The French market for textile washing products: emerging product sectors: detergent tablets
Article Abstract:
A new category in the French textile washing detergent market - concentrated detergent in tablet form - will be introduced by Lever France in April 1998. The category will offer convenience by avoiding the problems of overdosing, waste and spillage that have plagued the concentrated detergent market in general. The downside, however, is the loss of flexibility as consumers will not be able to adjust the amount of detergent as freely as other detergent formats. Overall, concentrated detergent tablets will need to perform better than the more popular powder or liquid detergents and move beyond mere convenience to gain mainstream acceptance.
