Home care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, home care in Argentina experienced a significant retail volume decline, primarily driven by an economic recession, currency depreciation, and persistently high inflation. The new government that took office in December 2023 implemented a drastic devaluation of the Argentine peso, reducing its value by more than 50%.
2024 key trends
In 2024, inflation and price sensitivity had a significant impact on the consumption of home care products in Argentina. As consumers' disposable incomes were reduced, many consumers limited their purchases, migrated to cheaper options or stopped buying goods within areas they deemed unnecessary.
Competitive landscape
The turbulent business environment in Argentina, coupled with multinational corporate reconfigurations on a global scale, triggered significant mergers and acquisitions in 2023 and 2024. Local players capitalised on this shift, acquiring strategic brands that were previously operated by global companies.
Retailing developments
In 2024, there was a noticeable shift from modern retailers, particularly hypermarkets, towards small local grocers. This marked a sharp departure from the trends observed between 2021 and 2023.
What next for home care?
Home care in Argentina is expected to record growth over the forecast period, driven by rising disposable incomes, and an expanding GDP. Controlled inflation will also play a key role in supporting consumer spending and boosting the sector’s performance.
