- Consumers increasingly seek products with added functionality that suit busy lifestyles, whether through pack size or closure type. Packaging that is fun to use (i.e. automatic triggers), comes in bright colors, and allows quick stain removal (i.e. stain-removing pens) is on the radar.
- Products that can be left out and add to the décor is trending. As living spaces shrink, storage space is diminishing and visually appealing packaging not easily recognizable as cleaning products will benefit. Similarly, packaging that is easily stored in tight spaces stand to benefit.
- As consumers become more accustomed to seeing plastic pouches in home care, acceptance of liquid home care products in plastic pouches is expected to rise accordingly. Hence, more home care brands will likely to begin experimenting with plastic pouches over the next few years.
- As more home care products are manufactured in higher concentrations or in solid form, the migration of packaging from HDPE bottles to plastic pouches will continue. HDPE bottles were by far the most popular home care packaging format in the US in 2016, but year-over-year unit volume sales growth was flat whereas plastic pouches grew by double digits.
