Global Amphoteric Surfactants Market Outlook & Forecast 2025–2034
Amphoteric surfactants are a class of surface-active molecules that possess both positive and negative charges depending on the pH of their environment, giving them unique versatility in interacting with a wide range of substances. This dual character makes them particularly valuable in formulations where mild cleansing, foaming, emulsifying and conditioning properties are required without the irritation risks associated with some conventional surfactants. Due to their zwitterionic nature, amphoteric surfactants are widely used in personal care products such as shampoos and body washes, as well as in cleaning agents, industrial applications, and specialty chemical mixtures where compatibility and performance across different pH ranges is essential.
