Bar Soap Market Overview:

Solid soap manufacturing is one of the oldest industries functioning in the FMCG realm. Solid soaps are often chosen over alternatives because their quality lasts longer, they are skin-friendly, and they can moisturize hands better. It is considered one of the most important household products worldwide due to its versatile use, helping to strengthen the demand for solid soap. In addition, consumption of the product is increasing because it contains less chemicals and is less damaging to the skin than other cleansing alternatives. In addition, higher utilization of products for customer use in hotels also acts as a thriving factor for increased demand. For example, in May 2019, hotel occupancy in different regions of the world is estimated at 68.1% in the Americas, 74.9% in Europe, 68.5% in Asia Pacific, and 51.7% in the Middle East.

Innovations in karat gold bar soaps specifically targeting millionaires and billionaires around the world also represent a huge opportunity for market growth. V Care's 24 Carat Gold Soap, for example, is made of microscopic colloidal gold that melts into the skin to give it a firm, radiant glow.

Growing awareness of maintaining good hygiene that helps prevent the spread of disease across the globe is acting as one of the major factors behind the growth of the market. Increased use of solid soap, especially by those who work in mining, factories, construction and other hazardous areas, helps drive consumption of the product. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released in 2018, an estimated 7.2 million people are in the US construction workforce. In addition, the demand for solid soap is increasing as the generated dust and dirt particles are absorbed into the skin, increasing soil, air and water pollution. In addition, the consumption of solid soap is increasing due to the spread of Corona 19, which is acting as a factor driving the market growth.

However, alternative products that can replace solid soap, such as liquid soap and wet wipes, are acting as an obstacle to market growth. For example, liquid soaps with higher concentrations of chemicals are considered more powerful at removing germs and other impurities from the body.
