Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is an anionic surfactant obtained by sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene. It is used in detergents, soaps, and industrial cleaning products as wetting agents and emulsifiers. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate are cost-effective, biodegradable, and offer excellent dissolution rate. Growing demand for biodegradable surfactants in dish washers, laundry, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, hard surface cleaners, wax strippers, dairy cleaners, degreasers, and car wash among others is driving growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market. The availability of substitutes such as alcohol ether sulfates (AES) for linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is one of the major restraints for growth of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate market.
Market Dynamics
Among applications, the household detergents and cleaners segment accounted for the highest share in 2016. This is due to increasing utilization of LAS as surfactant in detergents and cleaning products due to its biodegradable and environmentally-friendly properties. Asia Pacific holds the largest LAS market, followed by North America and Europe.
