We work in the category
TopBB of fibrewise pointed topological spaces over
B. Let Γ be a co-Hopf space (which need not be co-associative) in
TopBB. The Γ
B-suspension space Γ
BX and the Γ
B-loop space Γ
B*X of a fibrewise pointed space
X over
B are defined as generalization of the usual suspension space Σ
X and the loop space Ω
X respectively, Γ
B-suspension spaces and Γ
B-loop spaces have some properties similar to those of the usual suspension spaces and loop spaces. This is an example of Eckmann-Hilton duality. In this paper, decomposition theorems of Γ
B-suspension space Γ
BX and Γ
B-loop space Γ
B*X are proved. Short exact sequences of homotopy sets involving Γ
B-suspension spaces or Γ
B-loop spaces are obtained in the category of algebraic loops.
