Home care in 2024: The big picture
The home care market in France recorded a slight decline in retail volume sales during 2024, although value growth persisted as a result of elevated inflation across categories. While traditionally stable, the home care industry saw an unprecedented surge in demand for products during the pandemic as consumers prioritised cleanliness and hygiene in their living spaces.
2024 key trends
The decline in consumer purchasing power was the defining influence on demand for home care products in 2024, with elevated prices continuing to impact the market. Efforts by central banks to combat inflation inadvertently slowed economic activity, prompting consumers to prioritise affordability.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape for overall home care in France in 2024 remained dominated by multinational companies such as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Henkel, Colgate-Palmolive, and Reckitt Benckiser. These major players leverage established brands, robust promotional strategies and sophisticated marketing campaigns to maintain their market presence across various distribution channels.
Retailing developments
Grocery retailers continued to dominate as the primary distribution channels for home care products in France in 2024. Supermarkets and hypermarkets remained popular due to their broad product assortments, competitive pricing and value-oriented private label lines.
What next for home care?
The outlook for the home care market in France remains uncertain. Price increases and economic pressures are expected to continue influencing consumer behaviour, with many sticking to cheaper options while adjusting to the constraints of the Descrozaille Law.
