Soap Market in India - Threats and Key Players
Demonetization in November 2016 had a negative impact on the soap market. Due to lack of currency notes being circulated, many soap manufacturers in India had to reduce their production by nearly 20%. However, the implementation of GST is expected to bring some relief through lowered duty.
Presence of chemicals and other toxic elements in soaps can damage skin texture or trigger allergies, in some people, which can hamper the growth of the market.
Some of the best-selling soap brands include Santoor, Lux, Godrej no.1, Cinthol, and Lifebuoy. Despite the challenges in the industry, the market is expected to exhibit strong growth and more companies are expected to foray into the soap segment.
