Future of Homecare Cleaning Products Europe 2024
ACI was proud to successfully launch its latest series, Future of Homecare Cleaning Products Europe 2024, which provided a much-needed boost to the landscape of the homecare cleaning products industry. On the 19th & 20th June in London, the conference brought together senior-level executives from detergent manufacturers, surfactant and other raw material suppliers, chemical packaging providers, chemical regulatory bodies and associations, leading academics and consultants in the field.
The conference’s central theme revolved around innovation, sustainability, and consumer-centric approaches. As the global demand for effective yet environmentally friendly cleaning solutions continues to surge, this event successfully provided a platform for thought leaders to discuss and shape the future of the industry.
One of the key focal points of the conference was innovation. Attendees explored cutting-edge technologies and novel product formulations that are revolutionising the way we clean our homes. From smart cleaning appliances to advanced chemical formulations, the conference also delved into the latest developments that promise to enhance efficiency and convenience in home cleaning.
Sustainability was of course another critical theme at the forefront of the conference. With an increasing emphasis on eco-friendly and socially responsible practices, the event featured discussions on sustainable sourcing, green packaging, and biodegradable cleaning agents. Industry leaders including Unilever, Sasol, Exxonmobil and Cepsa shared their insights on how to reduce the environmental footprint of homecare cleaning products while meeting consumer expectations.
Consumer preferences are constantly evolving, and understanding these changes is vital for industry success. The Future of Homecare Cleaning Products Europe 2024 illustrated a comprehensive view of consumer trends and demands in the homecare sector. Attendees came away with valuable insights into the changing dynamics of consumer behaviour and how to adapt their product offerings accordingly.
We are delighted to build on this and continue with the next edition in 2025 and accelerate the future of home cleaning products and inspire a new era of cleaner, greener, and more efficient solutions.
