Executive summary

Good performance for household care in Austria in 2007

Compared with the current value CAGR for the review period, household care saw positive development in 2007. Laundry care managed to overcome its negative trend and to generate additional sales. Dishwashing products also showed a good performance and maintained its increase. The weather-dependant category of insecticides was also successful. Air care and surface care both generated sales through innovations. In contrast, chlorine bleach and polishes showed weak performances.

Both global and domestic players generate sales

International manufacturers led the household care market in 2007. Henkel Austria GmbH showed the best performance in the overall market, leading in laundry care, surface care and toilet care products. In addition, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary. Reckitt Benckiser Austria GmbH also performed well; positioned first in dishwashing products. In air care SC Johnson Austria GmbH held the leading position, and in insecticides the leader was Joh Alex Niernsee KG. Private label held a firm fourth place in nearly all categories, achieving strong sales with Hofer GmbH & Co KG in dishwashing products and toilet care products.

Innovations, convenience and design in the spotlight

Innovative solutions and convenient products drive sales in this market. A trend towards added value as well as product design played an important role in purchasing decisions. This trend was observed in almost all categories within household care. Multifunctional 7-in-1 products showed a strong performance in dishwashing products. Product design was very important in insecticides, air care and toilet care products in particular. Innovations and convenience were two major trends recorded in the household care market over the review period.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets the leading distribution channel

The majority of household care products were distributed through supermarkets/hypermarkets in 2007. This distribution channel was the leader in almost all household care categories. Consumers prefer supermarkets/hypermarkets as they offer the most convenience when it comes to purchasing. They offer a wide product range, favourable prices and a large retail area where consumers can find everything they need. The second leading distribution channel in 2007 was health and beauty retailers, and discounters was positioned third.

Outlook is positive

Sales of household care products will continue to grow over the forecast period. Air care is expected to be a key driver during the forecast period, outperforming the rest of the market. Chlorine bleach looks set to see the poorest performance, in continuation of its performance over the review period.
