Has your business diversified? Have you improved the sustainability of your processes? Are buyers after low costs or top quality products?
Join global surfactants industry leaders to find out how companies are tackling these issues and understand how shifting consumer trends are shaping the industry.
Major oleochemicals and surfactants producers are integrating downstream whilst end-user companies acquire upstream businesses, squeezing smaller players. A challenging palm kernel oil price environment has caused synthetically-produced feedstocks to be used more prevalently worldwide.
Asia and Africa show growing demand for cleaning and personal care products. Consumers in Europe and North America raise the pressure for affordable, sustainable and high-performance products. Regulatory requirements and the increasing awareness for environment-friendly products are driving bio-based innovations and new product development, whilst cost optimization, performance enhancement and new applications continue to be key areas of interest throughout the value chain.
Surfactants industry members have much to discuss in 2018.
