Home care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, home care in Bulgaria remained stable in retail volume terms, following declines in the previous two years, due to significant price increases. In 2022 and 2023, the market returned to lower pre-COVID volumes, after experiencing exceptional growth in categories such as bleach and toilet care, spurred by heightened hygiene standards during the pandemic.
2024 key trends
The convenience trend continued to drive most home care product choices in 2024, contributing the positive development of subcategories like multi-purpose cleaners, toilet liquids and foams, concentrated liquid detergents, liquid tablet detergents, and automatic dishwashing liquids and tablets. These products offer the advantages of being easy to store and simple to use, as well as being economical.
Competitive landscape
Despite a significant increase in household incomes, this was offset by an even higher increase in everyday expenses, prompting many consumers to seek cheaper alternatives within home care. As a result, private labels gained popularity, offering high-quality products at affordable prices.
Retailing developments
In 2024, the fastest-growing retail channels in Bulgaria’s home care market were e-commerce and discounters, with Lidl leading the latter. E-commerce attracted more customers, driven by the increasing demand for convenient and time-saving shopping solutions.
What next for home care?
Over the forecast period, the home care market in Bulgaria is expected to see slow, yet steady growth in retail volume terms, with performance varying by subcategory. The strongest performers are likely to be innovative, or convenience-driven offerings, such as liquid tablet detergents, concentrated liquid detergents, liquid fabric softeners, and rim blocks.
