Latin America Surfactants Market Size
The Latin America surfactants market size was valued at USD 4.34 million in 2024, and the market size is expected to reach USD 6.13 million by 2033 from USD 4.51 million in 2025. The market is growing at a CAGR of 3.92%.
Surfactants are compounds that reduce surface tension between two liquids or gas and liquid or liquid and solid. Surfactants may be used as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants. Surfactants have both hydrophilic (Head) and hydrophobic (Tail) groups, hence are amphiphilic in nature. The water-insoluble oil particles are trapped between the surfactants molecules forming a sphere-like structure, known as a micelle, with heads on the outside and a long chain of tails attached to the oil particles inside the micelle.
