In 2024, the home care market in Belgium recorded a retail value uplift of 4%, however, retail volume sales declined. The primary driver behind these results was inflation, which continued to reshape consumer behaviour. Faced with higher living costs, Belgian consumers reduced their purchases, opting to buy less detergent, dishwashing liquids, and surface cleaners. Another contributing factor is the increasing concentration of cleaning formulas, which require smaller amounts of product per use.
