Future of Surfactants Summit
Building on the success of last edition of summit we are delighted to be back with 7th Future of Surfactants Summit which will once again bring together leading executives and experts from across the entire value chain for two days of informative presentations, interactive discussions on how to overcome current market challenges, review upcoming regulatory implementation and identify existing opportunities for growth as well as excellent networking opportunities.
Surfactant market is expected to grow in next few years, especially in anionic surfactants which are most widely used surfactants. Also, growth in consumption of bio-based surfactants as well as growth in consumption of surfactants in cosmetic & personal care segment is expected. All of this will have a significant influence on development of surfactant market.
Bigger consumption of biodegradable surfactants will lead to lower amount of synthetic surfactant which would have effect on lowering CO2 emissions and improving sustainability. Lowering CO2 emissions and improving sustainability are just some of the things that need to be achieved until 2050 according to UK Environmental Act and European Green Deal.
As it can be seen, future market of surfactants will look much different than it looks today. Surfactant industry is facing great challenges and because of that big amount of energy and time will be used in adaptation which will be key for the industry to continue to progress, as well as meeting the demands of the end users.
Active Communications International’s 7th Future of Surfactant Summit will take place in 16th on 17th May 2023 in London, United Kingdom. The two-day event will bring together the senior representatives of the different stakeholders involved in the surfactants sector from producers, technology developers, rubber producers, chemical suppliers, researchers, as well as other influential stakeholders from the value chain.

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• Active Communications International’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
