Local Manufacturers Drive Home Care Sales through Affordability
Home care recorded strong growth in 2025, driven by the dominance of local brands, evolving product formats and multifunctionality demand, though persistent inflation and currency depreciation constrain consumer purchasing power. Liquid format adoption is accelerating as Ajax transitions from bar to liquid dishwashing while Largo strengthens position through multipurpose applications spanning laundry care, surface care, and toilet care. Competition remains fragmented with Repi Soap & Detergent SC leading through affordable multifunctional products, while small-scale local manufacturers capture substantial share, benefiting from low entry barriers and price competitiveness strengthened by post-import ban production expansion. Traditional grocer retailers sustain channel dominance, though e-commerce platforms are gaining a presence. The category outlook anticipates continued expansion driven by urbanisation and home hygiene awareness, with local production dominance projected to persist. To succeed in this market, brands should focus on offering affordable and innovative products that cater to changing consumer preferences, particularly the trend towards liquid detergents and multifunctionality.
