We construct interfacial solitary structures (spots) generated by a bistable chemical reaction or a non-equilibrium phase transition in a surfactant film. The structures are stabilized by Marangoni flow that prevents the spread of a state with a higher surface tension when it is dynamically favorable. In a system without surfactant mass conservation, a unique radius of a solitary spot exists within a certain range of values of the Marangoni number and of the deviation of chemical potential from the Maxvell construction, but multiple spots attract and coalesce. In a conservative system, there is a range of stable spot sizes, but solitary spots may exist only in a limited parametric range, beyond which multiple spots nucleate. Repeated coalescence and nucleation leads to chaotic dynamics of spots observed computationally in Ref. .
