APPENDIX: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Abstract

Dishwashing Detergents - Can the dishwasher ever replace the kitchen sink?

Due to the high level of maturity of hand-dishwashing detergents and the deterioration of the national economy, value growth in the Spanish market for dishwashing detergents slowed down to just under 4% in 2008, taking it to €359 million.

Sales of dishwasher products now exceed those of hand-dishwashing detergents, accounting for nearly 52% of market value. While washing-up liquids have put on a lacklustre performance in recent years, dishwasher products have continued to grow, underpinned by consumer demand for tablets and ancillary products.

Mintel last examined the Spanish market for dishwashing products in April 2008.

The countries examined within the Consumer Goods Intelligence series of reports are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
