Global Organic Soap Market- Overview

Organic soaps are products that are made up of natural ingredients, such as glycerin, plant-derived base oils, and essential oils. In addition to being cruelty-free and animal-friendly, many organic soaps are made with essential oils derived from plants, flowers, fruits, and spices. These soaps are not only beneficial for skin but also environmentally safe as no pesticides or chemicals are used in their production. Although organic soaps are a bit more costly, their long-term benefits outweigh the price.

Global Organic Soap Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Skin-Related Issues

The increasing prevalence of skin-related issues among all demographics is boosting the demand for organic soaps worldwide. The causes of skin-related issues vary in every person. It can be caused by the influence of pathogens, such as bacteria trapped in skin pores and hair follicles, or fungus, parasites, or other microorganisms living on the skin. Sin diseases are also caused by weakened immune system, allergies, genetic factors, etc. Different skin issues call for different types of ingredients. Therefore, people are rapidly shifting toward organic soap from chemical ones as chemical soaps can be harsh on the skin and can increase the problem.

Availability And Launch of Wide Range of Products

In the global organic soap market, a variety of products are available that feature various ingredients, fragrances, quantities, and prices, for a variety of skin-related issues to meet the needs of their wide-ranging audience. This acts as one of the major driving factors for the organic soap market. The soap manufacturing companies are also constantly launching new products to keep up with changing consumption patterns. They are also expanding their consumer base by targeting new demographics, such as launching products exclusively for men. For instance, Dr. Squatch, a personal care company, recently announced the launch of Spartan Scrub, their limited-edition soap made in collaboration with 343 industries.

Restraints

High Price Competitiveness with Chemical Soaps

Compared to chemical soaps, organic soap is more expensive, thus, they fail to meet the budgetary requirements of the general public. Although people are becoming more aware of the drawbacks of chemical soaps and their detrimental effect on the environment, the high prices of organic soap are preventing them from shifting to these products, thus limiting their market growth. Furthermore, the limited availability of organic soaps is a huge stumbling block. In comparison to chemical soaps, most organic soap brands are only available through internet channels, limiting their accessibility.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Organic Soap Market

With the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global organic soap market was also initially halted due to the lockdown. The accumulation of raw materials for the production of organic soaps became difficult as governments of various countries imposed strict restrictions on import and export activities. However, the emergence of online sales channels provided lucrative growth opportunities to the market growth in the post-COVID-19 period. Furthermore, the surge in environmental consciousness and sustainability after the pandemic proved to be favorable to the organic soap market.

Global Organic Soap Market - By Sales Channel

Based on sales channels, the global organic soap market is segmented into retail stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, specialty stores, online channels, and others. The retail store and supermarkets/hypermarkets hold substantial shares in the market. Supermarkets have better visibility of products backed with the availability of all types of sizes and packages. However, the small and emerging organic brands are resorting to online channels for their sales as it offers better brand awareness among consumers as well as wider reach beyond geographical boundaries.

Global Organic Soap Market - By Packaging

Based on packaging, the global organic soap market is segmented into rigid packaging and flexible packaging. Rigid packaging accounts for the largest market share. This refers to a range of materials used for packaging organic soaps, such as glass, hard plastics, cardboard, metal, etc. Most organic soap brands usually use paper, or glass, or metal containers to make their products as environmentally friendly as possible. However, brands that offer liquid organic soap opt for flexible packaging as it can easily be bent or bundled together.

Global Organic Soap Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global organic soap market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle-East & Africa. Among these, North America dominates the organic soap market owing to the high awareness regarding the benefits of organic soap over the use of chemicals on the skin. Furthermore, high disposable income and beauty consciousness among the consumers in this region also plays a crucial factor in driving the market growth. Following North America, Europe also covers a substantial share in the market because of the easy availability of organic soaps in retail and convenience stores.
