Executive summary

Progress on the back of rising consumer expenditure

Sales of household care products were strong in 2007; growing faster than over the review period. In 2007 the average monthly salary reached PLN2,691, and enjoyed growth of about 9% on the previous year allowing Poles to spend more money on household care products. The rising number of new home being built, especially in the biggest cities, was a contributory factor. Polish consumers also started to shift their purchasing patterns towards higher quality products. Skin friendly solutions also enjoyed growing sales. Manufacturers put emphasis on the education of consumers which translated into sales of more task-specific products.

Multinationals lead

Multinational companies led the household care products market in Poland in 2007. Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser, Henkel, PZ Cussons, SC Johnson and Unilever enjoy strong positions worldwide, although Poland is one of the few countries where these giants are simultaneously present. This makes it difficult for smaller regional and national players to survive in the market place as they simply do not have access to the financial resources required to invest in the product development and innovation required to compete. The strong position of the multinationals limits the choice of products available to consumers.

Supermarkets developing rapidly

The supermarket/hypermarket channel is being driven forward by the presence of such international players as Tesco. The smaller supermarket format appears to be more favourable with Polish consumers than the larger hypermarkets. Furthermore the relatively low number of large cities in Poland means that suitable locations for the larger format are somewhat limited and the format is quickly approaching saturation point in. Furthermore, supermarkets are better adjusted to meeting the needs of the average Polish consumer. Independent stores are expected to suffer from the expansion of supermarkets, as consumers will appreciate the convenience that shopping in a supermarket brings. Furthermore, due to economies of scale, supermarkets are also able to offer lower prices.

Good prospects ahead

Household care products is predicted to enjoy good progress over the forecast period. The growing purchasing power in line with the diversifying needs of Polish consumers will drive demand for household care solutions. The expected growing need for indulgence will drive an impressive increase in sales of air care products. The growing awareness of Polish consumers will push sales of insecticides. Air care products and insecticides will be the fastest growing categories. In contrast, chlorine bleach will be the biggest loser due to the increasing number of Polish consumers who will opt for more delicate solutions in surface care, toilet care and laundry care which offer similar results to the more abrasive, chlorine bleach.
