Rhamnolipid biosurfactants—past, present, and future scenario of global market
Open accessAbstract
Biosurfactants are natural surface active agents produced by various microbes (bacteria, yeast and fungi) and plants. There are several categories of biosurfactants which are marking their presence felt in the international market viz. sophorolipids, lipopeptides, methyl ester sulphonate (MES), alkyl polyglucoside (APG), sorbitan esters and sucrose esters however rhamnolipids - the glycolipid biosurfactants - produced mostly by Pseudomonas species are believed to be the future biosurfactant market leaders due to their significant applications. Pseudomonas species produce rhamnolipids in the presence of immiscible substrates such as n-alkanes, hexadecane and several oils. The global biosurfactant market is expected to reach $2.8 billion in 2023, which includes both microbial and plant based surfactants. The rhamnolipid market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.4% from 2014 to 2020 owing to the widespread applications of rhamnolipids in various sectors. The present article gives analytical opinion on the current market growth rate of rhamnolipids, key players in rhamnolipid manufacturing, the obstacles faced by the industry and the factors that are holding back rhamnolipids to become market leaders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
