Executive summary

Strong and stable development

Disposable paper products in Belarus maintained its strong and stable development in 2008. Value growth was slightly higher than in 2007, driven by greater awareness of personal hygiene, new product development and higher disposable incomes. Toilet paper, wipes and paper tableware posted the most dynamic value growth rates in 2008. By contrast, value growth of sanitary protection showed signs of slowing down.

Key factors drive value growth

Growth of disposable paper products in Belarus was underpinned by the several factors in 2008. The most important were higher disposable incomes, greater awareness of personal hygiene, growing appreciation of good hygiene standards and wider availability of products in retail outlets, helped by new product development and advertising campaigns. Competition intensified, with new companies entering wipes and a new product launch in nappies/diapers/pants, which was previously dominated by only three international brands. The majority of new product launches were from Russian companies and were positioned at the lower end of the standard price segment. New improved versions of existing brands from leading multinationals also appeared at the end of the review period.

Multinationals retain their leading positions

Multinationals retained their leading positions across all disposable paper products categories in 2008, benefiting from stronger financial backing for their new product development and brand extension, and more intensive advertising and promotion. A few domestic companies continued to operate, focusing on specific categories in order to remain competitive. Domestic companies competed only in the economy price segment, with “budget-oriented brands”. Despite bureaucratic obstacles and market forces, leading international brands and companies have a strong presence in disposable paper products in Belarus. Growing brand awareness, bigger advertising budgets and higher demand for their products has enabled international brands to secure a strong presence and influence, with substantial value shares and well-developed relationships with distributors and retailers.

Distribution becomes more sophisticated

Distribution of disposable paper products in Belarus continued shifting to more modern retail outlets in 2008. The development of large supermarkets/hypermarkets, offering convenient locations, free parking, competitive price policies and discounting, led to a greater emphasis on value for money. Other non-grocery retailers lost value shares during the review period but remained the leading distribution channel. Supermarkets/hypermarkets gained value shares, thanks to the growing number of outlets and increased shelf space for disposable paper products. In general, state-owned and other large department stores maintained their value shares and positions in 2008. Internet retailing became increasingly popular, particularly for nappies/diapers/pants, incontinence products, sanitary protection and wipes. Health and beauty retailers, such as chemists/pharmacies, do not play a significant role in the distribution of disposable paper products in Belarus.

Rising disposable incomes will drive value growth over the forecast period

Rising disposable incomes will drive value growth and more sophisticated demand for disposable paper products over the forecast period. The fact that per capita consumption of disposable paper products is low in Belarus compared to Western European countries offers good growth potential. Multinationals, with production facilities in neighbouring Russia, Ukraine and Poland, will maintain their dominance. Imports of disposable paper products to Belarus will grow over the forecast period. Leading international companies are very unlikely to begin domestic production in Belarus, as the local market is heavy regulated and has high barriers for new entrants.
