Similarly, fatty alcohols are key ingredients in producing surfactants, essential components in detergents, cleaning agents, and emulsifiers. Surfactants derived from fatty alcohols exhibit excellent surface-active properties, enabling them to reduce surface tension, disperse oils and dirt, and improve wetting and foaming characteristics.

The emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices in Mexico is impacting the sourcing of raw materials for fatty alcohol production. As producers seek eco-friendly options, the market is likely to see an increase in fatty alcohols derived from sustainably sourced fats and oils. The Mexican government's push for food safety and quality regulations encourages food manufacturers to adopt clean-label practices. This support drives the use of fatty alcohols, which can be marketed as natural ingredients, aligning with consumer demand for transparency.
