The Global Biodegradable Detergents Market size was valued at USD 6.89 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 14.99 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 11.88% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. This growth is attributed to various factors. Stringent regulation & government support policies in various regions like North America & Europe are one of the major growth drivers for the market. Regulations have been imposed by authorities on the use of harmful chemicals in conventional detergents. Additionally, there is a rising demand for enzyme-based and plant-based biodegradable substitutes with increasing consumer awareness about the adverse impact of detergent chemicals on the environment. Further, market demand has grown at a very high pace in emerging nations as a result of high rates of urbanization and increased consciousness about hygiene. With increasing adoption in commercial & industrial markets that are consistent with their own sustainability initiatives and procurement requirements, there is a rise in demand. Moreover, product performance improvements based on innovations in biodegradable surfactants and natural cleaners have also boosted consumer acceptance and penetration.

Various trends are reshaping the market dynamics. As a result, the market is shifting towards e-commerce & digital platforms which is helping eco-friendly brands to reach a wider customer base that majorly involves Gen-Z & Millennials who are prioritizing sustainable choices.  Another significant trend is the expansion of third-party certifications which have helped consumers in identifying and trusting environment-friendly products. Many countries especially in Europe like Germany, France, and the U.K. mandate public institutions to purchase environmentally preferable detergents as per the EU Detergents Regulation. The market is witnessing lucrative opportunities involving various supermarkets and regional players launching new eco-friendly products through white labeling and local brand expansion.

However, various challenges are impeding the market growth. The high cost of production of these products, mainly the plant-based biodegradable surfactants, creates higher retail pricing that affects price-sensitive customers. Problems of adoption have risen in many countries due to limited access & low awareness of these biodegradable products. Additionally, they have a shorter lifespan as compared to conventional detergents which present logistics challenges during large-scale distribution.  The absence of a globally harmonized definition and certification for biodegradability leads to market confusion and greenwashing concerns by companies misleading consumers, further states the research report, “Global Biodegradable Detergents Market Analysis, 2025.”
