Selenium Sulfide Market - Global Industry Analysis, Trends By 2016 - 2024

The global selenium sulfide market is oligopolistic in nature and the top four players represented about 60% of its value in 2015. These companies, namely Alfa Aesar, Fagron, Abcr GmbH, and Wockhardt are paying high attention to the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific to tap the immense growth potential, observes Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. Players are increasingly adopting partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions as part of their key growth strategies. “The highly consolidated nature of the market makes it difficult for small and medium companies to expand their existing shares,” says TMR’s lead analyst.

Asia Pacific will continue to be the leading regional segment until 2024, commanding 58.6% of the overall market revenue. Changing lifestyles, rapidly growing population, and rising disposable income of the populace in emerging countries such as India and China are fuelling the growth of the region. The flourishing growth of the hair care industry is also propelling the demand for selenium sulfide in the region.

Burgeoning Demand for Personal Care Products to Fuel Growth Prospects

The burgeoning demand for specialized hair care products in developing nations is providing a fillip to the global selenium sulfide market. For instance, in Brazil, nearly 30-35% of consumers opt for hydrating and anti-dandruff shampoos. Similar trends are witnessed in other emerging countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, China, India, and Argentina. Moreover, the rising disposable income is translating into the greater uptake of personal care and grooming products. Since selenium sulfide forms an important raw material required for the manufacture of these products, their increasing demand is augmenting the market.

Stringent Government Regulations to Inhibit Market Growth

The National Toxicology Program conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services has proved the carcinogenic effect of selenium sulfide on humans. Therefore, there is a growing emphasis on the use of natural or less hazardous chemical products for the manufacturing of hair care products. In addition, consumers are increasingly demanding for herbal products. This is limiting the market from realizing its utmost potential.

“Owing to the harmful effects of selenium sulfide, several governments worldwide are imposing stringent regulations on their use,” says a TMR analyst. To put this in perspective, in Canada, the permissible concentration declared by the Health Canada is not more than 2.5% in anti-dandruff shampoos and skin care lotions. Hence, such regulations are hampering the growth of the market.
