Competitive Landscape
Henkel Leads through Innovation and Sustainability
Dishwashing in Germany is concentrated, with the top two companies, Henkel and Reckitt Benckiser, holding a combined retail value share of 49% in 2025. Henkel leads with a 28% share, followed by Reckitt Benckiser with 20%.
Multifunctional Private Label Products Popular in Dishwashing
In dishwashing in Germany, private label remains important, as inflation-driven price sensitivity is shaping consumer behaviour. Major retailers like Edeka and Rewe are strategically enhancing their own ranges, which are increasingly perceived as high-quality, innovative alternatives to national brands rather than merely budget options.
Opportunities for Players in Both Hand Dishwashing and Automatic Dishwashing
Dishwashing is expected to continue its steady growth trend in the forecast period, which presents opportunities for businesses to innovate and expand their product offerings. In hand dishwashing, manufacturers could capitalise on the trend towards sustainability by developing more refill options and eco-friendly packaging.
