Two factors are identified as the drivers behind this growth: rising disposable incomes and influencer marketing. As consumers are aware of the latest trends in both personal and home care, they are able to afford similar lifestyles to those depicted on social media channels. As a result, Transparency Market Research predicts the preservative blends market will increase with a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.60% from 2016 to 2025. According to the firm, this is because many products and formulations promoted to consumers contain a large array of preservative blends.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the Preservative Market
Similar to 2015, the Asia-Pacific region continues to hold more than 35% of the market share and this is predicted to increase in the coming years. The increase in population in this region, coupled with an increase in disposable income, will mark the growth of the market.
Currently, Asia-Pacific accounts for 60% of the world's population, which is approximately 4 billion people. This will propel the preservative blends market forward, owing to the creation of an untapped reservoir of opportunities.
