P&G's Gel Ball 3D is an upgraded version of its Gel Ball first launched in Japan in 2014. The new version features a unique three compartment structure to contain active ingredients separately for maximum cleaning. The improved functionality has received a positive response, showcasing the importance of functionality in laundry product innovation. It also strongly demonstrates that a Western-origin concept can work in new markets.
Scope
– The new product features a “3D” structure in which the capsule has three separate compartments for maximum cleaning effect. It has made a significant impact, as 10 million boxes of Gel Ball 3D products (under both the Ariel and Bold brands) were sold during the first week of the release.
– Gel Ball 3D claims multiple improvements and benefits, such as working on 100 types of dirt and deep cleaning, appealing to functional-driven consumers in Japan.
– The case study finds that consumers are functional-driven in household care products, which is a global trend, and offering multifunctionality benefits will appeal to consumers at the global scale.
