Abstract
A change in manufacturers' product strategies consisting of repositioning multifunction tablets under the ‘all-in-one' label, together with streamlining and improving hand dishwashing ranges helped to boost sales growth in 2007 after several years of decline. While prospects for dishwasher detergents are improving in line with the growing level of dishwasher ownership in France, hand dishwashing products are facing a more uncertain future due to the declining frequency of usage and growing price competition, both of which are affecting volume and value sales.
The countries examined within the Consumer Goods Intelligence series of reports are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
The range of products covered in this report includes:
- Hand dishwashing detergents
