Soil Release Polymer In Laundry Market

The global Soil Release Polymer in Laundry Market Size is USD 640.6 million in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 805.9 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.9 % during the forecast period of 2024 to 2031.

Soil release polymer (SRP) is a chemical compound that is used in laundry fabric softeners and detergents to prevent soils and stains from sticking to fabrics. It works as a protective layer on the fabric surface allowing stains and dirt to be washed away easily during the laundry process and this polymer also improves the overall performance of the fabric softeners and detergents by increasing the effectiveness in removing tough stains.

These SRPs are critical additives in laundry detergents as they make fabrics soil-resistant and there are numerous polymers available in the market for cleaning products and detergents such as polycarboxylates, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and many others.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering with the market experiencing higher than anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The chemical industry is the backbone of development and industrialization as it contributes a decent percentage to the total GDP of a country and also plays a crucial role in employing job seekers.

Due to COVID-19 companies face issues such as supply chain disruption, low demand for products, and less productivity led to an impact on the growth of the chemical industry market. It also impacted the workforce as they are prone to viruses which is why companies had to follow government guidelines to prevent the pandemic.
