation
