Rising Focus on Developing Bio-Based Products Fuels the Middle East & Africa Sophorolipid and Rhamnolipid Market

In recent years, environmental sustainability has become an important developmental goal. Efforts are now being driven toward a biomass-based economy, as compared to the fossil fuel-based economy. Various economies focus on fulfilling sustainability goals by developing and using bio-based products partially or fully derived from renewable biological sources. The surfactants industry is focusing on making surfactants from bio-based sources. Various surfactants used in different industries are derived from petroleum sources and are resistant to biodegradation. In addition, toxic pollutants are generated during their synthesis, which are persistent and represent a significant environmental hazard. Therefore, the interest in green and sustainable biosurfactants is increasing to overcome these limitations. Biosurfactants are produced by diverse microbes using various substrates from renewable sources such as industrial and agricultural waste materials. Rhamnolipids are an alternative to chemically synthesized surfactants due to their diversified structures and biocompatibility properties. Sophorolipids are highly used as biosurfactants in various industries due to their low toxicity and high biodegradability. Further, due to rising concerns about the environment, various industries use sophorolipids and rhamnolipids to develop bio-based products and contribute to the environment. Thus, the rising focus on developing bio-based products is projected to boost the Middle East & Africa sophorolipid and rhamnolipid market growth over the coming years.
