U.S. Emulsifiers in Personal Care Markets
Frost & Sullivan, June 2008, Pages: 88
This research service provides an overview of the personal care emulsifiers market ; presenting trends, forecasts , and challenges pertaining to this market. It segments the market based on the chemistry types and discusses the competitive trends, profiles of top participants etc.
Innovation is the Way Forward in the Mature Emulsifiers Market for Personal Care Products
With both the personal care and emulsifiers markets in the United States having reached maturity, the latter market will have to raise the bar on innovation to stay afloat. Its efforts, coupled with the promise shown by segments such as baby care, ethnic hair care, and antiageing, are expected to keep it in the reckoning, despite the market accounting for less than 10 percent of the total personal care ingredients market. It is becoming increasingly apparent that its small size belies its importance in the personal care market, especially with consumers demanding longer shelf life, better performance, and improved texture from their personal care products. Emulsifiers have emerged as the most cost-effective ingredients that can meet these requirements of innovation and enable personal care product manufacturers to cope with dynamic consumer lifestyles, fashions, and trends.
Since the emulsifiers market is directly dependant on the personal care market, it will be susceptible to changes in the latter market. The market for personal care ingredients, specifically surfactants, is going through a prolonged rough patch, wherein it has to deal with short supply of raw materials and an increase in the prices of petrochemical feedstock. While the rise in raw material costs has squeezed their margins, consolidation in customer and supplier bases, globalization, and environmental pressures have ensured that there is no respite from challenges. If the market has been able to stay buoyant despite such odds, it is because it has consistently found new avenues for growth. Companies with the ability to innovate have held their own in the highly concentrated market. "The strategic move for a company would be to not only improve on its existing product lines, but also emphasize product differentiation," says the analyst of this research. "Green products are a new avenue for manufacturers to stand out in the market."
Novel Products and Consolidations to Help Steer the Market Ahead
Manufacturers should also be willing to experiment with novel concepts to gain a competitive edge. Currently, many manufacturers are leaning toward single ingredients with multi-functional attributes. These multifunctional ingredients combine the properties of emulsifiers, emollients, stabilizers, rheology modifiers, and emulsion stabilizers. "These multi-functional products have advantages as well as disadvantages, which have to be carefully tackled by the formulators to provide better products in the personal care market," notes the analyst. "They must also ensure that these products are competitively priced."
Apart from novel products and functions, emulsifier companies can also enhance their growth opportunities through a strong focus on emerging markets and mergers and acquisitions. However, it is not the big acquisitions that are likely to boost a company’s prospects but the smaller businesses that serve niche segments or specialize in specific technologies such as microencapsulation delivery systems. These assets will help participants expand their customer base and tap the potential of underserved markets.
