Home care in 2024: The big picture
In Hungary, challenging economic conditions, including sluggish macroeconomic growth and persistent inflation, significantly impacted the home care market in 2024. While rising prices boosted current value sales, volume sales declined across several key product categories.
2024 key trends
Private label products are gaining prominence in Hungary, reflecting a shift towards value-oriented options. Health and beauty specialist retailers like dm Drogerie Markt, Rossmann, and Müller are expanding their presence, offering a wide selection of private label offerings.
Competitive landscape
Superio Kft, primarily known for its environmentally-friendly products, experienced a significant decline in retail value share during 2024. The company was severely affected by the challenging economic conditions, leading to a sharp drop in its home care sales.
Retailing developments
Health and beauty specialists, the second-largest retail channel (after hypermarkets), gained value share within the home care market in 2024. Their growing popularity was driven by a wide product selection catering to all price levels, including a variety of increasingly popular private-label offerings.
What next for home care?
In Hungary, inflationary pressures are expected to subside over the forecast period, enhancing consumers' purchasing power. This improvement is anticipated to drive a shift towards premiumisation and an increased demand for environmentally-friendly home care products, including those with sustainable packaging.
