Linear Alkyl Benzene Market Segment Analysis - By Application

Surfactant & Detergent has been the primary market for Linear alkyl benzene as, Surfactants are one of many different compounds that make up a detergent and unsaturated polyester works as resins in it. They are added to remove dirt from skin, clothes and household articles particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. They are also used extensively in industry. The term surfactant comes from the words surface active agent. Surfactants function by breaking down the interface between water and oils and/or dirt. They also hold these oils and dirt in suspension, and so allow their removal. They are able to act in this way because they contain both a hydrophilic (water loving) group, such as an acid anion and a hydrophobic (water hating) group, such as an alkyl chain. Izod test is has become the standard testing procedure for comparing the impact resistances.


Linear Alkyl Benzene Market Segment Analysis - By End Use

Laundry & Detergents industry holds the largest market share in Linear alkyl Benzene market. Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LABS) is a colorless organic compound and an intermediate chemical, used mainly for the purpose of manufacturing household and industrial cleaning agents. Thermoplastic composites material is highly used for packaging of personal care and detergents products. LABS also enjoy a good demand from the detergent industry as its basic raw material. The applications of LABS include heavy-duty laundry liquids, light-duty dishwashing liquids, laundry powders, etc. Countries such as India, China, etc., are the leading manufacturer of laundry detergent. India is one of the largest producers of soaps and detergents, globally. Government initiatives, such as the Swachh Bharat Mission, promote health and hygiene.  Such initiatives, along with growing usage of soaps and detergent, have led to the growth of the manufacturing industry, which is further boosting the demand of Linear alkyl benzene market.


Linear Alkyl Benzene Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

APAC has dominated the Linear alkyl benzene market with a share of more than x%, followed by North America and Europe. In countries such as India, China, the market for the soap, washing powder and synthetic detergent industry is growing, due to increasing awareness about hygiene and development in the liquid soap segment. China is becoming the largest market in terms of cosmetics and skincare products, globally. Whereas, India is one of the largest producers of soaps in the world. The aforementioned factors are contributing to the increasing demand for linear alkyl benzene (LAB) consumption in the region, during the forecast period.
