Home care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, the performance of the home care sector in Nigeria was significantly affected by sharp increases in unit prices, ranging from 50% to 100% across most categories. This price surge was primarily driven by the depreciation of the local currency and a strong rise in energy costs, which in turn led to higher import and production expenses.
2024 key trends
In 2024, only five categories posted positive retail volume growth in the home care sector in Nigeria: bar detergents, hand wash detergents, bleach, insecticide coils, and scouring agents. These categories benefited from having a wide range of local brands in competition, while also being viewed as essentials.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, the home care landscape in Nigeria underwent a significant shift when Unilever Nigeria Plc announced the discontinuation of its homecare and skincare–cleansing brands, including the popular OMO and Sunlight detergent. This move followed the pullout of PZ Cussons Plc’s brands from the hand wash detergent market in 2023.
Retailing developments
Small local grocers, including kiosks and independent stores, have traditionally been the primary distribution channel for home care products in Nigeria. In 2024, these retailers continued to be the leading channel for home care sales.
What next for home care?
Home care is expected to perform well over the forecast period, with retail sales set to increase at a current value CAGR of 19% (2024 constant value CAGR of 3%). This performance will be bolstered by an economic recovery, as sales bounce back from the challenging conditions of the review period, characterised by high inflation and weakened consumer spending power.
