Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2014 -- Japan suffered from instances of bird flu in 2011 and while there were no cases of human infection many consumers remained concerned at the end of the review period, particularly given outbreaks of bird flu in China and South Korea at the end of the review period. In addition, the rising incidence of norovirus in Japan during the review period further increased consumers' concern over the spread of viruses, particularly as mutated strains of norovirus were identified in over half of Japan's prefectures in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

Kao was the clear leader in surface care throughout the review period and accounted for almost 47% value share in 2013. The company's Magiclean brand benefits from longstanding strong awareness in Japan and is often consumers' first choice brand in surface care and in the home care products where it is present. Kao also benefited from strong advertising towards the end of the review period, including TV advertising.
