Textile washing products: outlook: market performance

Article Abstract:

The European market for textile washing products is projected to achieve from 1997 to 2002 a performance that is generally sluggish and modest at best. Growth opportunities are little as a result of reduced margins and intense competition in terms of pricing. Textile washing products' commodity status are reinforced by trends in distribution and the forces of market competition. The development also results to a projected sluggish growth for the sales of textile washing products between 2002 and 1997.
