Vegetable Based Soap Market: Introduction
- Vegetable based soaps refer to vegan soaps made from fats or oils of vegetable sources rather than from saponified tallow or other animal fats. These soaps are mostly preferred by vegans or vegetarian consumers.
- In recent years, consumers are switching to natural products which is likely to gain demand for vegetable based soaps. In addition, key players in the industry are introducing vegetable based soaps enriched with natural scents in attractive design and packaging styles that is likely to attract consumers across the globe.
Increasing Adoption of Specialized Soaps: A Key Driver
- Increasing awareness among consumers about the usage of vegan products, a strong consumer base that prefers natural products, increasing start-ups of vegan-based products, surge in disposable income of consumers, celebrities endorsing vegetable based soaps over conventional and other soaps, along with rising penetration of products through several online and retailing channels apart from rapid urbanization in emerging economies and adoption of expensive premium soaps across the globe are expected to propel the vegetable based soap market during the forecast period. In addition, key skin experts across the globe are recommending that consumers use vegetable based soaps.
Strong Presence of Alternatives: Restraint of the Market
- A vegetable based soap is not pocket-friendly for consumers. High cost of these soaps is expected to act as a deterrent for customers, especially for those living in developing countries. This may act as a barrier to the growth of the vegetable based soap market. Moreover, presence of several alternatives such as commercial beauty soaps, natural bath liquids, bath powder, and vegan bath bombs, may restrain the growth of the vegetable based soap market in the next few years.
