Market Overview:
The global sponge applicator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for sponge applicators from various end-use industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, industrial, personal care and others. In addition, rising awareness about hygiene and sanitation is also propelling the growth of this market. However, volatility in prices of raw materials used in manufacturing sponge applicators may restrain the growth of this market to some extent during the forecast period. On basis of type, latex sponge accounted for a major share of the global sponge applicator market in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to their high absorbency capacity which makes them ideal for applications such as cosmetics and personal care products where absorption of liquids or oils is required. Non-latex sponges are also witnessing high demand due their properties such as biodegradability and environmental friendliness which make them preferable over latex sponges among consumers concerned about environmental issues.
Product Definition:
A sponge applicator is a household item that is used to apply a liquid or semi-solid substance. It is often made of foam, but can also be made of other materials such as cloth. Sponge applicators are important because they allow for even application and help avoid streaks or missed areas.
Latex Sponge:
Latex sponges are made from the milk of rubber latex tree and have high tensile strength, elasticity and durability. The raw material for making these sponges is either processed or extracted form natural sources. These products are used in various end-use industries such as household cleaning, medical & healthcare, automotive OEM (Original Equipment), industrial processing equipment manufacturing among others.
Non-latex Sponge:
Non-latex sponges are made from polymers and have no natural rubber or synthetic rubber in them. They are usually used as a replacement for latex in sponge applicators due to their non-latex like properties such as oil resistance, durability, abrasion resistance and flexibility. Non-latex sponges can be used with any type of paints or coatings including water based, solvent based or high solids content materials.
Application Insights:
The cosmetics application segment led the market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The product is widely used for various applications, such as face, hand and body washes, hair care products, shaving creams and gels. In addition, it finds application in sunscreens as they are water-resistant.
The pharmaceuticals segment is expected to register a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for sponges that are sterilized by ethylene oxide gas before being used for injections or surgeries. Moreover, increasing awareness regarding health & hygiene among consumers will boost the product demand over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Europe dominated the global market in 2017 owing to growing demand for cosmetic products and increasing use of sponges in pharmaceutical industry. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 due to rapid industrialization, rising population, and improving living standards. Moreover, expansion of retail outlets due to economic growth will fuel product demand further.
The cosmetics application segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing its rising usage in personal care products such as skin cream, hair oil/treatment formula, eye drops/serum/moisturizer mix etcetera.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for hygiene and personal care products
- Rising disposable income of consumers
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using sponge applicators
- Proliferation of online retail channels
- Innovative product launches
