Surface mining refers to the method of extracting minerals near the surface of the earth. It is the removal of the terrain surface to access minerals underneath. Surface mining has a lower financial cost and is a lot safer than underground mining. The main types of surface mining are strip mining, open pit mining, and terrace mining. Strip-surface mining refers to a mineral-extraction process in which a layer or seam of undesired material is being removed from the surface of an area to allow efficient access to the desired material existing underneath the layer being stripped. The different minerals include metallic ore, non-metallic ore, coal mining, and others, and involve several end users such as metals, electric power industries, manufacturing, and others.

Surface-active agents are substances with the ability to adsorb to solid surfaces and fluid interfaces and act as multifunctional ingredients. Surface-active agents are used in detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants in order to lower the surface tension. The main product types of surface-active agents are non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and cationic surfactants. A cationic surfactant is a form of surfactant with a positive charge on its hydrophilic end. The substrates are synthetic and bio-based. The various applications involved are household detergent, personal care, industrial and institutional cleaners, food processing, oilfield chemicals, agricultural chemicals, textiles, plastics, paint and coating, adhesives, and other applications. The surface-active agents market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides surface-active agents market statistics, including surface-active agents industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a surface-active agents market share, detailed surface-active agents market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the surface-active agents industry. This surface-active agents market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future state of the industry. The global surface active agents market size will grow from $28.85 billion in 2022 to $30.35 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global surface active agents market size is expected to grow from $37.94 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.7%. An increase in demand for surface-active agents from various end-user industries is driving the market. Surfactants in the food industry are used as emulsifiers, which are important for the formation and stabilization of the food structure. Moreover, there is a growing awareness of healthy food, which requires bio-surfactants with high biodegradability and lower toxicity. According to a research study on biosurfactants, production, and application prospects in the food industry in 2020, among biosurfactant-producing microorganisms, some yeasts present no risks of toxicity or pathogenicity, making them ideal for use in food formulations. Moreover, globally, 50% of food surfactants produced are used in bakery products, indicating the number of surface-active agents required. The rising demand from end-users drives the surface-active agents market. Strict regulations imposed by government agencies are hindering the market's growth. Surfactants cause environmental and health issues, which compels regulatory bodies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) to monitor the manufacturing units of surfactants to keep the toxicity levels as permissible. For instance, as per the US Food & Drug Administration, CFR—Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, the use of surfactants should not exceed 10 parts per million in the production of sodium chloride. An emulsifier should not exceed 0.1% of the finished frozen dessert for human consumption. Therefore, stringent policies on surfactants used in food industries hamper the growth of the market. Extra concentrated laundry detergents are becoming popular as they reduce water consumption. Companies are developing concentrated detergents that can save as much as 45 million gallons of water per year and also require less plastic for packaging and make transportation more energy-efficient. For example, Sokalan HP 20 improves the dissolution of the surfactants into the liquid, providing a 30%–50% reduction in cold-water dissolution time. Major companies manufacturing extra concentrated laundry detergents include Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Henkel AG & Company, and Church & Dwight Co., Inc. In September 2020, Stepan, a US-based manufacturer of specialty chemicals, acquired Clariant for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition of Clariant supports Stepan’s growth strategy in Latin America and enhances the ability to support customers’ growth in the Mexican consumer and functional markets for surfactants.

Drone inspection and monitoring refers to the technique of evaluating an asset utilizing an unmanned aircraft as drones have the benefit of accessing locations that are challenging, expensive, risky, live, or even impossible for manned inspection teams to access. In inspection and monitoring applications, drone cameras frequently take the place of the human eye. The use of drones for inspection and monitoring allows inspectors to avoid risky locations like scaffolding or tall, slender buildings. The drone inspection and monitoring are used to collect visual data on the condition of an asset by monitoring, inspection, and mapping operations. The major types of drone inspection and monitoring devices are fixed-wing, multirotor, and hybrid types. A fixed-wing drone is a drone that has one rigid wing that looks and works like an airplane and provides lift rather than vertical lift rotors. It is operated in various modes such as remotely piloted, optionally piloted, and fully autonomous. The different types of solutions include software, services, platform, and infrastructure that are used by applications such as construction and infrastructure, agriculture, utilities, oil and gas, mining, and others. The drone inspection and monitoring market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides drone inspection and monitoring market statistics, including drone inspection and monitoring industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a drone inspection and monitoring market share, detailed drone inspection and monitoring market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the drone inspection and monitoring industry.
