Global Wipes Market 2014-2018 Report: Market Size, CAGR, Forecasts
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 6:38AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vcdlgp/global_wipes) has announced the addition of the "Global Wipes Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Wipes market to grow at a CAGR of 5.66 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing hygiene consciousness among consumers. The Global Wipes market has also been witnessing the increase in private-label brands. However, the high costs of wipes could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Johnson & Johnson Inc., Kao Corp., Kimberly-Clark Corp., and Procter & Gamble Co. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Ahlstrom Corp., Beiersdorf AG, Converting Wet Wipes srl, Henkel AG & Co., KGaA, Lenzing AG, Nice-Pak Products Inc., Polymer Group Inc., Reckitt Benckiser plc, Rockline Industries Inc., S.C. Johnson & Son, SCA Group, Suominen Corp., The Clorox Co., and Unilever Group. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: A major trend being witnessed in the global market is the emergence of a number of private-label brands. Private-label products refer to products manufactured and marketed by retailers. The private-label wipes manufacturers' operational efficiency enables them to develop products at lower costs. Thus, products under private-label brand names are becoming more prominent and gaining more popularity as they are priced lower than branded wipes. Consumers also consider private-label branded products to be better, offer higher value, and to be priced better than branded wipes. The increasing introduction of private-label brands has led to a growth in the sales and consumption of wipes. However, an increase in the number of private-label brands often leads to price wars and a decline in the profit margins of major branded wipes vendors. Hence, the availability and increased adoption of private-label brands is expected to both positively and negatively influence the growth of the Global Wipes market during the forecast period.

Global Condom Market 2014-2018
M2 - Tue Feb 18, 2:59AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dn8325/global_condom) has announced the addition of the "Global Condom Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Condom market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.39 percent over the period 2013-2018. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the researchers' team said: Numerous consumers are allergic to latex condoms and generally avoid them. This is therefore creating high demand for non-latex condoms though they are costlier than the latex version. The increasing consumer base for non-latex condoms might also lead to condom manufacturing companies introducing an affordable range of non-latex condoms, which will propel the growth of the Global Condom market. According to the report, the increasing need for population control and family planning is one of the major drivers in the market. Condoms are the most effective and efficient method of family planning, and awareness of this fact among end-users and governments is propelling the growth of the global market. Tthe lack of awareness about condoms is the major challenge hindering the growth of the market. Most of the populations residing in underdeveloped nations and in certain developing nations are not completely aware about the advantages and benefits of using a condom. Consequently, they hesitate to use this effective method of contraception or generally avoid using it, which acts as a major inhibitor of the growth of the Global Condom market. Key Topics Covered 1.
