Executive summary
Disposable Paper Products Maintain Growth in 2008
In 2008, the disposable paper products market in Costa Rica maintained similar growth to that of the review period. Lack of innovation was the main reason, as there was little in the way of new product launches. Also, as consumers felt the pinch from rising food and energy prices, the growth of some non-essential items in disposable paper products was restricted.
Sophisticated Advanced Products Impact DPP in 2008
Consumers increasingly demanded sophisticated and advanced products in 2008. In toilet paper, they progressively sought two-ply products and in kitchen towels increased absorption and towels for specific uses were required. In diapers, sanitary protection and incontinence products, consumers demanded ultra-comfortable, ultra-thin and ultra-absorbent qualities.
Global Players Comprise Force to Be Reckoned With
Global players in Costa Rican disposable paper products proved to be a highly competitive force, leaving little room for local players to compete. Kimberly-Clark Corp and SCA Consumidor México & Centroamérica were the leading companies: they set the tone for advertising and innovation.
Supermarkets/Hypermarkets Channel of Choice
Supermarkets/hypermarkets was the chief distribution channel. In 2008, it represented the majority of sales of disposable paper products. Supermarkets/hypermarkets offered the convenience factor, along with the highest number of SKUs that also offered variety.
Forecast Looks Promising
The forecast period looks promising as the growth is projected to continue. As 2008 was a relatively stagnant year, companies will likely come out with a bang in the next few years, with new products to help expand value-added sales while introducing more affordable formats to also increase volume sales and market penetration rates throughout Costa Rica.
