Twenty-Five Billion Wash Loads per Year

Companies selling home care detergents - that make for a 4.6% growth market, are often subsidiaries of larger consumer and household product groups. Here is consideration of AG (HEN3:GR) which sells detergents for around 25 billion wash loads per year. Within the same industry, beauty care is seen growing 2% while adhesive technologies will increase 3.7% helping liquids and powder markets.

Henkel AG & Co KGaA headquartered in Germany manufactures soaps, skin care brands, hair dye, perfumes, detergents, dish-washing liquids, glass cleaners, and surface treatments. In addition, the company produces chemical products such as wallpaper adhesives, roofing products, plastic bottles, and corrosion inhibitors – for industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.

Henkel shares are trading at 91 euro, up +1.77% to date and in the middle of a two-month range from 115.75 to 72.02 euro. Its market value is 37.11 million.

The world’s largest retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT) since March 2015 has got a deal for exclusive retail of Henkel’s premium-priced laundry soap brand in the U.S. It has stacked the brand, , on store shelves next to the leading high-end laundry detergent - Tide, manufactured by Procter & Gamble Co (PG) and first introduced in 1946. Henkel’s European brand Schwarzkopf’s Essence shampoo is introduced as well.

Henkel most recently hopes to supply more of adhesive technologies specifically designed for electric vehicles as the ones launched at the Federation Internationale De L’Automobile (FIA) Formula E Championship. For the company as a whole, global sales increased 2.4% to 768 million euro in the three months through June, lower than analysts had expected. Shares dropped the most in six years on slow adhesive sales in comparison to beauty and home-care segments.

Elsewhere in the same worldwide industry, Dutch-and-British food to household group NV (UN) sold in summer 2008 its detergents business in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada to investment fund Vestar Capital Partners Inc for $1.45 billion. New York-based Vestar added the activities to its existing detergents subsidiary Huish Detergents Inc into a new company, now called The Sun Products Corp. London-based Unilever had sold $1 billion worth in detergents during 2007.

In 2014, sales of the top twenty liquid laundry detergent brands in the United States amounted to $34.39 billion, according to Statista.com. The top three were Procter & Gamble’s Tide, Gain and All*.

Arm & Hammer, the registered trademark of Church & Dwight Co Inc (CHD), is ranked fourth with sales of $267.4 million. The logo of this brand is a muscular arm holding a hammer. Originally associated only with baking soda and washing soda, the company began to expand the brand to other products in the 1970s using deodorizing ingredients and including toothpaste.

Thanks to the substantial expansion of the online b2b markets, the soap and detergent industry has benefited manifold. Today even smaller and medium industries are able to keep pace with the multinational companies because of the business-to-business online directories.
