We prove that rationally essential manifolds with suitably large fundamental groups do not admit any maps of non‐zero degree from products of closed manifolds of positive dimension. Particular examples include all manifolds of non‐positive sectional curvature of rank one and all irreducible locally symmetric spaces of non‐compact type. For closed manifolds from certain classes, say non‐positively curved ones, or certain surface bundles over surfaces, we show that they do admit maps of non‐zero degree from non‐trivial products if and only if they are virtually diffeomorphic to products.
