The market size of global surface active agents 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. Major players in the surface active agents market are BASF SE, Clariant, Akzo Nobel N.V. (The Netherlands), Air Products and Chemicals (U.S.), E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. (U.S.), Kao Corporation, Stepan Company, Ashland, Evonik Industries AG, and Reliance Industries Ltd. 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.

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 global drone inspection and monitoring market is segmented - 1) By Type: Fixed Wing, Multirotor, Hybrid 2) By Mode of Operation: Remotely Piloted, Optionally Piloted, Fully Autonomous 3) By Solution: Software, Services, Platform, Infrastructure 4) By Application: Construction And Infrastructure, Agriculture, Utilities, Oil And Gas, Mining, Other Applications The global drone inspection and monitoring market size grew from $10.21 billion in 2022 to $11.89 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%.
