Fast Market Research recommends "Bath and Shower in Germany" from Euromonitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/22/2014 --In 2013, bar soap continued to account for the bulk of sales, registering an 82% value share of bath and shower in Guatemala. Bath and shower products have a very high level of penetration, with higher per capita sales compared to many other products. Substitute options are still available but are continuously losing importance given the wide availability of branded items. Investment in product development, promotions and advertising has become heavier in other areas, such as intimate hygiene and body wash/shower gel. Companies have been introducing new products, such as BDF Centroamerica with Nivea Intimo (intimate wash) and Nivea Double Effect (body wash/shower gel), highlighting the growing importance of these two categories.

In 2013, the long-standing leader Colgate-Palmolive Guatemala continued to hold the top position, accounting for a 24% value share. The company's leading position comes as a result of the performance of its brands Protex and Palmolive Naturals. The products are available in modern retailers as well as through the vast number of traditional outlets, where products achieve wide geographical coverage of the country. Given several brand extensions of these products, the company is able to reach consumers searching for different types of products at various price levels.

Industry Prospects

Bar soap is expected to continue to account for the bulk of sales over the forecast period; however, innovations are predicted to become increasingly important within the category, especially in more-dynamic areas such as body wash/shower gel. As previously seen in other countries in the region, it is expected that in 2014, BDF Centroamerica will introduce its product Nivea Bajo La Ducha. The product is marketed as a body care cream that can be applied in the shower and that serves a double purpose: body care and shower gel.
