Project Profile of Shampoo and Personal Care Product Plant in Bangladesh
The personal care and cosmetics industry in Bangladesh is growing rapidly. Consumers are becoming more aware of hygiene, grooming, and wellness. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other personal care products are in high demand across urban and rural areas. Therefore, setting up a shampoo and personal care product plant in Bangladesh is a promising business opportunity with excellent growth potential.
This blog provides a detailed project profile, including investment requirements, production capacity, machinery costs, raw material costs, and expected returns in BDT.
1. Introduction
Bangladesh’s personal care industry is expanding at a rapid pace. Increasing population, urbanization, rising disposable income, and growing awareness about hygiene are key drivers. Both local and international brands are active in the market, but there is still significant opportunity for new players, particularly those focusing on quality and affordability.
A shampoo and personal care product plant can cater to domestic needs and also target export markets in neighboring countries. Products like herbal shampoos, anti-dandruff shampoos, conditioners, body wash, lotions, and soaps can be produced under a single plant.
2. Project Scope
The proposed plant will manufacture:
-
Shampoo (various types: herbal, anti-dandruff, volumizing, moisturizing)
-
Conditioner
-
Body wash and shower gel
-
Hair oil and hair serum
-
Lotion and cream
-
Soap bars and liquid soap
The plant can produce both retail-size products (100ml–500ml) and professional-size products (1L–5L) for salons and hotels.
3. Location
Choosing the right location is critical for raw material availability, labor access, and logistics. Ideal locations include:
-
Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ)
-
Chittagong EPZ
-
Narayanganj Industrial Area
-
Gazipur Industrial Area
These areas provide proximity to transportation hubs, suppliers, and a skilled labor force.
