Home care in 2024: The big picture
The home care market in Malaysia saw relatively modest growth in current value terms in 2024 compared to the previous two years. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, inflation eased to 1.
2024 key trends
Malaysian consumers are increasingly focused on value for money. Despite the fact that the rate of inflation has eased compared to 2022 and 2023, food prices remain high, leading individuals to cut back on non-essentials to manage the rising cost of living.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape for home care in Malaysia remains fairly fragmented, with the top four players - Procter & Gamble (M) Sdn Bhd, SC Johnson & Son (M) Sdn Bhd, Unilever (M) Holdings Sdn Bhd, and Southern Lion Sdn Bhd - each holding low double-digit retail value shares in 2024. Procter & Gamble leads the market, with a wide range of strong brands, including Fab, Dynamo, Downy in laundry care, and Ambi-Pur in air care.
Retailing developments
Physical stores remain a key channel for local consumers, offering the benefits of no minimum spending requirements for free delivery. Many consumers prefer shopping in-store for the immediate satisfaction of purchasing products and the ability to physically see and touch items.
What next for home care?
The home care market is poised for steady growth in both volume and value (at constant 2024 prices) terms over the forecast period, supported by easing inflation, improvements in the labour market, and government measures such as wage increases to help workers cope with the rising cost of living. These factors should enhance consumer confidence, positively impacting the home care sector.
