Energy efficiency and convenience support growth

Vacuum cleaners maintained its positive performance in 2018, as manufacturers expanded their offer with more energy efficiency products, together with heavy investment in communication and innovation. More powerful and convenient models and increased segmentation of the different types of vacuum cleaners resulted in consumer willingness to invest in replacing their old models with more advanced options which make their cleaning tasks easier and quicker.

Stick vacuum cleaners the hot products in 2018

Despite the importance of cylinder vacuum cleaners in Portugal, stick vacuum cleaners continued to record the strongest retail volume growth in 2018. More powerful versions are available which are easy to store and require less space, offering the independence of battery operation, whilst their ease of use makes these products highly attractive.

Robotic vacuum cleaners continues to grow

The increasing number of pets in Portuguese households, mainly cats and dogs, and growing urbanisation are expected to continue to drive sales over the forecast period.
