Home care in 2024: The big picture
Spain’s home care industry maintained steady growth in retail current value terms throughout 2024, despite facing challenges in volume across certain segments. Overall, retail value increased by mid-single digits, supported by price stabilisation aligning with the inflation index.
2024 key trends
Aroma emerged as a key priority for consumers in home care in 2024, influencing product development and investments across home care categories. In air care, brands emphasised design and productivity improvements, with candle air fresheners gaining popularity for their dual role as both scent enhancers and decorative items.
Competitive landscape
Private labels continued to gain market share across multiple categories, now accounting for a substantial proportion of Spain’s home care market. Mercadona SA, the leading player overall, drove this trend, controlling over a third of the retail distribution channel market share with its private-label-centric business model.
Retailing developments
Retailers implemented significant price reductions in 2024, intensifying competition and driving consumer demand for private label products. Mercadona, the industry leader, announced its second price cut, followed by Carrefour, which reduced prices by an average of 7% across segments and categories like detergents and surface care.
What next for home care?
The air care category is poised for continued growth throughout the forecast period, with candle air fresheners and electric air fresheners leading the way. Consumers’ focus on wellness and sensory experiences at home is expected to influence other home care categories, prompting brands to differentiate through innovative formats and enhanced sensory appeal.
