1Soap, Bath and Shower Products - US
2Summary
- The U.S. market for soap, bath, and shower
products was significantly impacted by the slow
economic recovery, which caused declines in 2010
and allowed for only modest growth in 2011 as
users traded down to less expensive products or
made their existing products last longer. Still,
growth is moderately driven by demand for
products that provide extra moisturization, as
well as fragranced products and antibacterial
offerings. Growing demand among men for
male-specific personal care brands, which the
market continues to meet, has also helped drive
sales. Additionally, as Hispanics are significant
users of soap and shower products, growth in
Hispanic population and spending power should
also help drive sales in the coming years. This
