Handmade Soap Market Analysis

Handmade Soap Market Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, CP (cold process) held the major market share over the forecast period. Cold Process, or CP, is a handmade soap-making technique. It's essentially the opposite of the hot process. Instead of utilising heat or steam to create a gel-like structure in your soap, CP uses ice-cold water to freeze the liquid fat into a solid form before stirring it all together. The finished product is usually more stable and less likely to splinter than that generated by the HP process (Hot Process).

 HP (hot process) are the fastest-growing category over the forecast period. The hot process is a method of manufacturing soap in which the oils are melted in an open vessel over low heat.
