Home Care in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Feb 2019High price-elasticity in home care is stretched as result of frugality
The economic and political uncertainties that characterised 2018, accompanied by one-time events such as the trucker strike that paralysed Brazil for two weeks, harmed the more optimistic predictions in the beginning of the year. The underlying factors that adversely affect consumption remain – high unemployment rate and tight disposable income.
Amid rationalisation in purchasing, more added-value products gain ground
Lower spending in 2018 continued to force down prices in most home care categories especially those that suffer from low brand differentiation. Nevertheless, the cautious consumption environment did not inhibit consumers from seeking out more convenient, effective and sensorial-driven home care products.
The gap between multinationals and local players shrinks
The dominance of multinationals in most home care categories is starting to be challenged by local entrants tapping into the same categories and offering comparable quality. Intermediate players such as Gtex Brasil Ltda, K & M Indústria Química Ltda, Limppano SA and Cera Ingleza Ingleza Indústria e Comércio Ltda are penetrating further and their products are consolidating as primary options, fundamentally for consumers with diminished purchasing power.
Knowledge of Brazilians’ sensorial identity is a way of adding value
The understanding of consumers’ sensorial profile is increasingly being researched by manufacturers as a strategy to assess more precisely which fragrances and certain product attributes, eg foam dispensing, are valued by Brazilians. In addition, the lower mobilisation of home care in comparison with more appealing industries, such as beauty and personal care, and packaged food, is leading manufacturers to distinguish their brands through high-end ingredients, which are being well received by consumers.
The outlook is positive as faster innovation pace is linked with market maturity
The more optimistic economic predictions for the forecast period will likely drive growth in consumption, filling the blanks left by lower demand recently. More importantly, home care players are aware that, with a more stable economy, they can increase both volume and value sales.
