Executive summary

Disposable paper products increases market value during 2006

The increase in sales of disposable paper products caused a growth in its market value during 2006. New product introductions, the growth in terms of importance of older people and the emergence of specialised products added dynamism to disposable paper products retailing that has translated into an increase in sales. Although new products are leveraging growth, traditional products maintain their shares due to an increase in promotional activities both inside and outside the point of sale.

Paper tableware shows the fastest growth in 2006

As economic conditions in Colombia improved over the review period, people were able to acquire products they had not typically used. Colombians are accustomed to using cloth tableware, but it required washing after use. Paper tableware allows consumers the opportunity to acquire a more decorative product, compared to traditional tableware, which does not require washing. Retail sales of paper tableware and other specialised products benefited greatly from the country’s economic recovery.

Familia Sancela del Pacífico remains the retail sales leader

Familia Sancela del Pacífico led in retail value sales of disposable paper products during the review period. The company consolidated its lead over all competitors through constant innovation, market research, and intensive advertising. While leading sales with its standard versions of paper tableware, toilet paper, and kitchen towels, as well as other products, the company continued to improve its products by adding fragrances and functional properties. In addition, these products were offered in a variety of package sizes and formats to meet the needs of consumers from all income levels. Consumer knowledge remains a key element to the company’s success.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets is the most important distribution channel

Although the number of small local stores expanded since 2001, the supermarkets/hypermarkets channel developed an especially appealing retail environment for disposable paper products. Abundant shelf space for these items, point-of-sale promotions, and product giveaways gave manufacturers a great deal of room to market their products to consumers who are not clear on what to buy. In addition, private label products, which proved less expensive alternatives to the traditional branded products, are more commonly found in this distribution channel.

Increasing population of single workers drives innovation and sales

The Colombian workforce is increasingly comprised of younger workers, who have fewer responsibilities, fewer expenses, and more money to spend. Many of these young workers are focusing on their careers instead of starting families, giving them a higher disposable income since they have few or no dependants. Manufacturers are designing specialised disposable paper products for these consumers, especially men who live alone and need time-saving solutions for daily tasks. For example, television ads targeting single young men who live alone feature reusable products designed for packing food and to help in cleaning the kitchen.
