Executive summary

Almost all categories are affected by a significant drop in unit prices

Aside from paper tableware and incontinence products, disposable paper products in Austria suffered a decrease in unit prices sometimes representing a strong prejudice against certain market players. This can be attributed in large part to the increasing package sizes which make for price discounts; a trend relayed further by private label products as well as discounters. Quality was not the greatest consumer preoccupation in 2006.

Incontinence products is the sector with exceptional growth

The disappearance of taboos concerning incontinence, which is now perceived as a medical condition and not a disorder to be ashamed of, has created a massive boost in this sector, which can even be expected to continue for quite some time still. The convenience of these products for the people affected, quickly make them indispensable once these people have accepted that they need them.

Offer of private label products is increasingly threatening to the leaders

A great deal of distributors including Hofer, Rewe, Spar, DM Drogeriemarkt and Schlecker are offering private label products in an increasing number of categories. With a strong focus on unit price in 2006, this represents dangerous market share wars for the leading companies. Consequently, giants like Procter & Gamble or Johnson & Johnson Austria will need to innovate to compete and stay ahead.

The importance of style and design is new for the market

Whether it is in the prints and patterns of their paper tablecloths and napkins, or in the design of the box that holds their tissues, disposable paper products are not expected to be an eye-sore in the Austrian consumer’s living room. This trend towards stylising basic commodities seems to have finally reached the market and manufacturers are reacting accordingly, offering diverse and designed products.

Manufacturers compete in product information and communication

In a number of categories where the disposable paper products have to do with intimate personal hygiene, manufacturers rival each other to best inform their customers in order to secure brand loyalty. This is especially the case in nappies/diapers/pants, sanitary protection and incontinence products for which companies have explanatory websites about their products; the trend is also extending to other subsectors.
