Global
Toilet Soap
Market is segmented on the basis
of type and geography. Toilet soap is the soap used as a toiletry (an object or
cosmetic used in making up, dressing etc.). Higher the fatty material in soap;
better the cleansing ability. Toilet soaps contain more fatty material than
bathing bar (i.e. 60-80% while bathing bars contain 40-60%), so they soften the
skin and also cleanse better than bathing bars. However, bathing bars often add
other stuff to make up for the moisturizing part like glycerine (pears),
moisturising milk (dove), etc. Most of the soaps present in the market such as
Liril, Lux, Lifebuoy, Dettol, Margo, and Cinthol are toilet soaps.

Toilet
soap, once only an urban phenomenon has now penetrated practically all areas
including remote rural areas. The incremental demand flows from population
increase and rise in usage norm impacted as it is by a greater concern for
hygiene. There are a few specialty soaps as transparent Glycerine soaps, sandal
soaps, specially flavored soaps, medicated soaps and baby soaps. Specialty
soaps are high valued but enjoy only a small share of the market in value
terms. Interestingly, majority of the market is now sourced from the rural
sector. This means that the variance between the two segments is not very
large. Since upper-end market focus is the urban areas, margins come from the
urban sector.
Price
is the most important factor which effects the buying behaviour of consumer, by
which a consumer goes for the various segment of soap like premium, popular,
sub-popular and carbolic which are basically decided by the cost factor and fat
content in the soap. The buying frequency is either monthly that is done by the
families or in case of bachelors it is more than once in a month.
