According to AP News, droughts and overharvesting in Morocco are putting ecological strain on argan forests, which could threaten long-term production.
There is also concern about economic inequality: many local cooperatives (especially women’s cooperatives) may not reap full benefits, with middlemen capturing a large share of value.
Major trends in the Personal Hygiene Market include sustainability and eco-packaging, growth of men’s hygiene segments, smart hygiene devices, and intimate-care category growth.
Consumers increasingly demand refillable tubs, recycled plastics, biodegradable wipes and minimal-waste packaging. Men’s hygiene sees rising activity with dedicated lines for intimate-care, body-wash, performance-hygiene and grooming-hygiene blends. Smart devices such as automatic soap dispensers, UV-sanitiser units, and connected hygiene-tracking apps represent a nascent but high-interest area.
Intimate-care hygiene for women and men, postpartum hygiene, and adult incontinence solutions grow rapidly as demographics and social acceptance evolve. There is strong link between hygiene brands and wellness influencers, leading to digital-first launches, clean-label claims, and social-media-driven hygiene awareness campaigns. These shifts position hygiene not just as routine but as intentional lifestyle choice.

The Pharmacy Market trends highlight the rise of digital-first pharmacy models, home-medication delivery, telepharmacy consultation, and integrated care networks.
Mobile apps allow patients to reorder prescriptions, compare pricing, book consultations, and manage adherence. Pharmacy fulfilment centres optimise logistics, partner with courier networks and extend cold-chain capabilities to support specialty therapies delivered to home. Telepharmacy enables remote pharmacist consultations and improves access in rural or under-served regions.
Patient-centric care also drives store design, in-store experience, community-health events and wellness retail partnerships. Embedded clinics, health-screening kiosks and immunisation booths turn pharmacies into neighbourhood health-access points. As consumer expectations shift toward convenience, value and integrated care, pharmacies evolve toward omni-channel health-service destinations rather than pure dispensing sites.

Major trends in the Radiation Oncology Market include hypofractionated regimens, adaptive therapy workflows and enhanced patient-centred care designs. Hypofractionation—delivering higher dose in fewer sessions—optimizes resources, improves patient convenience and increases
throughput. Adaptive therapy adapts radiation plans in real-time based on tumour and organ-motion changes, enabled by advanced imaging and AI-planning algorithms. Patients benefit from shortened treatment times, reduced side-effects and improved comfort.
Patient-centred care design also influences centre build-outs and equipment preference—compact linac footprints, faster beam-on times, integrated imaging and better immobilisation devices. Immersive patient-experience elements, like audio-visual systems, accelerated workflow, and outpatient treatment chairs rather than beds, reflect the shift towards convenience and comfort. Together, these trends reshape treatment delivery and investment decisions across the radiation oncology market.
FAQs
What is hypofractionation? Treatment delivered in fewer, larger doses.
