Bath and Shower in the United Kingdom

In 2024, bath and shower products saw a modest increase in value sales in current terms in the UK, with growth constrained by maturity across most categories. Body wash/shower gel remained the largest category. While it saw sales rise in current value terms, the category experienced stagnation at constant 2024 prices and in volume terms during the year as it suffered from maturity and budget-conscious consumers’ efforts to cut back on their household expenditure.
