Emulsifiers are substances that help in creating a smooth mixture of two or more ingredients, which otherwise do not combine easily, and keep them from separating.Emulsifiers are molecules with one oil-friendly and one water-friendly end. The waterfriendly end in a food emulsifier is known as the hydrophilic tail and the oil-friendly end is known as the hydrophobic head. Emulsifiers find extensive use in the agriculture,building and construction, elastomers, plastics, food and beverages, industrial cleaning, leather, metals, paper,textiles, paints, protective coatings, and other industries. Few examples of commonly used emulsions in various application areas

include pharmaceutical emulsions, rubber emulsions, textile emulsions, pesticide emulsions, food emulsions, emulsions in the paint industry, emulsions in the polish industry, and leather and paper treatment emulsions. Cosmetics like moisturizers and sun care creams contain emulsifiers. Light and less greasy creams incorporate oil-inwater (o/w) emulsions, whereas heavy creams for the treatment of rough skin use water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, in which oil is the primary ingredient. Personal care items such as liquid soaps,toothpaste, and many body care products also contain emulsifiers.In this market research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global emulsifier market for 2017-2021.
