What is the competitive landscape of this industry in the USA?


Mainly the largest American companies such as Colgate-Palmolive Company, Johnson & Johnson, Inc., Procter & Gamble and Kimberly Clark dominate the competitive landscape of the Household and Personal Products industry in the USA. Each of these companies dominates different categories of products in this industry. Although the companies that I mentioned before are the main ones there are other companies that dominate other categories of products in this industry such as The Sun Products Corporation, Philips Oral Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline, Zero Odor, LLC and S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.

The companies that I mentioned before dominate different categories of the industry according to the Product of the Year USA 2012 award. This is a consumer product award that is voted by consumers. Bellow are mentioned the companies with the specific products that won the award in each respective category.

Starting this month (March 2012) the winning products are going to come with a seal of “Product of the Year.” As well stores will display which these products are. This is really important for the companies of the winning products to remain being key players in the industry. For example, 33% of young consumers (under 35 years) are more likely to buy a product if it won an award. Also consumers in general prefer to buy recommended products.
