What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The SLS SLES And LAS Market?
The SLS, SLES, and LAS markets are projected to witness increased growth, driven by the rising demand for sanitation and hygiene within these industries. Personal hygiene involves keeping the body and clothing clean, a crucial aspect of maintaining overall health. As emulsifying cleaning agents used in household detergents and cleaners, SLS, SLES, and LAS are significant in this context. Consequently, the growing demand for hygiene and sanitation is anticipated to propel the growth of these markets. For instance, UNICEF, in July 2023, reported that around 1.4 million people, nearly 400,000 of whom are children under five, succumb annually to preventable diseases due to insufficient WASH. These diseases include diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, soil-transmitted helminths, and undernutrition. In 2022, it was revealed that out of 3.5 billion people who were deficient in safely managed services, roughly 1.9 billion could access basic services. Of the remaining 1.5 billion people, who lack even basic services, 419 million were found to be practicing open defecation. Consequently, the swelling demand in the manufacturing industry for better sanitation and hygiene practices is propelling the expansion of the SLS, SLES, and LAS markets.
