Understand the forces reshaping household care and identify opportunities for growth in 2027.
Household care is moving beyond standalone products toward connected systems that anticipate needs, automate tasks and coordinate household management.
As technology becomes increasingly embedded in everyday routines, consumers will rely more on interconnected ecosystems of products, appliances, services and platforms to maintain their homes. At the same time, rising expectations around effectiveness, transparency and resilience will place greater pressure on brands to prove the value of their ingredients, supply chains and partnerships.

Key Topics
Household Systems, Not Products
Consumers will increasingly expect household care to be coordinated through connected systems rather than individual products. Over time, these ecosystems will take responsibility not only for cleaning tasks, but also for wellness management, product replenishment and broader household optimisation.
From Ingredient Presence to Ingredient Purpose
Consumers will demand greater transparency about how and why ingredients deliver value. Brands will need to connect hero ingredients with proven outcomes, credible sourcing practices and culturally relevant stories that resonate across global markets.
Building the Partnerships of the Future
Future success will depend on the partnerships and capabilities brands establish today. From AI platforms and smart appliance ecosystems to resilient ingredient supply chains and specialist service providers, collaboration will become critical to maintaining relevance and driving growth.
“The future of household care will not be defined by better products alone. It will be defined by the systems that decide what homes need, when they need it and which solutions are trusted to deliver.” – Jamie Rosenberg
