Sodium fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate (MES), also known as fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate, is a third-generation surfactant. It has the advantages of being completely biodegradable, safe and non-toxic, low in production cost, and strong in hard water resistance. It is an alkyl group. Alternative product to sodium sulfonate (LAS). MES contains ester chains in its molecular structure and has excellent hydrolysis performance. It has broad application prospects in agriculture, daily chemicals, food processing, printing and dyeing textiles, medicine and other fields.

The main raw materials of MES are natural vegetable oils, including palm oil, coconut oil, corn oil, etc. Palm oil is widely used in the MES production process. The main producing areas of global palm oil are concentrated in Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia. my country is the world’s third largest importer of palm oil. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, my country’s palm oil imports reached 620,000 tons from January to February 2023, with an import value of US$610 million. Insufficient supply of raw materials has brought certain challenges to the development of my country’s MES industry.

MES has excellent performance and is widely used in many fields. In the agricultural field, MES has good chemical stability and can be used to produce pesticide preparations; in the daily chemical industry, MES, as a green and environmentally friendly surfactant, can be used to produce washing powder, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and other products; in food In the field of processing, MES has the functions of inhibiting oxidation, thickening, and emulsifying, and can be used to produce juice, milk, beverages, etc.; in the field of printing, dyeing and textiles, MES is completely biodegradable and can be used to produce nylon, aramid and other products.

According to the “2023-2028 China Sodium Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report” shows that, benefiting from the increasingly strong market demand, the development space of the MES industry continues to expand. The global MES market size will reach 21.67 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of application scope, the MES market size will further expand and will exceed 32 billion yuan by 2028.

The major global MES manufacturers include Huish, Chemithon, Stepan, LION of Japan, KLK of Malaysia, etc. Zanyu Technology, Kmic Biotech, Qining Chemical, Shiteng Chemical, etc. are the main participants in my country’s MES market. Zanyu Technology focuses on the R&D, production and sales of surfactants such as fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene sodium sulfate (AES), fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate (MES), alpha-alkenyl sodium sulfonate (AOS) and other surfactants. MES production capacity It is in the leading position in our country.

Industry analysts said that as a third-generation surfactant, MES has the advantages of green environmental protection and low production cost. With the market Demand is growing and its industry development space is expanding. There are many MES manufacturers in my country, but the market is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. In the future, with technological advancement, the concentration of my country’s MES industry will increase, and leading companies will occupy more market shares.
