Project Profile On Toilet Soap, Laundary Soap, Chip Powder

Abstract

Just like detergents powders, there are a large number of people who use both 1 oilet soap and Laundry Soap around the world. The machinery for producing' Ithese soaps is same. Only different dyes for both needs to be procured. One statistics provided by A T Kearney and Co on worldwide outlook for toilet soap Isuggeststhat around 12% of the total population of the world consumes Toilet Isoap. This could vary in different countries. In Laos, just like in the case of; Idetergents, most of the toilet soap is imported by multinationals for distribution; ;from neighboring countries. However, unlike in the case of detergents, there are; 'a few suppliers of toilets soaps in the unbranded segment catering to various i 'hotels and institutional buyer. There are no good quality manufacturers of soaps land no good local brand. The international brands are expensive and are not 'patronized by poor and middle class. The people using toilet soaps, as a % is less than the world average. Hence there exists a very high demand for local production of toilet soaps in Laos. Similarly, people of Laos do not have accessto Igoodquality affordable laundrysoaps. Laundry soaps are not available in Laos at :all. Hence, to reach out to the poor who cannot use detergents, this could be a good product. The marketing and production of both toilet soaps and laundry soap requires similar efforts. During production of soaps, there are by-products and scrap, which can be converted into chips and powder.
