Home care in 2024: The big picture
Home care in Austria recorded moderate single-digit current value sales growth, thanks in part to increases in average unit prices, across almost all categories in 2024. However volume sales remained stagnant or saw a decline.
2024 key trends
Local consumers continued to prioritise high-quality homecare products despite limited purchasing power. Key factors include convenience, ease of use, and added benefits like lower dosages at lower temperatures and more rapid cleaning power.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, the competitive landscape in home based on care remained stable, with leading international brands Henkel, Procter & Gamble, and Reckitt Benckiser collectively dominating sales due to their diverse product ranges, frequent launches, and a strong media presence. Brand recognition, built on expertise and consumer loyalty, continued to drive demand.
Retailing developments
Austrian consumers value tradition in their shopping habits. They also appreciate convenience, simplicity, and value for money.
What next for home care?
Demographic and economic developments over the forecast period are expected to benefit sales of home care products in Austria. The demand for hygiene and cleanliness is anticipated to remain high, but time constraints and busy lifestyles may limit the frequency and effort dedicated to cleaning.
