Finland’s
laundry aisle
spans 5×.
Across 3,073 shelf-price records, median laundry-liquid prices run from €2.73/L to €13.80/L. The gap comes from a very low discount floor.

The aisle is wide
because the bottom is low.
Shelf range
€2.73/L → €13.80/L
The standout is Lidl’s Wau!, far below a mid-market cluster around €5–€9/L.
Annual cost gap
per year for a household washing twice a week
About 10 litres a year means roughly €27 on Wau! versus €85 on Omo.
Why?
Private-label positioning
K-Ryhmä and S-Ryhmä have leaned more reliable and Finnish-made than ultra-cheap.
No deep-discount line
Neither major chain runs a deep-discount laundry-gel line at the very bottom of the aisle.
Lidl fills the gap
Wau! sets a much lower price floor than shoppers usually see in Prisma or K-Citymarket.
