Home care in 2024: The big picture
The rate of growth in retail current value sales of home care slowed significantly during 2024 as market conditions normalised. In 2022 and 2023, elevated inflationary pressure had been a significant factor driving growth in retail current value sales of home care, but this subsided in 2024.
2024 key trends
Technological innovations are beginning to play a role in home care, with such advances as assistive robotics and AI-powered care management influencing product development. These technologies, while still niche, are expected to improve efficiency and personalization in the long term.
Competitive landscape
Private label products are also gaining traction in multiple categories, driven by sustained inflation. Irish consumers are increasingly turning to private label offerings that combine high-quality performance with affordability.
Retailing developments
Modern retail chains like Dunnes, Tesco and Supervalu remain the dominant distribution channel for home care in Ireland in terms of retail value sales. Meanwhile, discounters Aldi and Lidl continue to grow in importance as they expand their store networks in Ireland.
What next for home care?
Retail constant value sales of home care will continue to exhibit moderate growth during the forecast period, supported by a rising population, with dishwashing set to be the top performer, ahead of air care and laundry care. Private label will continue to gain ground in home care, supported by the expansion of discounters.
