The rising awareness of environmental concerns has significantly increased the demand for eco-friendly surfactants in South Asia & Oceania. As consumers become more conscious of the harmful effects of traditional chemical surfactants on both human health and the environment, there is a shift toward sustainable alternatives. Bio-based surfactants, such as alkyl polyglucoside (APG), are gaining popularity due to their environmentally friendly properties. APGs are derived from renewable raw materials, such as coconut and corn oils, and are fully biodegradable. The production process combines glucose and fatty alcohols to create a surfactant that breaks down naturally, reducing environmental impact. This growing demand for green cleaning products is a response to the need for safer, healthier, and more sustainable alternatives in various industries.

Rising Demand for Alkyl Polyglucosides in Eco-Friendly Homecare and Personal Care Products

Alkyl polyglucosides (APGs), known for their mildness, biodegradability, and surface activity, are increasingly used as emulsifying agents in various formulations. These non-ionic surfactants help lower surface tension between immiscible liquids like oil and water, enabling efficient blending and stabilizing emulsions. Their ability to enhance the stability of emulsions makes them suitable for a range of personal care and cosmetic products, where compatibility with skin and mucous membranes is essential. APGs are particularly effective in applications where gentle yet reliable performance is needed, making them a popular choice for formulations targeting sensitive skin.

The demand for APGs is rising in the homecare sector due to their superior cleaning properties, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. Products like laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and surface cleaners are increasingly incorporating APGs. For instance, Earth Friendly Products’ ECOS laundry detergent uses APGs as its primary surfactant, while Method All-Purpose Cleaner and Ecover Dishwashing Liquid rely on APGs to deliver effective cleaning without harmful effects. Their ability to enhance foam and reduce surface tension makes them ideal for use in eco-friendly homecare products, offering powerful cleaning without compromising environmental safety.
