Henkel Pakvash is expected to face strengthening competition in laundry detergents in the forecast period, with this being its main product area in home care. However, the company will continue to benefit from a strong reputation for quality, cleaning and effectiveness. The company's performance in the forecast period is likely to be impacted by economic trends, however, with disposable income levels set to decline in real terms. This could result in many consumers opting for lower-priced alternatives in order to save money or could result in Henkel Pakvash increasing its use of price promotions and discounts in order to maintain share.
