Bar soaps are favored in the Middle East and Africa due to their cost-effectiveness and wide availability. They serve as a practical choice for personal hygiene needs, with a more affordable price point compared to liquid soaps. Regional companies have been coming to the forefront by capitalizing on local market insights, meeting cultural preferences, and offering competitive pricing, allowing them to gain prominence and compete with global brands effectively.
Arma Soap and Detergents, for instance, an Egyptian FMCG company, displayed its products during the fourth iteration of EGY BEAUTY EXPO 2023 as part of its plan to increase exports and seek new markets. The corporation aims to grow its export share from 10% to 25% by 2025 to stimulate the Egyptian economy and draw in foreign currency.
Companies offering natural ingredient-based soaps are emerging in the African bar soap market due to the growing consumer demand for sustainable, eco-friendly, and locally-sourced products, reflecting a shift toward more conscious choices in personal care.
