Household Detergents & Cleaners Market Report 2014 - Available Now
M2 - Thu Mar 13, 3:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ktpl42/household) has announced the addition of the "Household Detergents & Cleaners Market Report 2014" report to their offering. In this Market Report, the authors examine the market for household detergents and cleaners in the UK, providing an overview of the current issues affecting the industry and how these have impacted on the industry's market size and growth prospects. In this report, the market is divided into three sectors: fabric care, household cleaning products and dishwashing products. The fabric care products sector made up just over half of the market in 2013, with household cleaning products being the next-largest category, followed by dishwashing products. Although the sector for dishwashing products is the smallest sector in value terms, it has seen the strongest growth over the past 5 years, while over the same period fabric care products, the market's largest sector, has seen considerably lower growth. Between 2009 and 2013, the whole market has witnessed growth of 8.9%, although growth has tapered off in recent years, having peaked in 2010. Several factors in the market have colluded to result in slower growth, including the production of super-concentrated products, the maturity and high levels of competition in the market, and the sharp rise in volume sales from discount retailers. The authors believe that the next 5 years will continue to be challenging for the household detergents and cleaners industry and growth between 2014 and 2018 will be lower than the growth seen between 2009 and 2013 at just 5.8% overall. However, it is likely that growth will be seen, due to continued investment and new product development (NPD), as well as a focus on making cleaners more efficient than ever before.
