Rapidly growing need for toilet soap is projected to drive the growth of the soap noodles market during the forecast period. Soap noodles are extensively used to produce toilet preparations globally. The rising demand for cosmetic and personal care soaps from developing countries is projected to positively affect the soap noodles market over the forecast timeframe.

The drifting consumer preference towards liquid gels and soaps mainly in North America and Europe will be a major market restraining factor over the next few years. Leading soap producers are reducing research and development activities in the bar soap portfolio while concentrating into the lucrative liquid soap segments. This shift in product preference by the manufacturers is anticipated to restrain the global soap noodles market growth in future.
