Executive summary

Good Value Growth, Modest Volume Growth

Current value sales of disposable paper products in Estonia rose substantially once again in 2008 as they did during the three previous years also. A high rate of domestic inflation coupled with increased manufacturing costs exerted upward pressure on unit prices. Increasing numbers of babies and of the elderly together with strengthening trends regarding convenience and hygiene accounted for moderate growth rates in volume sales. However, since Estonia is entering what is being referred to as something of an economic crisis volume growth rates dropped to being more modest, stagnating or even negative depending on the categories concerned.

Worsening Economy Causes Caution in Consumer Spending

Although Estonians had already developed a great affinity for quality products and the convenience trend was at its height, economic conditions in 2008 forced consumers to be more careful with their spending. As the situation deteriorated and people no longer saw their purchasing power increasing, many had to limit their expenditure to only the most essential purchases and to switch to cheaper products such as private label.

Multinationals Fight over Leadership

Multinational companies invested lavishly in television advertising during 2008 to further push sales of their brands. Moreover, many new products are being launched to complement the available selection. Companies are endeavouring to move ahead and improve their shares by being innovative and offering the best quality products whilst facing limited competition from domestic production and marketing. Private label successfully expanded once more in 2008 as consumers appreciated the lower prices on offer just as the economic situation in Estonia continued to worsen.

Supermarkets/Hypermarkets and Discounters Continue Apace

Supermarkets/hypermarkets continues to expand and is now the dominant distribution channel in Estonia. Likewise, discounters is also increasing in terms of retail value share. Estonians find it increasingly convenient to purchase disposable paper products whilst shopping for groceries. Moreover, the selection of products is generally wide and special offers are not hard to find. In addition, manufacturers tend to use in-store campaigns in order to increase the appeal of their products and so boost sales.

Economic Downturn Influences Growth Rates

Forecast sales increases are rather modest due to the current economic crisis and the fact that consumers are not willing to spend too much but rather are looking for ways to save money. Furthermore, many categories of disposable paper products are no longer dynamic growth areas and so have become more stable, showing slower growth rates. In addition, the overall population is decreasing which consequently reduces the consumer base for disposable paper products.
