Production of organic bath and shower items also often involves sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, appealing to eco-conscious consumers. For example, data from the Organic Trade Association, based in the U.S, shows that in 2022, U.S. organic sales were recorded at 67,576 units, a 4.0% rise from 64,963 units in 2021. This itself was a 2.3% growth on the previous year. Hence, the escalating demand for organic products is propelling the expansion of the bath and shower products market.
