Executive summary

Disposable paper products register double-digit growth in 2008

Sales of disposable paper products experienced double-digit value growth in 2008, underpinned by higher disposable incomes, particularly among the C and D socio-economic groups. Toilet paper and sanitary protection, which together accounted for 54% of overall retail disposable paper products value sales in 2008, were impacted positively as low- and middle-income consumers traded up from single-ply to double-ply toilet papers and women increased their purchases of ultra-thin towels and pantyliners. Nappies/diapers/pants saw modest growth in volume terms compared to the review period as a whole, but the category continues to play an important role, being the second largest within disposable paper products.

Melhoramentos Papéis Ltda is for sale

In 2008, Companhia Melhoramentos announced plans to divest its activities in paper products by selling Melhoramentos Papéis Ltda, which is ranked sixth in disposable paper products in Brazil. This announcement attracted the interest of both multinational and domestic companies, including Procter & Gamble do Brasil SA, Kimberly-Clark Brasil Indústria e Comércio de Produtos de Higiene Ltda and Santher - Fábrica de Papel Santa Terezinha SA. In April 2009, Melhoramentos Papéis was finally acquired by Compañia Manufacturera de Papeles y Cartones (CMPC), from Chile

Largest manufacturers invest in premium products

Leading manufacturers, including Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble and Santher, have been investing in the development of premium products in response to stiff competition from regional manufacturers’ adoption of low price strategies which are forcing the largest companies to reduce margins in order to retain share. Kimberly-Clark focused on value-added products with Turma da Mônica Soft Touch in nappies/diapers/pants and Neve in luxury toilet paper. Procter & Gamble adopted a similar strategy with Pampers in nappies/diapers/pants and Santher in toilet paper with Personal VIP.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets increase sales of disposable paper products

After health and beauty retailers showed significant growth over the review period, supermarkets/hypermarkets witnessed strong growth between 2004 and 2007. Large supermarkets/hypermarkets chains invested in their baby, personal care and hygiene sections, increasing promotional activity and widening the range of brands available, from economy to premium products. These moves contributed to the positive performance of this retailing channel.

Robust economic environment guarantees investment in Brazil

Although an economic slowdown and higher unemployment rates are anticipated over the forecast period, Euromonitor International estimates that disposable paper products will experience modest growth in 2009 and 2010. The largest manufacturers will continue to invest in new plants and production capacity, aiming to improve their performances in 2010 and beyond as the Brazilian government is shown to be prepared to protect the economy and take important measures to guarantee social and economic stability during the financial crisis.
