Growth in the household and personal care sector
The beauty of success
Household and personal care (HPC) companies face several challenges in today’s multifaceted global marketplace.
These include:
- Limited growth in established markets
- Challenges around realizing value in rapid-growth economies
- Increasingly complex routes to market
- Rising and volatile cost pressures
- Growing pressure to be responsible corporate citizens
Responding to these pressures, leading companies are focusing on the fundamentals, including:
- More rigorous execution around core products in existing markets
- Greater cost reductions to relieve pressure on margins
- Better management of counterparty default risks and supply-chain risk
“In an environment of constant change and spiraling complexity, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the traditional operating model, if not broken, is no longer fit for purpose.”
