China and India are the leading exporters of sodium laurate, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the top importing markets. Sodium laurate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from surfactant and personal care manufacturing sectors. Export volumes from China have expanded modestly since 2022, while Indian exports have shown consistent growth, reflecting increased production capacity and regional supply chain integration.
Sodium laurate is a white to off-white, crystalline solid or fine powder with a mild, soapy odor; it is non-volatile and has a melting point typically in the range of 200–220 °C (with decomposition). It is the sodium salt of lauric acid and is classified as an anionic surfactant and fatty acid soap. Primarily used as a surfactant and emulsifier, it serves as a key ingredient in personal care products (e.g., soaps, shampoos, toothpastes) and household detergents. It also functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty esters for coatings and polymer additives. Its applications are concentrated in cleaning formulations, cosmetics, and industrial process aids.
