Tobacco was the largest of the other FMCG sectors but also worst performing. Hit by falling number of smokers (due to anti-smoking measures and contraband products) Household care achieved 108% value growth from 2002-2007, fuelled by manufacturers attempts to target low-income consumers with specially designed products, small pack sizes and low prices. The OTC market remains strictly regulated and continues to be hindered by the availability of under-the-counter/illegal medicines. Herbal products performed particularly well, due to a trend towards all things natural. Disposable paper products and pet foods achieved respective value growth of 121% and 152% as consumers upgraded from economy to standard and premium products.

Forecast Trends
Discovery of a new oilfield off Brazils coast, plus Brazils development as an alternative energy superpower, may herald a further economic boost Steady gains in real incomes and employment, lower inflation and rapid growth in household credit will contribute to economic growth However, economic reforms are necessary before Brazil can achieve sustainable, longterm growth. Brazils large population of young, increasingly well-off consumers, more working women and more single and dual households favour future growth Manufacturers will continue to invest heavily at both ends of the price spectrum: expensive niche products for the elite as well as low-end generics for low-income consumers. The next six years will see a shift towards the historically poor regions of north and northeast Brazil, but problems of infrastructure will need to be overcome.
