By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 9.8 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 3.01% during 2026-2034. Market growth is supported by sustained demand from household and industrial detergents, rising consumption of cleaning products, urbanization, and continued use of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate as a cost-effective and efficient surfactant in detergent formulations.
Latest News and Developments:
- November 2025: Moeve and Honeywell expanded their strategic alliance to scale up production technologies for linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) by focusing on bio-based linear alkylbenzene (LAB), the core raw material for LAS surfactants used in household detergents. The expanded collaboration aims to make Moeve’s NextLab-R renewable LAB technology available through Honeywell’s licensing platform, offering detergent manufacturers a lower-carbon, high-performance raw material solution.
Product Description
Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is an extensively utilized surfactant, primarily found in detergents and cleaning products. This surfactant is synthesized by sulfonating linear alkylbenzene (LAB), which is derived from petrochemicals. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is popular for its superior cleaning properties, biodegradability, and cost-effectiveness. It has molecules with a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing it to effectively remove dirt, grease, and stains from fabrics and surfaces as an anionic surfactant. This makes it a key ingredient in household and industrial detergents, dishwashing liquids, and various cleaning agents. Its wide usage is driven by its efficiency in hard and soft water, and environmental compatibility due to its biodegradability. Despite being derived from non-renewable resources, LAS remained a cornerstone of the cleaning industry due to its versatility and performance.
