Home care still characterised by multinationals

Multinationals continue to occupy the leading positions within home care such as Unilever Chile HPC, Empresas Demaria and Reckitt Benckiser Chile. Unilever Chile HPC has invested in a domestic production facility, which produces a large proportion of its products. Empresas Demaria is the leading domestic player, closely behind Reckitt Benckiser Chile. The leading players all offer well-known brands and invest in marketing campaigns to support their products. On the other hand, private label held reasonable shares among products with lower levels of differentiation, such as kitchen cleaners, where consumers have less brand loyalty and can be influenced by price.
