Drivers & Restraints-
Increasing Popularity of Fragranced Bath Products to Aid in Expansion
The rising awareness about personal hygiene and cleanliness and the increasing demand for soap and soap products stands as a major factor promoting the bath and shower products market growth. In addition to this, the rising cases of coronavirus have accelerated the demand for these products in the market. This, coupled with the rising popularity of scented shower products such as gels, creams, scrubs, and others are also aiding in the expansion of the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of bath and body care products by the healthcare sector for taking care of bedridden patients who are deprived of taking care of personal hygiene themselves will also bolster growth.
On the contrary, the presence of toxic ingredients in some bath and shower products may result in allergic reactions or skin rashes, thereby posing a major restraint to the market in the coming years. In addition to this, the high cost of some products such as body washes, bath salts, and additives are likely to hamper the overall market growth.
Nevertheless, the introduction and increasing preference for organic and vegan bath and shower products will create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.
