Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 08/26/2014 --Bath and shower recorded current value growth of 1% in 2013 which was slightly lower than the rate seen in 2012. Bath and shower has a relatively equal polarisation of products that are performing weakly and strongly. In terms of the weak products, categories such as bath salts/powder and bath oil/pearls struggled to perform well as taking baths becomes less frequent, while the performances of categories such as liquid soap and intimate hygiene held to sustain bath and shower as a whole, preventing it from registering a decline in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

In 2013, Unilever Home & Personal Care Ltd maintained its leadership of the bath and shower category, registering a 27% value share and sales of GBP215 million. The company's strongest brands in bath and shower were Radox with sales of GBP96 million, Dove with GBP70 million and Lynx with GBP38 million. In terms of company share, Unilever grew one percentage point from 26% in 2012; this was largely due to its innovation activities for many of its brands.

Industry Prospects

The bath and shower category is set to see a 2% decline in terms of value sales at constant 2013 prices over the forecast period as a whole, with sales slipping to GBP786 million by 2018. As many brands are now offering similar properties, scents and results, it will become increasingly difficult for one particular brand to strongly outperform another, thus competition will become more focused on pricing. Thus, discounting is expected to play a considerable role, and it is likely to be this that will impact the purchasing decisions of consumers.
