ALBANY, New York, August 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The global soap noodles market is immensely fragmented and characterized by the presence of a number of players. Transparency Market Research finds that in 2015, the top 10 companies competing in the soap noodles market accounted for a share of just over 46%, indicating the lack of a clear leader. These companies are Permata Hijau Group, KLK OLEO, 3F INDUSTRIES LTD., Deeno Group, Adimulia Sarimas Indonesia, IOI Oleochemicals, Wilmar International Ltd., John Drury, Musim Mas Holdings, and VVF Limited.

"Larger companies in developing regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East enjoy the majority in the soap noodles market and smaller players pose a minimal threat," the author of the TMR study observes.

One of the prominent strategies adopted by several players in the soap noodles market is geographical expansion. Acquisitions and collaborations in recent years have also strengthened the positioning of a number of players. Singapore-based Musim Mas Holdings, a leading competitor in the soap noodles market, entered into a collaboration with Genting Plantations Group in March 2015 to set up a palm oil refinery in Malaysia. This move helped the company expand its capacity in the region.

Sales Promotions an Excellent Strategy to Spur Demand for Soaps and Soap Noodles

The demand for soap noodles is indirectly impacted by the aggressive sales promotions and marketing activities by companies. "Sales promotions result in purchase acceleration since consumers tend to buy larger quantities of a product when offered promotional sales and discounts," states a TMR analyst. The growing sales of soap have therefore led to the rising demand for soap noodles. Unilever and P&G are excellent examples of companies that have successfully managed to boost sales with marketing strategies and promotional activities.

TMR identifies a major opportunity in the growing developing of soap bars with functional features and offerings, such as herbal soaps, moisturizing soaps, aromatherapy soaps, and anti-bacterial soaps. "The demand for such functional soap bars is relatively high in developed countries where the awareness regarding natural products in the personal care market is greater," the author finds.

Soap Bar Substitutes Threaten Growth of Soap Noodles Market

The threat from substitutes of soap bars has been growing over the years, acting as a major deterrent to the growth of the soap noodles market. "Companies manufacturing body washes, liquid hand washes, and shower gels have sprung in almost every part of the world and changing lifestyles and rising disposable income of the consumers have resulted in the increasing demand for these substitutes," the analyst states. This is likely to result in a decline in demand for soap noodles.

The only saving grace, TMR observes, is that the substitutes of soap bars are highly priced and this could curb the demand for the same.

Easy Availability of Raw Materials in Asia Pacific Attracting Soap Noodle Manufacturers

The global soap noodles market comprises five main regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

Asia Pacific emerged as the leading contributor in the global soap noodles market in 2015, followed by Europe and North America. Increasing awareness about hygiene among the population and an improvement in the standard of living in the developing economies of Asia Pacific such as China, India, and Japan are projected to boost the demand for soap bars. This, in turn, is estimated to propel the demand for soap noodles in APAC in the near future. Asia Pacific is also projected to be the fastest growing market over the course of the forecast period with end-user industries such as healthcare and personal care on the path of rapid expansion. China is one of the major consumers and suppliers of soap noodles. The majority of soap noodle manufacturers are based in Malaysia and Indonesia due to the easy availability of raw materials in these countries.
