US Soap, Bath, and Shower Products Market Size
Soap, bath, and shower product retail sales are estimated to have increased by 9% in 2023 from 2022.

Soap, Bath, and Shower Products Consumer Insights
- Shower methods and motivations vary. Benefit claims of cold showers and plunges such as improved immunity and sleep encourage this activity. Not just cold, but lukewarm versus hot showers resonate with the perception of avoiding negative skin health effects. Consumers are also taking shorter showers to conserve water.
- Men of all generations prefer “for men” products. Despite this, men’s options are limited compared to women’s. With men’s evolving interest in self-care, health, and appearance, there’s room for brands to grow appeal in the masculine grooming space.
- Gentle cleansing is increasingly non-negotiable. Consumers believe that over-cleansing can strip the skin of good bacteria. Since last year’s version of this report, Mintel observes that this has led to gentle formulations becoming a baseline expectation across soap, bath, and shower segments.
