Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Market Poised for Steady Growth, Projected to Reach USD 231.5 Million by 2035 | Fact.MR Report

Sodium cocoyl glutamate industry worth USD 142.1 million in 2025 will achieve USD 231.5 million by the end of 2035 and rise at 5.0% CAGR by Fact.MR analysis.

In 2024, the market saw growth defined by significant changes in both upstream raw material dynamics and downstream consumer directions. Clean beauty formulations stimulated growing adoption among mid-range and up-and-coming personal care players, particularly in Southeast Asia and Latin America.

But makers were hit by cost pressures from unstable coconut oil prices, SCG's primary raw material, owing in part to unstable weather patterns in the Philippines and Indonesia. The instability prompted several formulators to renegotiate contract terms and re-optimize supply chains to keep competitive margins.

In addition, North America enjoyed consistent momentum with the boost of dermatologically tested formulates picking up retail shelf space at drugstores. Simultaneously, China's domestic market grew as local brands continued to replace tougher surfactants with gentler options such as SCG in baby care and sensitive-skin lines.

Regulator-wise, continuing debate in the EU regarding microplastic and sulfate prohibitions made SCG even more appealing as a safer and environmentally friendly substitute.

Market Dynamics

The growth in consumer demand for clean beauty cosmetics has had a major impact on the uptake of SCG, especially within Southeast Asia and Latin America. These markets have seen a significant transition towards dermatologically tested and sulfate-free products, consistent with international patterns towards natural and sustainable ingredients.

But the industry has its challenges, most particularly the price volatility of coconut oil, a major raw material used in the production of SCG. Weather fluctuations in major producing nations such as the Philippines and Indonesia have caused supply chain disruptions, which have forced manufacturers to adjust their sourcing strategies and streamline production processes to ensure cost-effectiveness.

Regional Insights

North America remains an important market for SCG due to the rising presence of dermatologically tested items in stores. On the other hand, the domestic market of China is growing as domestic brands are increasingly substituting SCG for baby care and sensitive-skin products and abandoning harsh surfactants.

Regulatory updates in the European Union, notably dialogue regarding microplastic and sulfate prohibitions, are also increasing SCG's value as a safe and environmentally friendly option in personal care products.

Industry Trends and Consumer Preferences

A recent Fact.MR survey, covering 500 stakeholders in the USA, Western Europe, Japan, and South Korea, picked up on key industry trends and regional preferences. Interestingly, 87% of the respondents preferred SCG's mildness and skin-friendliness, while 73% liked its natural claims.

Regional differences could be seen with stakeholders in the USA prioritizing sulfate-free versions and formulation disclosure. In Western Europe, the focus was on eco-certification and biodegradability, while Japan and South Korea considered compactness and multifunctionality, frequently co-blending SCG with other amino acid surfactants as a cost-savings measure.
