Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Potassium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate market size was valued at US$ 704 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 997 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.1% during review period.
Potassium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate is an anionic surfactant produced by neutralizing dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) with potassium hydroxide (KOH). It is widely used for its excellent detergency, wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, and foaming properties in household cleaners, industrial detergents, agrochemical formulations, textile processing chemicals, and specialty industrial formulations. The supply chain begins upstream with petrochemical feedstocks such as benzene and linear alpha olefins (or n-paraffins), which are converted into linear alkylbenzene (LAB) through alkylation processes. LAB is then sulfonated using sulfur trioxide or oleum to produce dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, followed by neutralization with potassium hydroxide to form Potassium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate. Midstream activities include purification, concentration adjustment, blending, quality control, and packaging by surfactant manufacturers and specialty chemical companies. Downstream, the product is supplied to detergent manufacturers, agrochemical formulators, textile and leather chemical producers, industrial cleaning product companies, oilfield chemical suppliers, and various specialty chemical industries that require high-performance surfactants and dispersants. In 2025, global Potassium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate output was about 420,000 tons with 500,000 tons of capacity, average prices of USD 1,400–2,800 per ton, and gross margins around 24%.
