Executive summary
Another growth year
The market for disposable paper products saw another growth year in 2005, mostly because of increased frequency of use, such as in nappies, facial cleansing, napkins, boxed facial tissues and pocket handkerchiefs. The main reasons for this increase in consumption was due to improved disposable income, due to less unemployment, more women joining the workforce and salary increases.
Expensive products in demand
During 2005 consumers also opted for more expensive products, such as printed napkins, handkerchiefs with silk fibres and aromatherapy scents, tampons, thinner towels, double-ply toilet paper and facial cleansing wipes. The main reason for choosing these products was increased disposable income, which allowed consumers to choose according to value-added features, instead of just price.
Shares remain relatively static
As a consequence of having local and regional companies with well-reputed brands and wide distribution, global companies were unable to gain significant share of disposable paper products value sales during 2005. A contributory factor was that some sectors, such as sanitary protection, kitchen towels and toilet paper, are relatively mature and therefore innovation played a very limited role.
Independents keep gaining share
Consumers perceive independent food stores to have lower prices and an adequate product offering. Independent food stores are also located in residential neighbourhoods, and are therefore easy to visit on a daily basis. There were also changes in purchasing habits, as consumers preferred to shop for necessities every day, instead of making one large shopping trip per month with some restocking every week. All of this contributed to independents growing at the expense of chained stores, which did not have the same advantages.
A positive forecast, although with a slowdown in the growth rate
Nearly all disposable paper products value sales had fully recovered from the 2002 devaluation by 2005. Future growth, however, will be increasingly difficult as disposable paper products already have high household penetration rates. Furthermore, economists do not expect that Argentina’s economy will continue to grow at 9% per year in the 2005-2010 period, as it has done during the last three years. Government price controls are another factor to be considered in the short term. Manufacturers have already begun to limit industry investment, as they are not able to set prices freely to recoup their costs. Given that most of the players tend to have a local or regional focus due to high distribution costs, it is likely that production capacity could seriously limit the market’s ability to grow.
