ENTERTAINMENT How Indian soap Brands are Booming in Indian Market Uneeb KhanOctober 3, 20220155 views Soaps have been used for centuries as a way to clean and maintain the human body. They also have many skins care benefits. Since soap is manufactured all over the world, India exports soap to other countries. Consumers from other countries have strong opinions about Indian soap brands. These opinions are based on years of using Indian soaps, and many have noticed a major change in their skin since switching to Indian soaps. This paper will examine the five largest soap brands in India and discuss the major factors that make them so popular. The Indian soap industry has become quite large in the last decade or so. Indians are now exporting soaps to other countries like China and Thailand. This is thanks to rapid growth in consumer spending power since 2008. In addition, major wholesalers buy small quantities of Indian soap to sell in their local areas. They also import soaps from other countries to resell in their country. However, importing soaps from other countries can get expensive due to high shipping costs and taxes. That’s why many wholesalers buy directly from manufacturers instead. All this growth has led to an exciting future for Indian soaps. There are over five major Indian soap brands that consumers recognize. These include Godrej Kachh Paroja, ITC Palmoplant, Indulekha, Nirmal Hetth, and Sri Krishna Pariah Soap Factory (SPSF). Each of these soap brands has its own unique selling points (USPs) that make them stand out from the rest. Godrej Kachh Paroja is known for its natural ingredients, including neem oil and honey powder. ITC a leading FMCG company in India, soap Palmoplant has a wide variety of colors and designs. SPFSF has a natural base for its soaps made from coconut, palm kernel, sandalwood and lotus seeds. Additionally, consumers love Nirmal Hetth’s natural ingredients like ghee, shea butter and virgin coconut oil in their soaps. All of these extra ingredients prove that quality as well as quantity matters when making soap. The market for Indian soap is booming- but some ideas about how it’s made haven’t caught on yet. Most people think their soap is manufactured all at once in factories. In truth, this only happens part of the way through the manufacturing process. First, raw materials are gathered locally to create the base ingredient stock. Then craftsmen mix these base ingredients into specific formulas using traditional methods passed down through generations by temple artisans. The resulting soap is then put through sun- drying processes to remove excess water before being packaged for sale. Soap can be used for personal hygiene, skin care and cleaning purposes- which is why it’s found in homes around the globe. People from other countries have noticed a major change in their skin since switching to Indian soaps due to high quality standards and reasonable prices compared to imported brands. Furthermore, manufactured goods export from India well because of high consumer spending power and various government schemes promoting export growth. It’s exciting to watch the Indian soap industry grow!
