Global Fabric Conditioner Market Report 2014: Colgate-Palmolive, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, P&G., Reckitt Benckiser & Unilever to Dominate to 2018
M2 - Wed May 21, 10:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sn275r/global_fabric) has announced the addition of the "Global Fabric Conditioner Market Report 2014: Colgate-Palmolive, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, P&G., Reckitt Benckiser & Unilever to Dominate to 2018" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the growing urbanization around the world. The increase in the economic development of numerous countries, the increasing disposable income of consumers, and the adoption of Western lifestyles are some of the factors attributing to the growth in urbanization which, in turn, is driving market growth. Slow-release or controlled-release technology refers to the controlled release or delivery of compounds or materials over time or in response to some stimuli. The use of this technology is increasing among manufacturers of fabric conditioners as a means to control the release of actives/raw materials such as enzymes, chemicals, anti-static agents, and fragrances, which improves the efficiency and performance of the product. The use of such technology not only helps improve the overall quality of products, but also the efficiency of manufacturers and also helps them to control costs. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges hindering market growth is the near saturation of the market for fabric conditioners in developed countries such as France, the UK, Germany, and the US, which is slowing down the growth of the overall market. Key vendors dominating this space are - Colgate-Palmolive Co. - Henkel AG & Co. KGaA - Procter & Gamble Co. - Reckitt Benckiser Group plc - Unilever Group. Other vendors mentioned in the report are - Church & Dwight Co. Inc. - Kao Corp. - LG Household and Healthcare Ltd. - Lion Corp. - Phoenix Brands LLC - Pigeon Corp. - PZ Cussons (UK) Ltd. - Safeway Inc. - Sara Lee Corp. - Sears Daily Necessities Ltd. - Seventh Generation Inc. - The Sun Products Corp. - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. - Zhejiang Yuanmin Technology Co.
