Environmental concerns have become firmly entrenched in laundry care as a key driver of consumer decision-making. While this has resulted in increased value shares for green brands such as Ecostore and Earthwise, this has also seen action taken by mainstream brands, such as Unilever becoming B Corp certified and ceasing the use of plastic scoops in its laundry care products.
While New Zealand was subject to high levels of inflation in 2022, this is likely to be only the start of the cost of living pressures to be faced by consumers over the forecast period. While inflation levels are expected to ease off from the beginning of the forecast period, a key driver of this is expected to be rising interest rates, with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand expected to raise the Official Cash Rate to 3% by 2023.
One of the constraints facing laundry care in 2022 was population growth reaching its lowest level in 35 years, owing to the country’s border remaining largely closed until mid-way through the year. New Zealand was slower to reopen than countries such as Australia as COVID-19 eased, so the return of migrants was also slower, and this impacted volume growth across a range of categories, including laundry care.
