Household products industry

Article Abstract:

The growth of huge retail mass merchandisers has placed the household products industry in a questionable financial position where small and medium sized manufacturers may be forced to merge with the giants in order to keep retailers from controlling their production and profits. Even giant manufacturers had their problems with retailers but they seem to have managed these in 1996. Investors should follow the companies who embark on acquisition projects because marketing competition will be increasing.

Household products industry

Article Abstract:

The household products industry is not as resilient as it used to be and its stocks are not as wise an investment as they used to be. Its profits are not growing as effortlessly due to a decrease in consumer demand for housewares. Mass merchants are forcing manufacturers to follow their demand guidelines. Consumable products companies are wiser investments.
