An investment strategy based on Dividend Growth Stocks focuses on companies that produce predictable results and thus are able to consistently raise their dividends. Demand for household and personal care products is generally stable and not affected by changes in the economy or other factors.

That's why companies in the Consumer Defensive sector are sought after as desirable dividend growth investments.
The Consumer Defensive sector has been a steady performer over the years for both yield and growth.

This week week, I screened my dividend growth stocks database for Consumer Defensive companies with a yield above 3.00% and that have increased their dividends for at least 8 consecutive years. The results are presented below:
