Market Insights:
Global Talcum Powder Market Analysis by Product Type
The global talcum powder market is bifurcated into product type, application, distribution channel, and geography. On the basis of product type, the market is further segmented into perfumed talcum powder and non-perfumed talcum powder. The non-perfumed talcum powder is more popular due to concerns over potential health risks associated with fragrance ingredients in personal care products. On the other hand, the perfumed talcum powder may be more in demand due to its pleasant fragrance and perceived benefits such as odor control.
Perfumed Talcum Powder: This type of talcum powder is mixed with fragrances to give it a pleasant scent. It is commonly used as a body powder, and the fragrance can last for hours after application.
