Executive summary

Household care maintains healthy growth in 2007

Supported by the economic development in the country, the Philippine household care market reported slightly stronger value growth in 2007. Volume growth remained healthy for various key products; however an additional factor boosting value growth was improved average unit prices. Through the creation of hybrid or more powerful products which are marketed as better alternatives because of their higher efficacy and better cleaning power, average prices were pushed up. Other product innovations pushing up prices included products that are gentler on the skin as well as products offering more convenience in cleaning rituals.

Industry players further penetrate low-income groups

The household care industry in Philippines is already quite established with a large consumer base of middle- and upper-income consumers. Lower income groups are still largely untapped, especially those living in rural and provincial areas. As such, industry players continued to focus on penetrating these consumers to broaden the consumer base. With this intent, household care companies had to renew their commitment by producing smaller size packages which can be carried by sari-sari stores. During 2007, the trend of going after lower-income groups by packaging household care products like dishwashing products, laundry care, insecticides, toilet care, and polishes into sachets was widespread.

Procter & Gamble strengthens lead over Unilever

Household care in the Philippines is strongly dominated by multinational companies, which occupy the top six spots in terms of value shares as of 2007. Top player Procter & Gamble Philippines managed not only to retain its lead over its closest rival Unilever in 2007, but also extended the lead from 2006. Unilever’s top brand, Surf detergent, lost value share in 2007 to Proctor & Gamble’s Tide. Proctor & Gamble’s Ariel brand also improved its value share considerably after successful re-launches and reformulations. Improvement of product quality and the introduction of new features became significant aspects in 2007, as shown by Ariel’s success.

Dishwashing products clocks another stellar performance

Dishwashing products was still in the development stage in the Philippines up to 2007, with more consumers switching from using laundry care products such as bar detergents to wash their dishes, to using specific hand dishwashing products. With this active switching and increasing product awareness, dishwashing products managed to clock another year of double-digit value growth in 2007. Smaller pack sizes have been the theme of dishwashing products’ performance in 2007, with manufacturers pushing for consumer base expansion through these more affordable pack sizes.

Stable performance expected of household care over forecast period

Household care market will continue to be driven by multinationals, which will keep seeking an untapped consumer base and push for more frequent consumption of their products from existing consumers. Given the already maturing status of the industry, growth is unlikely to be spectacular during the forecast period. However with continuous activity from household care companies, steady performance is still expected. Product innovations will be geared towards time-saving, powerful products that will better cater to consumers’ busier lifestyles. At the same time, manufacturers are still expected to cater to the low-income, price-sensitive consumers by pushing for small pack sizes and economy brands as well.
