Home care in 2024: The big picture
Home care in Serbia faced ongoing volume sales decline in 2024, despite falling inflation. Most home care categories struggled against weak consumer demand although some began to show signs of recovery, such as air care.
2024 key trends
Busy lifestyles and rising demand for convenience stimulated the launch of novelty products to attract consumers and stimulate category sales. As consumers in Serbia value efficacy, players offered improved and enhanced formulas to stand out on retail shelves, notably in laundry care, dishwashing, and surface care.
Competitive landscape
International players hold a firm lead with Henkel Srbija doo maintaining the top spot, followed by The Procter & Gamble Co and Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc (RB). The diversity of home care products and low levels of differentiation puts the onus on players to focus on branding and marketing tactics.
Retailing developments
Discounters reported double-digit growth in 2024 thanks to outlet expansion, giving this channel a wider presence in Serbia and higher value share in home care. Consumers were drawn to lower prices and the presence of private label.
What next for home care?
Home care is expected to gradually recover over the forecast period driven by an improving economy and stronger private consumption. That said, it will be several years before home care volume sales return to growth.
