Top 9 Household Care Products Manufacturers in the World

The laundry detergent market witnessed a hike of nearly 20% between 2015 and 2019 and is projected to see a further growth of 26% in the forecast period of 2020-2025. Moreover, the advancing technology is resulting in the launch of new product line, fulfilling the demand for premium quality products, which are sustainable as well, thus, supporting the growth of the overall household care industry.

The major players in the global household care industry, including Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and Unilever plc (LON: ULVR), are coming up with new solutions and developments to fulfill the rising demand for sustainable products. In March 2019, Procter & Gamble launched a new plant-based product line under its brand Home Made Simple™, which includes household care products such as multi-purpose cleaner, laundry detergent, and fabric softener, while in January 2019, Unilever announced its acquisition of the Laundress, a New York-based company producing eco-friendly detergents and other home cleaning products. Such developments are expected to aid the global household care industry further.
