The high production cost, low yield, and sophisticated product recovery restricts widespread application of biosurfactants as compared to chemical surfactants. The inefficient bioprocess engineering, usage of a cost–credit substrate, and poor strain improvement are some of the major drawbacks behind high production costs of biosurfactants. For commercial applications of biosurfactants in various fields, these stated drawbacks should be solved. Therefore, the net economic gain between the production cost and application benefit will govern the future of biosurfactants. For large‐scale industrial production and applications, the links between the production parameters of these molecules, their structure and their functions, need to be optimized. The following proposed strategy can smooth cost‐effective biosurfactant production and application.
