南美洲界面活性劑市場：市場佔有率分析、產業趨勢與統計及成長預測（2026-2031 年）

根據 Mordor Intelligence 預測，南美洲界面活性劑市場規模預計在 2025 年達到 147 萬噸，2026 年達到 150 萬噸，到 2031 年達到 166 萬噸，2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 2.09%。

本報告按類型（陰離子界面活性劑、陽離子界面活性劑等）、原料（合成界面活性劑和生物基界面活性劑）、應用（家用肥皂和清潔劑、個人護理用品、商用和工業清潔劑等）以及地區（巴西、阿根廷、智利、哥倫比亞、秘魯和其他南美國家）進行細分。市場預測以噸為單位。

南美洲表面活性劑市場趨勢與洞察

個人護理和家居護理產品消費激增。

2024年，拉丁美洲化妝品和個人保健產品的銷售額總合247.4億美元，其中巴西佔了98.3億美元。這一成長凸顯了消費者從傳統固態轉向高級產品（如液體沐浴露和洗髮精）的趨勢。溫和的兩性界面活性劑（如椰油醯胺丙基甜菜鹼）的價格比通用型醇類界面活性劑（LAS）高出30%至50%，即使原油衍生原料成本波動，也能確保價格穩定。 2024年，巴西液體清潔劑的零售額達到6.9781億美元，主要得益於都市區滾筒洗衣機的日益普及，而這些洗衣機更傾向於使用醇醚和醇醚硫酸酯（AES）類洗滌劑。在阿根廷，由於高通膨限制了家電的更換，粉狀清潔劑仍然佔據主導地位。在哥倫比亞和秘魯，清潔劑的普及程度在都市區地區存在差異，這給經銷商的庫存管理帶來了挑戰。

加速擴大農藥生產能力

2023年至2024年間，巴西農藥處理的耕地面積增加了6.1%，達到8,500萬公頃。 BRANDT Consolidated公司投資1500萬美元在其位於朗多諾波利斯的輔助工廠生產用於大豆和玉米種植的醇醚組合藥物。由於新投資的延遲，阿根廷製劑生產商依賴進口，但修訂後的噴霧漂移指南正在增加對低發泡、高溫穩定性好的非離子介面活性劑的需求。巴西監管機構計劃在2027年前逐步淘汰農作物保護產品中的烷基酚聚氧乙烯醚，從而將需求轉向符合ISO 14001標準的脂肪胺聚氧乙烯醚和醇醚。

加強APEO和含磷廢水法規

巴西國家環境委員會（CONAMA）通過2024年第498號法令，將工業污水中的烷基酚含量限制在10微克/公升，並將清潔劑中的壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚（NPE）含量限制在0.1%（質量分數），該法令將於2027年1月生效。在阿根廷，全氟烷基和多氟烷基物質（PFAS）將被列入持久性有機污染物（POPs）清單，並將於2026年12月前禁止在消防泡沫中使用含PFAS的界面活性劑。轉向使用醇聚氧乙烯醚和胺氧化物將使原料成本增加8%至12%，這對以競標主導的代理管道構成挑戰。

細分市場分析

2025年，陰離子界面活性劑的銷售量佔比達到46.85%，其中LAS因其在粉狀清潔劑中的廣泛應用而佔據主導地位。 AES和AOS則憑藉其在液體清潔劑和洗髮精中的應用，進一步提升了銷售量。 LAS的價格波動與煤油衍生的直鏈烷基苯密切相關，這促使巴西東北部地區轉向使用MES。在該地區，由於當地油脂化學原料的優勢，MES與LAS的成本差異已縮小至每噸不到100美元。諸如用於鋰浮選的仲磺酸鹽和用於超溫和洗滌劑的磺基琥珀酸鹽等特殊細分市場，雖然規模較小，但盈利豐厚。

預計到2031年，兩性界面活性劑和其他類型的界面活性劑將以3.05%的複合年成長率成長，這主要得益於個人護理品牌對溫和性的重視以及到2027年APEO助表面活性劑的逐步淘汰。非離子界面活性劑主要由醇乙氧基化物組成，其產品正從烷基酚乙氧基化物轉向源自巴西油脂化學工業的線性C12-C14醇乙氧基化物。監管壓力和優質化趨勢正在逐步重塑南美洲表面活性劑市場的類型模式。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

According to Mordor Intelligence, the south america surfactants market size is projected to be 1.47 Million tons in 2025, 1.5 Million tons in 2026, and reach 1.66 Million tons by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 2.09% from 2026 to 2031.

This report is Segmented by Type (Anionic Surfactants, Cationic Surfactants, and More), Origin (Synthetic Surfactants and Bio-Based Surfactants), Application (Household Soaps and Detergents, Personal Care, Institutional and Industrial Cleaning, and More), and Geography (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Rest of South America). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Volume (Tons).

South America Surfactants Market Trends and Insights

Growing Personal- and Home-Care Consumption Boom

Latin America's cosmetics and personal-care sales totaled USD 24.74 billion in 2024, with Brazil alone contributing USD 9.83 billion. This growth highlights a shift toward premium products, such as liquid body washes and shampoos, over traditional bar soaps. Mild amphoteric surfactants like cocamidopropyl betaine command a 30-50% price premium over commodity LAS, ensuring price stability even amid fluctuations in crude-derived feedstock costs. Brazil's liquid laundry detergent retail value reached USD 697.81 million in 2024, driven by urban adoption of front-loading washing machines that favor alcohol ethoxylate and Alcohol Ethoxy Sulfate (AES) systems. In Argentina, powder detergents remain dominant due to high inflation limiting appliance upgrades. Colombia and Peru exhibit mixed adoption of detergent formats across urban and rural areas, complicating distributor inventory management.

Accelerating Agrochemical Capacity Additions

Brazil's pesticide-treated cropland expanded by 6.1% between 2023 and 2024, reaching 85 million hectares. BRANDT Consolidated invested USD 15 million in an adjuvant plant in Rondonopolis to supply alcohol-ethoxylate blends for soybean and corn crops. Argentine formulators depend on imports due to delayed greenfield investments, but revised spray-drift guidelines are driving demand for low-foam, high-temperature-stable nonionics. Brazilian regulators plan to phase out alkylphenol ethoxylates in crop-protection products by 2027, shifting demand toward fatty-amine ethoxylates and alcohol ethoxylates that meet ISO 14001 standards.

Tightening APEO and Phosphorus Effluent Laws

Brazil's Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA), 498/2024 limits industrial effluent alkylphenol content to 10 µg/L and restricts detergent nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) to 0.1% by mass starting January 2027. Argentina has added PFAS compounds to its POPs inventory and will ban PFAS-containing surfactants in firefighting foams by December 2026. Reformulating to alcohol ethoxylates and amine oxides increases raw material costs by 8%-12%, a challenge for tender-driven institutional channels.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Bio-Based Surfactants Favored by Oleochemical Feedstock Growth
2. Lithium-Ore Flotation Chemicals Demand Spike
3. Crude-Oil Price Volatility Hitting LAB Feedstock

Segment Analysis

Anionic surfactants accounted for 46.85% of 2025 volume, with LAS dominating due to its prevalence in powder detergents. AES and AOS contributed additional volume through liquid detergent and shampoo applications. LAS price volatility, linked to kerosene-derived linear alkylbenzene, is prompting a shift toward MES in Brazil's Northeast, where localized oleochemical feedstocks narrow cost differences to less than USD 100/t compared to LAS. Specialty sub-segments, such as secondary alkane sulfonates in lithium flotation and sulfosuccinates in ultra-mild cleansers, offer niche but profitable opportunities.

Amphoteric surfactants and other types are projected to grow at a 3.05% CAGR through 2031, driven by personal-care brands emphasizing mildness and the phase-out of APEO co-surfactants by 2027. Nonionics, primarily alcohol ethoxylates, are transitioning from alkylphenol ethoxylates to straight-chain C12-C14 alcohol ethoxylates derived from Brazil's oleochemical industry. Regulatory pressures and premiumization trends are gradually reshaping the South America surfactants market by type.
