Industry Definition and Segmentation

Sulfonation of saturated fatty acid methyl esters obtained from natural fats and oils produces methyl ester sulfonates (MES), anionic surfactants. It has strong detergency, is resistant to water hardness, and is biodegradable. It's a surfactant used in the production of laundry detergent powders and detergent cakes, and it has a cleaning effect. The Methyl Ester Sulfonate industry report comprises segments by application (Laundry and Dishwashing) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America).

The Asia Pacific Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

The Asia Pacific region holds the largest share in the market due to the high growth rate of powder detergents in the region's growing nations, such as India and China. The easy availability of feedstock, which makes the manufacturing operation more cost-effective, also boosts the area industry's expansion. Domestic demand will increase due to an increase in the usage of MES as a substitute for LAS. Due to rising LAS costs and expanding market for powder detergents in the Asia Pacific area, there has been a surge in demand for MES.

The market is primarily driven by the product's application in the detergent segment. Methyl ester sulfonate is a detergent and calcium ion stabiliser developed from sustainable natural resources. Apart from that, methyl ester sulfonate is a less harmful and biodegradable substance. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting MES because it has surfactant capabilities, a solid structure, and is biodegradable, which helps them reduce their carbon impact. Consumers who are environmentally aware are looking for MES in detergents since it assures environmental sustainability and efficiency.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Methyl Ester Sulfonate industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Methyl Ester Sulfonate regions, such as engagement models and contract terms and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

The esterification and transesterification of crude palm oil and sulfonation, refining, and neutralisation are all used to create MES. To boost surfactant efficacy in removing dirt and decomposing organic compounds, photocatalyst TiO2 nanoparticles are used as an addition. The mole ratios of the reactants in the esterification and transesterification processes and the mole ratios of methyl esters to NaHSO3 during the sulfonation reaction are varied. Several MES surfactants and TiO2 nanoparticle combinations were tested to achieve detergent stability.

Change in Lifestyles, Further Driving the Procurement of Methyl Ester Sulfonate

The methyl ester sulfonates business benefits from rising demand from various application areas such as dishwashing paste and agriculture industries in emerging regions such as the Asia Pacific. Growing disposable incomes and expanding hygiene awareness in Asia Pacific nations such as China and India are essential drivers for the business. As greater emphasis is placed on grooming and style, the younger generation has increased spending on personal care items. Rising washing machine adoption in developing economies is likely to fuel demand for cost-effective detergents during the projected period. Another factor likely to increase demand for methyl ester sulfonate throughout the projected period is manufacturers’ increasing preference for bio-based raw materials.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
