Executive summary

Growth in Portuguese population is a factor behind growth in household care products

Although Portugal’s population is ageing it is also increasing, which is one factor sustaining overall growth in the household care market. Despite the lower rate of marriages, there is some growth in the number of households, mostly in urban areas. New households mean more purchases of household care products.

Household care market sees significant growth in 2006

In 2006 the household care market saw a higher rate of value growth than in the previous year. Growth is expected to remain moderate over the forecast period, due to the positive performance of several subsectors.

Multinationals continue to lead the market and show signs of continuous dominance

So far, only the large corporations have succeeded in launching innovations that take into consideration new ecological and health issues, as well as responding to consumer demands. Over the years their sales and volume have grown, winning them bigger profits. The amount of capital available to such players, as well as their authority in the market, has made them key players with bigger margins, enabling them to respond to consumers’ needs.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets lead sales and are the main drivers of growth

Supermarkets/hypermarkets are the main points of sale of household care items. The variety of products available in these large retailers is far superior to smaller stores that are incapable of proper competition.

Environmental issues about the use of detergents, water waste and packaging are important factors affecting the market

Even before 2006, concerns about the impact on the environment affected the household care market. In 2006 companies participated in several campaigns, either social or environmental. The packaging of new products has become an important issue. Packaging has become even more creative, using different environmentally safe materials. Household care products, namely detergents, are addressing consumers’ health concerns and are produced with more natural agents, thus containing less chemicals hazardous to health and the environment.
