Home care in 2024: The big picture
Home care saw marginal growth in both volume and value sales in Canada in 2024, having seen value growth driven by significant price increases in the previous year. In 2024, demand was dampened by consumers reining in and cutting back on spending in response to the increased cost of living, including high prices for essentials such as groceries and housing.
2024 key trends
Consumer awareness of hygiene and the health and wellness trend persisted in 2024 in the post-pandemic era. Despite the impact of high inflation and increased prices for home care products, consumers have maintained a level of interest in hygiene.
Competitive landscape
There were no significant changes in the competitive landscape for home care in 2024. Procter & Gamble retained the lead, some way ahead of Reckitt Benckiser Canada Inc in second place, while SC Johnson & Son Ltd remained in third.
Retailing developments
Retailers looked to expand operations and invest in upgrading locations to better serve consumers towards the end of the review period. For example, Loblaw Companies Ltd, which owns multiple retail banners including the national Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy chain and the Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore and No Frills grocery chains, announced it expected to invest more than CAD2 billion in 2024 in building 40 new stores and renovating more than 700 others.
What next for home care?
Home care is projected to see volume sales stagnate over the forecast period. However, a number of product areas, such as multi-purpose cleaners and liquid tablet detergents, are set to see volume growth due to consumers using these products with greater frequency and also in part because of immigration-led population growth over 2022-2024, which has boosted the consumer base.
