Shoppers buying less of some products after price hikes, says Dove owner Unilever

By Emily Hawkins

Dove maker Unilever has seen consumers buying less of some home care products after price hikes.

The London-listed consumer goods giant admitted price increases had had “some negative impact” on volume, with its home care division declining 3.6 per cent.

However, the company saw underlying volume growth improve across four business groups in the third quarter.

Underlying sales growth reached 10.6 per cent in the quarter, with the brand posting a turnover of 17.8 per cent to €15.8bn, boosted by the sale of global tea business ekaterra last year.
