Kenyaโs home care market is poised for steady, albeit moderate, expansion, with value expected to grow from USD 613.0 million in 2025 to USD 710.9 million by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 3.01%. This trajectory is supported by a confluence of structural drivers, including accelerating urbanisation, heightened hygiene awareness, and the ongoing development of modern residential and commercial infrastructure across urban centres such as Nairobi and Mombasa.
As consumers increasingly prioritise cleanliness in their daily routines, demand for surface care, air care, and laundry products continues to strengthen. Surface care, in particular, stands out as a growth category, propelled by its alignment with evolving hygiene standards and the rising appeal of multi-functional formats that deliver both convenience and efficacy. This shift is especially pronounced in urban households, where time constraints and spatial efficiency are shaping product preferences.
The expansion of Kenyaโs middle class is gradually fostering a more brand-aware and quality-conscious consumer base, though affordability remains a critical consideration across most segments. Brands that can strike a balance between performance and value are likely to gain competitive traction, particularly as price sensitivity remains elevated in the wake of macroeconomic volatility and persistent income inequality.
Looking ahead, the sector’s growth will likely be further supported by increased penetration of modern retail channels and enhanced distribution capabilities, which are helping extend the availability of branded and specialised home care products beyond core urban areas. While growth rates may remain modest in volume terms, the shift toward higher-margin, performance-driven solutions indicates an incremental move toward category sophistication, setting the stage for longer-term value creation in the Kenyan home care landscape.
