Hungary May Introduce Margin Restrictions for Stores Selling Household Goods - Cheaper Prices Soon at DM, Rossmann & Müller?
- 7 May 2025 11:38 AM
The government may discuss on Wednesday, and is expected to approve on Thursday, the proposal that would introduce margin restrictions in stores selling household goods from mid-May to early September, the Minister of National Economy announced on Tuesday in a video uploaded to his Facebook page.
He said the measure would apply exclusively to drugstore chains, such as DM, Rossmann and Müller, which account for more than 40 percent of the household products market. The regulation does not apply to mixed retail units where both food and non-food products are sold.
The margin restriction would affect thousands of products in 30 different product categories, such as dishwashing detergents, washing powders, tissue papers, and shower gels, he added.
According to Márton Nagy, these products have so far had margins exceeding 30 percent, and the measure could result in an average price reduction of 16-18 percent.
