Frost & Sullivan: Emerging Middle Class Helps Sustain Strong Growth in the Brazilian Personal Care Chemicals Market PR Newswire BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept. 26, 2012 - The increased demand on natural products creates a vast market for green chemicals BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Remarkably, the Brazilian market for personal care has demonstrated double-digit growth rate for 15 years on the trot. This pace is not likely to slacken in the near future, if the inversion of the social pyramid is anything to go by. The expansion of the Brazilian middle class, otherwise known as the C class, points to higher purchasing power and thereby, a vast market for personal care chemicals. From 2009 to 2011, about 10 million people joined the middle class demographic and in 2010, it accounted for nearly 46 percent of the personal care market's total revenue. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.chemicals.frost.com), Analysis of the Personal Care Chemicals Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $1.02 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $1.62 billion in 2018.
