Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/02/2014 --Vacuum cleaners continued to record a positive performance in both current value and volume terms in 2013, with value growth being considerably higher. Consumer demand for vacuum cleaners was stimulated by innovative new technologies introduced by manufacturers. These reflected the trends for bagless and battery-charged vacuum cleaners in Germany, as consumers increasingly opted for these product types in 2013. This led to stronger current value than volume growth in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

The leading player in vacuum cleaners in 2013 remained Techtronic Industries, closely followed by BSH Bosch & Siemens Hausgerate. Both players recorded ongoing volume share growth thanks to their well-established brands Dirt Devil (Techtronic Industries) and Siemens (BSH). Dirt Devil benefited from its competitive prices and broad product portfolio. The new Siemens Q.4 silencePower product range claimed to produce hardly any noise using innovative technology; it also offered a high performance, whilst being extremely energy-efficient. Consumers also responded very positively towards the Siemens brand due to its German heritage and home production for certain product lines.

A similar trend is expected in value terms, with the CAGR at constant 2013 prices remaining flat in the forecast period 2013-2018.

In Germany the household penetration of cylinder vacuum cleaners is very high, which consequently limits the overall growth of vacuum cleaners, and leaves the category dependent on replacement sales.
