Home care in 2024: The big picture
The picture was bleak for home care in Ecuador in 2024, with marginal current value growth and a slight fall in volume sales. Ecuador encountered a series of challenges in 2024.
2024 key trends
The muted performance was seen across the board, with the exception of air care, which registered both healthy current value and volume growth. The desire for a more pleasant living space during challenging times fuelled demand for air care, as it is seen as an affordable way to improve wellbeing.
Competitive landscape
The two top companies, that is global giant Unilever Andina Ecuador SA and local company La Fabril SA, continued to have a strong lead, and were the only companies with a double-digit value share. These companies are committed to aggressive marketing strategies and invest heavily in mass media campaigns to boost brand visibility and consumer engagement.
Retailing developments
The small local grocer channel accounted for most value sales in 2024, followed by supermarkets and hypermarkets. However, the standout performer in terms of value growth over the review period has been discounters.
What next for home care?
Weak public finances and energy shortages, among other factors, will pose major challenges for the economy over the forecast period. As such, consumers will remain highly price sensitive.
