Market Challenges And Opportunities
Global Homecare Ingredients Market: Restraints
- Toxicity associated with certain chemicals: The global market for homecare ingredients is projected to experience a decline in growth due to the toxicity of certain chemicals. These chemicals are commonly used in toilet cleaners and have corrosive effects on human tissues as well as the potential to damage internal organs upon contact. Furthermore, these chemicals can be highly toxic for both human and animal health if ingested. Moreover, household bleach contains the chemical sodium hypochlorite, which can cause dermatitis in addition to irritation to the skin. All of these factors are expected to impede the growth of the homecare ingredients market in the near future.
- Counterbalance: The toxicity of the chemicals can be lessened by the use of agents, called antidotes, in order to negate the effect of a toxin or poison. Antidotes mediate its effect either by preventing the absorption of the toxin by binding or by neutralizing the poison.
