Home care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, home care in Finland experienced solid current value growth, albeit at a slower pace compared to the previous year. While price increases helped to fuel value growth, price hikes have moderated as inflation begins to subside.
2024 key trends
In 2024, home care sales were driven by sustainability, convenience and health sensitivities. Consumers placed greater emphasis on eco-friendly products, opting for those with biodegradable ingredients, recyclable packaging, and natural formulations.
Competitive landscape
The home care landscape remains highly competitive in Finland with both international brands and domestic players vying for retail value share. While private label is gaining ground by offering affordable, high-quality alternatives, established international brands from the likes of Unilever Finland Oy continue to exert a strong position, leveraging their strong brand recognition and extensive distribution networks.
Retailing developments
Home care is witnessing some notable changes in distribution. Discount retailers like Tokmanni and K-Rauta are becoming more popular as consumers seek affordable home care products, driven by cost-of-living pressures.
What next for home care?
Looking ahead to 2025, Finnish households are expected to continue focusing on smart consumption and value for money, especially with the uncertain economic outlook. The trend towards simpler, multifunctional products will gain momentum, as consumers want easy, all-in-one solutions that reduce clutter and free up space at home.
