Increasing Consumption of Personal Care Products to Push Global Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Market Growth

The sodium lauryl sulfate market has been witnessing healthy growth, owing to the increasing consumption of personal care products and flexibility in feedstock availability in developed economies.

Increasing purchasing power of the middle class and growing urbanization have boosted the use of cosmetics across various end-use applications, thereby driving the sodium lauryl sulfate market at regional levels. Increasing production of beauty products is expected to propel the demand for sodium lauryl sulfate during the forecast period, i.e. 2019-2029.

Growth in Per Capita Spending on Cosmetics

Rising awareness regarding home cleanliness and the increasing need for disinfection are expected to lift the demand for home care and surface disinfectants in the future. The rapidly growing geriatric population has resulted in the rise of chronic diseases and health issues. This is anticipated to generate demand for pharmaceutical grade sodium lauryl sulfate.

Increasing disposable income together with interventions to improve children health have positively surged the demand for homecare chemicals. Furthermore, in developing as well as developed economies, there has been huge growth in per capita cosmetic spending, which is anticipated to further fuel the demand for cosmetic ingredients, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for sodium lauryl sulfate during the forecast period

Growing Demand for Industrial Cleaning Chemicals to Propel the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Market

Stringent government regulations regarding the manufacturing of products, and maintenance of hygiene & safety in food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, have resulted in more attention being given to manufacturing processes as well as workplace safety. Even minor contamination during product manufacturing can lead to serious health issues.

In these industries, more emphasis is placed on proper hygiene and providing an antibacterial environment for R&D activities. Thus, the usage of sodium lauryl sulfate is rising.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all the required manufacturing standards related to hygiene and safety have been specified to food and beverage product manufacturers.

Thus, due to these aforementioned facts, it is expected that, the demand for surface disinfectant chemicals will increase, which, in turn, will result in the increasing demand for sodium lauryl sulfate as an ingredient, during the forecast period.
