Fast Market Research recommends "Irons in Portugal" from Euromonitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/19/2014 --Irons saw a significant volume and current value decline in 2013, affected by the steep economic recession and the drop in disposable incomes. Portuguese consumers simply saw no immediate need for a new iron in 2013, as long as their old one still functioned - in other words, the replacement life cycle was extended amidst the crisis. Other than that, irons was a pretty static category (a staples category), with no ground-breaking changes taking place in 2013.

Competitive Landscape

SEB Portugal Electrodomesticos maintained its leading position in irons in Portugal in 2013, with a 24% volume share. Innovation is the key driver of the company's ongoing leadership. It launched cordless steam iron Tefal Freemove, which is widely regarded as the most innovative product launched in irons in Portugal in late 2012 and 2013. The launch of Tefal Freemove provoked a significant buzz, as it makes ironing easier and more comfortable, as there is no cumbersome electrical cord getting in the way.

Industry Prospects

Retail value growth in irons during the forecast period is likely to be driven by the rising penetration of steam generators/ironing systems. The proportion of steam generators/ironing systems within irons in Portugal continues to increase with each passing year. As steam generators/ironing systems generally carry retail selling prices three to four times higher than the retail selling prices of traditional steam irons, steam generators/ironing systems represents an excellent opportunity for the leading players in the category to offset the anticipated weak demand for irons as a whole in Portugal during the forecast period.
