What you need to know

China’s soap, bath and shower products market has maintained slow but steady growth in recent years, which is likely to become the norm in the future with this category increasingly mature and commoditised. The growth is mainly driven by shower gel and liquid hand wash. Shower gel is benefiting from new product launches that include natural ingredients and added benefits, and liquid hand wash holds potential to grow in penetration and usage, especially in lower tier cities.
