The Global Antibacterial Soap Market size is expected to reach $6.1 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 6.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
Antibacterial soap comprises chemical components which are supposed to aid in the destruction of bacteria. Triclosan is found in the majority of antibacterial soaps, however other chemical additions are also popular ingredients. The most frequent antibacterial ingredients in soap are triclosan and triclocarban. In addition, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, and chloroxylenol are all typical antibacterial chemicals in soaps.
The demand for antibacterial soap is rising due to a number of factors, including increased awareness of the significance of personal hygiene and the health advantages connected with it. Contaminated hands are to blame for the majority of foodborne illnesses. Germs on hands enter the body through the mouth while eating, producing illnesses such as diarrhoea and lowering the immune system's resistance. Hand washing with soap and water can reduce diarrhoea-related fatalities by half. Furthermore, studies reveal that hand washing can avert one million fatalities per year. Additionally, by destroying germs on the body and hands, antibacterial soap can prevent respiratory disorders such as colds and flu. As per the World Bank, daily hand washing with water and soap can significantly cut healthcare costs. Due to this, the antibacterial soap market is likely to develop throughout the forecast period due to increased awareness about hygiene and cleanliness.
The antibacterial soap market is predicted to develop in the future due to manufacturers' increased focus on forming strategic alliances with leading retail chains to expand their reach and offer a wider range of customers. Reckitt-Benckiser, for example, announced a relationship with Jumia, one of Africa's major e-commerce platforms, in March 2020. This collaboration aims to provide low-cost hygiene products to Africa's people.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a beneficial impact on market growth. Antibacterial soap demand is increased as a result of panic buying and stockpiling. The government launched public awareness campaigns encouraging people to wash their hands frequently in order to eliminate the virus and restrict its spread. As the fear of becoming ill motivates homes to utilize cleaning products, Covid-19 has pushed some of the country's major packaged goods producers to bring out new hygiene and germ-protection soaps in a highly competitive area. After the outbreak of the coronavirus illness pandemic, hand washing with soap and disinfectants is inescapable as the main method of preventing infection transmission in communities & healthcare facilities.
Maintaining cleanliness is critical for reducing the onset and spread of diseases brought on by unsanitary behaviours. People can limit the spread of germs by washing infectious microorganisms off hands, utensils, and clothing. According to the World Health Organization's article "Forgetting to Wash Your Hands Can Cost Lives," published in May 2017, over 400,000 babies and 30,000 moms die each year due to diseases caused by poor sanitation and hand washing practices.
To entice customers, key players are working on developing unique solutions like fragrance-free deodorants, and clear soap scrubs. Furthermore, players are making attempts to incorporate organic and vegan components, as well as working on creating eco-friendly packaging solutions, in order to move toward sustainable products. For example, Dove, a Unilever brand, declared in October 2019 that by the end of 2020, all of its beauty bar products will be plastic-free. Moreover, businesses are taking steps to reduce their use of plastic by increasing the usage of recycled plastic and substituting plastic packaging with more environmentally friendly materials like paper and metal.
Today, triclosan can be found in a variety of places. To avoid bacterial contamination, it has been added to a variety of consumer products, including apparel, kitchenware, furniture, and toys. As a result, people's long-term exposure to triclosan is more than previously assumed, raising worries about the possible hazards of using this substance for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, laboratory investigations have raised the potential that triclosan contributes to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Antibiotic resistance may have a major impact on the effectiveness of medical therapies.
