Executive summary

A Weakened Economy Affects the Household Care Industry

The economic troubles observed in the US are affecting the Mexican economy by slowing down the performance of macroeconomic indicators with a lower GDP and higher inflation rates. As a result, household expenditure is focusing more on basic food and goods, rather than household care products. Furthermore, rising global prices of petroleum derivatives for the production of household care products are also putting pressure on margins in 2007 and early-2008.

Specific-purpose Products Are on the Rise

The pace in daily Mexican lives is speeding up. More young women have taken full-time jobs leaving them less time to devote to cleaning chores. A preference for convenience products that facilitate household care is on the rise. Task-specific cleaners with effective stain-removal claims in laundry and surface care are increasing their presence at dynamic rates.

Multipack and Co-branding Boosts Consumption

An affordable retail unit price is one of the most significant drivers behind purchases of household care products. The strategy followed in 2007 and 2008 by most of the companies is sales of multipack and cross-product combinations. Multipacks are mostly observed in three products. Cross-product promotions may include a cleaning sponge along with a liquid hand dishwasher for example. Another marketing strategy to stimulate consumption is providing additional content for the same price.

Multinationals Increase Their Scope of Distribution

In an effort to serve the largest consumer base of low-income consumers, multinationals are adapting their products in terms of formulation and packaging size to meet the particular demands of consumers shopping at small independent stores. Demand for affordable price and small packaging prevail in this channel. Multinationals are actively working with store owners to secure a good shelf position for their products and to place attractive printed displays highlighting the availability of the products at the entrance of the store. This competitive strategy has become a wake-up call to domestic producers mostly catering to this channel in the past. Now, these players are being forced to develop marketing and distribution strategies to compete against multinationals.

Forecast Performance

Moderate retail value growth is expected over the forecast period, mostly due to the effects of a weak economy in 2008 and the increasing production costs as a result of rising petroleum prices and its derivatives. However, the growth in the number of Mexican households over the forecast period will help sustain and generate future sales of household care products.
