The global ethoxylated sorbitan esters market is likely to reach USD 933.20 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period (2021-2027) according to QuantAlign Research. Rising applications of ethoxylated sorbitan esters/polysorbates across a wide variety of applications such as beauty & personal care, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and agriculture, among others, is projected to augment the market demand. However, associated health concerns regarding the use of polysorbates may hinder the market growth over the coming years.

Polysorbates are defined as the ethoxylated sorbitan esters which are manufactured by the reaction of sorbitol with various fatty acids. These oleochemical based surfactants act as humectants, solubilizers, and emulsifiers, thus have applications across a host of industries. Polysorbate-80 has been identified as the most suitable surfactant to deliver drug via nano particles more efficiently. Also, used in many formulations, ethoxylated sorbitan esters are added as solubilizer in injections as well.

Ethoxylated sorbitan esters are also used as a surfactant in the formulation of biotherapeutic products for preventing surface adsorption and as stabilizers against protein aggregation. Moreover, extensive usage as a wetting agent and dispersant for materials such as zinc oxide, and penicillin in lipophilic pharmaceutical bases, ethoxylated sorbitan ester has gained wide acceptance across the pharmaceutical industry.
