From 2007-2009, value sales of home furnishings fell sharply. For a category which had seen value sales grow consistently since 1999, the recession in the US created a perfect storm. First, retail purchases of home furnishings are closely tied to consumer confidence, which was devastated by the financial crisis and the resulting economic turmoil. At the same time, the housing market - which is also closely tied to consumer spending on home furnishings - was perhaps the part of the US economy most severely harmed by the recession. Finally, access to credit dried up as a result of the financial crisis. As many indoor furniture items are very expensive, consumers often rely on credit for such purchases. All of these factors worked to lead retail value sales of home furnishings to fall by 15% between 2007 and 2009. Moving forwards, however, retail sales of home furnishings rebounded, growing by 8% between 2009 and 2012. The category, however, is still well below the pre-recessionary level in terms of overall size in value terms at constant 2013 prices, and in 2013 growth momentum appears to have slowed slightly, with 2% growth in value sales seen during the year.

Fragrances posted a significant value sales increase in 2013 for the first time in the review period. The category benefited from new product development and strong promotional activities which served to attract more consumers. However, the high prices of these products meant that for many Czech consumers they were non-essential products. Thus, fragrances posted current value growth of only 1%.

A new middle class has emerged in Latin America, less affluent than the traditional middle class but hugely aspirational. Economic growth might have cooled, but Latin Americans are more engaged with beauty and personal care than ever before, and they are savvy about brands. Tapping into the region's burgeoning sophistication and meeting consumers' high expectations in terms of a brand's quality, functionality and price point will define the industry's key battlegrounds over 2013-2018.

In 2013, hand dishwashing continued to be the major category in dishwashing. Its products have become popular and essential in every household, including those in both rural and urban areas, thanks to improvements in living standards and hygiene-awareness. Moreover, manufacturers with their marketing and advertising have helped consumers understand more about the benefits of using dishwashing products, such as their friendliness to their skin and health, in contrast with powder detergents. In addition, manufacturers have been paying more attention to developing different package types, sizes and models, such as Sunlight, My Hao and some private label lines. The main purpose is to attract more Vietnamese consumers and give them more suitable and cheaper choices.

At the beginning of 2013, there was a sales restriction on alcohol due to the "Ley Seca" (Dry Law), which limited the selling of alcoholic drinks during pre-established periods, usually holidays. The Dry Law was created to reduce rates of road accidents, violence and crime during holidays. In 2013, this affected sales for about one month between February and March because of the application of the law for Carnival, Holy Week and the death of President Chavez. Despite this, beer demand began to...

During 2013 skin care products returned to double-digit growth delivering an 11% rise in current terms, up from 8% in 2012. Increasing disposable income among middle- and lower-income demographics fuelled growth in skin care products, particularly driven by mass brands targeted towards lower-income customers who have witnessed significant increases in their salaries.

The tradition of pipe smoking in Mexico is weak. Pipe tobacco's characteristics, the process of selecting, mixing and preparing it, and the diverse types of pipes, are all fairly sophisticated, so pipe smokers are considered more educated smokers. It is more difficult to inhale smoke from a pipe, while the taste tends to be bitter and the smoke denser; thus most cigarette consumers do not enjoy smoking a pipe. Pipe smokers tend to be mature adults and the number of pipe smokers is falling.

Sun protection continues to be the largest product category accounting for 87% of total sun care product value sales in 2013. Even though Uruguayans are perfectly aware of the dangers involved in being exposed to the sun without adequate protection, the reality is that skin cancer cases are increasing due to sun exposure. Local authorities are increasing prevention campaigns but these campaigns are failing to reduce the number of cases of skin cancer, and even dermatologists say the numbers are rising. Exposure to the sun during the summer continues to be one of the major risk factors. Former Health Minister Maria Julia Munoz, President of the Honorary Commission for the Fight Against Cancer, explained that even though melanoma is the most malignant of skin cancers and has not shown significant increases, it is not decreasing, despite the intense marketing and information campaigns. Consumers know the risks but do not adopt preventative measures. Patients are increasingly consulting dermatologists as a result of the campaigns but only go to the doctor after they have a problem. The challenge therefore is to achieve prevention. Authorities consider it very important to work in schools with children, as young skin is much more sensitive, and the negative effects should be avoided at the early stages. For instance babies of over 6 months should use sunscreens, with an SPF of 30 or higher, with it being considered better to use child-specific products to avoid irritating substances. It is also important to ensure dual protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and the product should be water resistant. It is recommended to reapply sunscreen every three hours.

Colombia is one of the most appealing destinations for medical treatments in Latin America, because of the high qualifications of its professionals and the low cost of complex procedures compared to the same procedures in the country of origin.

The most demanded procedures were for heart surgery, bariatric surgery, general surgery, aesthetical procedures and eye care. Medical tourism grew over the review period and in 2013 accounted for 50% of total sales.

A chiller is a cooling system that cools a place or equipment by exchanging heat from the surroundings to the liquid used in a closed loop system . Typically chilled water is used for this purpose.

They are also in huge demand in the Beverages, Plastics, and Medical industries.

The health and wellness trend continued to drive sales of juice in 2013. Moroccans began to pay more attention to their health, and took precautions to prevent major diseases. Hence, juice became important, as these products contain large quantities of vitamins and minerals, which help to boost the body's immune system. Thus, juice also became an important alternative to other non-alcoholic drinks, such as carbonates.
