Executive summary

Growth in demand for automatic dishwashers

One of the biggest Bolivian home appliance distributors, D&P, began selling automatic dishwashers in November 2008. Currently, the number of automatic dishwashers in Bolivia is negligible. Considering that washing machines also have a very low penetration (44% urban areas, negligible in rural areas), hand washing is still the most common method for washing clothes and dishes in Bolivia, with live-in maids typically performing such duties in medium and upper income segments.

However, despite the global economic downturn, recently there have been signs that demand for household care products is increasing in Bolivia and most household care segments are expected to record growth over the forecast period.

Increasing sales within supermarkets/hypermarkets and general markets at expense of contraband goods

The widespread availability of illegally imported goods is a major constraint to growth within the formal household care segment. However, the increasing popularity and expansion of supermarkets/hypermarkets and recent improvements in the country’s economy have resulted in an increasing number of medium and upper income consumers shopping within formal retail channels. More affluent consumers are increasingly purchasing goods within supermarkets/hypermarkets and established general stores due to the fact that such outlets are offering original products at competitive prices.

Bolivian household care market continues to expand

The availability of illegally imported goods has plagued the Bolivian market for decades and limited growth within domestic industries. Nevertheless, companies like Astrix SA, which entered the market with significant investment in technology, manufacturing, and distribution are now helping to expand the Bolivian household care segment. Such is the development of the segment that it may be hard for international firms to catch up with increasingly stronger domestic companies with local roots and an understanding of how to survive with the availability of contraband.

Dysfunctional distribution network

Logistical problems have limited many household care businesses from achieving higher growth rates simply because the products cannot reach their final destination. For example, in 2007 and part of 2008, the supply of insecticide brands from Argentina was severely disrupted due to manufacturing and distribution problems. In addition, demand for Argentinean products also dropped significantly recently due to significant price inflation, fuelling demand for illegally imported products from Brazil and Peru.

Growth expected despite local and global economic downturn

Moderate economic growth has helped to establish several household care segments in Bolivia and despite the worsening economic outlook, demand is expected to remain constant over the forecast period. The fact that both domestic manufacturers and importers are increasing their marketing investments highlights the significant potential of the household care segment in Bolivia. Since a large number of Bolivian consumers are unfamiliar with household care products, many adverts focus on informing consumers of the benefits and ways of using such products. Many household care segments remain highly underdeveloped in Bolivia, with some categories having market penetration rates of under 10%.
