Abstract
The Hilali conjecture claims that a simply connected rationally elliptic space $X$ satisfies the inequality $\dim (\pi_*(X)\otimes \mathbb{Q} ) \leqq \dim H_*(X;\mathbb{Q} )$. In this paper we show that for any such space $X$ there exists a positive integer $n_0$ such that for any $n \geqq n_0$ the strict inequality $\dim (\pi_*(X^n)\otimes \mathbb{Q} ) \lt \dim H_*(X^n; \mathbb{Q} )$ holds, where $X^{n}$ is the product of $n$ copies of $X$.
