Household products industry
Article Abstract:
The household products industry has managed to stay in the middle of the pack both in economic growth and development and in investment strength largely through its ability to add innovative variations to its commonplace products and by broadening to the international market where its products are not commonplace. Individual companies that have learned to work with mass merchandisers, have consolidated, and are producing new products will provide special situations for investment in an industry whose securities usually trade at high relative P/E multiples.

Household products industry
Article Abstract:
Large companies in the household products industry appear to have an advantage, as consumers do more of their shopping at mass merchants such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The smaller companies are more flexible, but the demand for lower prices causes erosion of margins, and savings of scale become important. Giants like Procter & Gamble find it necessary to grow by acquisition to compete in the global market.
