Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2014 -- Following a poor performance in 2012 that was largely caused by some poor weather, the improved conditions in 2013 meant that volume sales did pick up with 1% growth (as against a fall of 2% the previous year.) However, the ongoing recession meant that retailers and manufacturers were forced into cutting prices and offering discounts and promotions where possible to bolster sales and this means that insecticides records declining value sales for the seventh consecutive year, albeit at the lowest level of decline in that period.

Competitive Landscape

Allegro remained the dominant player in home insecticides throughout the review period and accounted for 52% value share in 2013. The company benefits from representing SC Johnson's Raid and Sara Lee's Vapona brands, with these jointly dominating spray/aerosol insecticides. These are well-known global brands with a strong reputation for efficacy and also benefit from the widest and most consistent distribution presence.

Industry Prospects

Consumers will continue to prefer home insecticides that are used only when and where needed during the forecast period, with many being concerned about the potential for toxic chemicals in these products. As a result, electric insecticides and insecticide baits are expected to continue to see volume sales decline during the forecast period. Spray/aerosol insecticides and "other" home insecticides are meanwhile set to see volume sales grow, with the latter product area chiefly benefiting from a good performance for ant powder.
