Citing NIQ data, Anna Erdődi – junior brand manager of Henkel Magyarország – says that the market for cleaning products, including window cleaners and washing-up liquids, will grow by 6.6% YTD 2024, driven by positive price movements and a small volume growth.

In her opinion consumers are consciously looking for comfortable, multifunctional products with the right functionality and efficiency.

“In the washing-up liquid category the ‘power’ segment is growing fast, while in terms of packaging it is the medium and larger sizes that are really gaining ground. Fragrance-wise Power Lemon is clearly the consumer favourite”,

adds the junior brand manager.

The general spray cleaner category saw the biggest growth

Alexandra Litkei, junior marketing manager of Vileda – Freudenberg Háztartási Cikkek Bt. says this year brought another boom in sales. According to NIQ data, there has been a 7.9% rise in value sales.

“In the cleaning product market consumer demand is shifting towards sustainability, convenience and technological innovation, which can help to clean more efficiently and ecologically. Vileda is in line with this trend in raw material use, durability and packaging”,

explains Alexandra Litkei.

This year Vileda developed a new range, with clothes dryer racks and ironing racks in stylish black. As most homes don’t have a separate laundry room and people are often forced to dry clothes in the living room, clothes dryer racks have almost become a piece of furniture. //
