Laundry Care Dominates Sales in a Low-Growth Environment
Home care in China saw retail value growth of 1% in 2025, with retail volume sales also seeing a rising trend. However, while large categories such as laundry care, surface care, and dishwashing saw positive performances, polishes, toilet care and bleach saw value declines due to substitution or loss of interest. The health and wellness trend is reshaping product development and marketing strategies, with a focus on natural surfactants, food-grade additives, and biodegradable components. Brands are leveraging digital marketing strategies and e-commerce platforms to attract customers and drive growth. Moving forward, a retail current value CAGR of 2% is expected to 2030, driven by increasing demand for products that deliver emotional value and self-care experiences. Laundry care is anticipated to remain the largest category, with consumers seeking premium features and benefits. The median disposable income per household in China is projected to increase, supporting consumer spending on premium home care products.
