    Price rises have been a key driver of value growth in

    many Household categories in 2012. As we start toannualise against these, and with already high levels

    of volume on deal, NPD could be a key driver of

    growth in 2013 and could justify higher prices.

    Key trends

    France and the UK are gaining

    share of Household at the

    expense of the larger but static

    German and Italian markets. All

    countries have grown vs Q2 but

    France and the UK are the only

    countries to grow vs Q3 2011.

    Sales are up 1.5% with Dishwash

    growing at the fastest rate acrossthe top 5 categories but Fabric

    Detergents are delivering the

    largest absolute growth. All of

    these categories are in growth

    with only Shoe Cleaners and Air

    Fresheners in decline.

    Overall Household sales are at

    their highest point over the last 6

    quarters but can this price-ledgrowth continue in 2013 after

    signs that growth is slowing?

    Category Insights

    Fabric Detergents continues as the largest growth category in absolute terms. All

    countries exc Spain have had significant growth.

    Dishwash also has good levels of growth and has overtaken the slowing Paper

    Disposables in terms of absolute growth. It is the only category to grow across all

    European countries with the Hand sector key to driving this growth.

    Paper Disposables continues to achieve high growth figures, driven by the

    increased costs of raw materials. This category is successful in every country withthe exception of Germany where it is the biggest source of loss and Italy. Growth

    continues to slow across the continent.

    Insecticides has turned around its poor performance during this summer season and

    is no longer in decline.

    Air Fresheners is the largest declining category, driven by Spain and Italy. Evidence

    that non-essential categories are most affected.

    continuing development of Capsules.

    Paper Disposable growth mainly comes from Toilet Paper, through base sales.

    Private Labels are still strongly contributing to all the Paper Disposable segment

    growth.

    major brands as well as PLs contribute to market growth. On ADW, strong

    contribution from Unilever (innovation, promotion and good base sale trend). Basesales are in growth thanks to more items per store.

    Household Cleaners continue to grow thanks to Multipurpose Cleaning. In this

    sector, Reckitt Benckiser low price strategy enables it to record the highest growth

    rate.

    Air Fresheners ahead of Fabric Enhancers this quarter. This category mainly grows

    through innovation.

    Key trends

    Italian Macro Economical scenario is

    in deep recession: consumption is

    decreasing twice the rate of 2009

    and strongly decreasing versus Q2,

    unemployment is steadily increasing

    and GDP forecast also for 2013 is

    more negative than expected.

    Inflation is decreasing if compared

    with previous months and

    consequently there is a slowing downin expense growth. Promotional

    volume sales are still slowly

    increasing, especially for branded

    products.

    Due to this general downturn, Private

    Labels are gaining market share

    more and more in every segment of

    FMCG. An unexpected growth in

    premium private labels.

    Category Insights

    Comparing to Food and Beverage, Households markets are still negative in volumeand also in value in 2012 (YTD), even if there are some channels such as

    drugstores and discounters that are quite positive. Also, some important markets

    such as Fabric Detergents and Enhancers are structurally changing their offer.

    Among the top 5 household categories only Fabric Detergents and Dishwash are

    increasing in value. Fabric Detergent growth due to Machine washing, but volume is

    decreasing due to the general downsizing.

    Paper Disposables for the first time static (-0.4%) mainly due to the toilet paper

    decrease and paper wraps increase. This market is a Private label domain. Fabric Enhancers are now negative again after a settled Q1 and some months of a

    strong decrease: machine descalers still have a positive trend but other categories

    are decreasing. In the softeners market we audited the same dynamic of downsizing

    as Fabric Detergents.

    In Dishwashing categories, both auto dish washing and hand dish washing are

    growing. Both categories are strongly promoted in store whilst hand dish washing is

    a private label domain. Only Machine additives are negative.

    Private Labels confirmed strong growth. As a new phenomenon there is aninteresting increase in premium price private label. PL are using promotions more

    and more using similar leverage and discount level as branded products.

    Consumers seem to continue to be more selective in their choices, FabricEnhancers is more and more dropped from the shopping list, as it continues to drop

    in euro sales. This and other examples indicate that consumers stick more to the

    necessities and due to the crisis dropping items that could be perceived as luxury.

    A similar explanation can be given for the decrease in Cleaning Supplies, where

    consumers seem to make choices on what they really need or not, volume is

    especially down, overall result is compensated by price increase minimizing the loss

    in euro sales.

    Consumers seem to buy in more and more volume driven promotions explaining thegrowth of for example Paper Disposables, which at the same time is more driven by

    the price increases. These promotions are done in both drug and supermarket

    channel both trying to win the consumer over.

    Fabric Detergents continued growth in euro sales due to price increases, although it

    grew in both volume and price, the latter grew at a higher rate. The growth was

    caused solely by main wash white, which grew in price the fastest. Pre-wash

    continued the decline. Drug profited of a stronger growth rate than supermarket

    chains, but their relative turnover is still much smaller than supermarket. This is one

    of the other areas where drug continues to gain turnover from supermarkets,supported by continued promotions.

    Key trends

    The Spanish market registers growth

    in Q3 (+2.9%). That growth comes, in

    equal parts, from demand increase

    and price increase. By channels,

    beyond the dynamic Big

    Supermarket, the Medium

    Supermarkets register a positive

    trend in the last few months. All this

    in detriment on Hypermarkets that

    have lost ahead of Supermarkets in

    the last couple of years.

    The Household market has a lower

    increase (+0.7%) and this comes

    equally from price and demand. By

    channels, the structure is very similar

    to the FMCG market with a very

    strong Supermarket due to the

    growth in Big and Medium

    Supermarkets. Hypermarkets and

    Drugstores are in decline.

    Category Insights

    All segments are growing in Paper Disposables. Except toilet paper, all have a flatvolume trend (price increase explains the growth in these segments). In the toilet

    paper segment, the growth of big packs is driving the category.

    There is a change in consumer habits for the Fabric Detergents category. Due to the

    innovation in recent years, Liquid detergents has won market share and is still

    growing. Concentrates, with their smaller size and their lower medium price has the

    change possible, in detriment of Powders. Capsules are also contributing to growth.

    In Cleaning Supplies, gloves' growth is explained by bigger packs in the category

    (50 gloves package), that enable value and volume growth above 5% in this singlesector. Besides this, added value mops (more expensive than traditional ones) are

    growing in the last few periods, so they are driving the value growth too.

    Air Fresheners are decreasing due to lost sales in all the segments, except

    Automatic Air Fresheners. This is the most heavily declining category in the

    Household market. Even Private Label is decreasing and only the new launches in

    Automatic Air Fresheners contribute to growth.

    Insecticides is a very seasonal category and its decrease comes from climatological

    reasons. Also, PL is increasing above 5% in volume and value which has had a

    detrimental effect on the category.

    Fabric Detergents are driving growth this quarter. Main Wash has strong growth thisyear but non-essential parts of the Wash (Wash Treatments) are in decline. Unilever

    has driven growth across Liquid Conc, Capsules and Powder but P&G has strong

    gains on a 12wk basis with strong promotional support in the build up to the Olympic

    games. Growth is driven by no of items and promoted price.

    Household Cleaners continue to grow across the sectors. Reckitt Benckiser are

    driving this in Cleaning whilst Unilever drive growth in Toilet and Bleach (through

    innovation). Cleaning growth is driven by more items per store and base price

    increases.

    Dishwash growth is driven by the Hand sector and led by Own Label, Lever Faberge

    and P&G. There is a positive underlying rate of sale trend within the category whilst

    promotional effectiveness has decreased.

    Paper Disposables is no longer driving the overall Household growth in the UK as it

    is overtaken by 3 of the top 5 categories. Own Label is suffering large losses in Soft

    Tissue and Household Towels with SCA gaining in these areas.

    Fabric Enhancers has made the top 5 contributors to growth list in place of Air

    Fresheners. P&G and Unilever are driving growth within the Rinse Conditioners

    sector with growth from the effectiveness of promotions. Activity on larger packs hasbeen key to getting existing shoppers to buy more.
