In terms of technological iteration and capacity construction, domestic APG bio-based surfactant projects have successively entered trial production, and international leading chemical enterprises are also accelerating the layout of bio-based production lines overseas. At the same time, low-foam and phosphorus-free industrial surfactant products are increasingly applied in metal cleaning and electroplating industries, with excellent alkali resistance and environmental performance recognized by the market. Affected by high-cost raw materials, the market price of mainstream non-ionic surfactants remains stable, downstream purchasing demand is relatively cautious, and the global market maintains steady growth driven by personal care, household cleaning and new energy fields. Looking ahead, regulatory compliance and green bio-based transformation will still be the core development direction of the industry, and raw material price fluctuations and increasing compliance costs will continue to affect enterprise profit margins in the second quarter of 2026.
