Slow Value Growth Masks Significant Transformations
In 2025, Bulgaria’s home care market saw modest value growth, with retail sales reaching BGN805 million—a 3% increase over the previous year. This uptick was largely due to stable or rising retail prices, influenced by higher minimum and average wages that pushed up production costs. Despite the slow pace, the market is undergoing significant changes as consumer preferences and behaviours shift, particularly towards multifunctional and sustainable products. Shoppers are increasingly looking for items that deliver various advantages, including strong cleaning performance, colour protection, and lasting freshness. Leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, and Henkel continue to dominate the market, leveraging innovation and robust marketing. As health and environmental concerns gain traction among consumers, brands are responding with new formulations and campaigns that emphasise the emotional appeal of their offerings.
