Home care in 2024: The big picture
The major factor shaping the performance of home care in Slovakia at the end of the review period remained the relatively low purchasing power of consumers. Despite a slowdown in both the country’s rate of inflation and price increases in home care in 2024, local consumers remained careful with their spending.
2024 key trends
Consumers in Slovakia increased their demand for home care products that were convenient and, at the same time, highly effective, in order to save time and effort on their daily cleaning or washing tasks. Therefore, selected home care products moved to the front of the queue for more consumers, such as automatic dishwashing tablets, especially as the possession rate of dishwashers increased.
Competitive landscape
Retailing developments
Supermarkets, health and beauty specialists and hypermarkets remained the leaders in home care distribution in retail value terms in 2024. Importantly, the leading formats are seeing increases in outlet networks in Slovakia.
What next for home care?
Overall, home care is projected to witness slow-to-moderate, but positive retail volume and value (constant 2024 prices) growth over the forecast period. 2025 is a crucial year, as new legislative changes come into effect.
