Measured range

5× to 8×

In every market Sivix measured, premium cycled hard while own-label stayed relatively steady.

Annual saving

€20–€50

Buying only on promo week can cut the yearly cost.

A household that buys a cycling premium detergent on promotion instead of at regular price can save around this much per year.

Why?

01

Hi-lo pricing

Premium brands keep a high list price, then run frequent promotions below it.

02

Promotion headlines

Retailers get a large discount claim for weekly flyers while brands protect premium positioning.

03

Everyday low pricing

Own-label has less margin room and no brand anchor for large theatrical discounts.

The data doesn't lie.
