Executive summary
Economic growth and new launches drive positive market development
Israel’s disposable paper products market continued to show healthy growth in current value terms in 2007, thanks to positive economic results, increased consumer spending and a wave of new product developments. At the same time, more intense competition drove companies to innovate and seek out new market niches. More intense competition also served to limit the extent to which steep increases in raw material costs pushed average unit prices upwards.
More intense competition limits growth in average unit prices
While most of the disposable paper products sold in Israel are manufactured locally, the vast majority of raw materials used to produce them are imported. Towards the end of the review period, increases in the cost of raw materials such as fuel and pulp, as well as higher labour costs, ensured that manufacturing costs also rose. These rising costs were not fully translated into higher retail prices for disposable paper products, however, due to increasing competition across the market. As a result, manufacturers faced shrinking profit margins. The trend towards a more price oriented market was strengthened in 2007 when a number of Israel’s leading retailers launched private label disposable paper products.
Hogla-Kimberly Ltd remains the clear leader in disposable paper products
Hogla-Kimberly Ltd remained the clear leader in the Israeli disposable paper products market in 2007, claiming first position in six of the nine sectors. The company’s portfolio includes global brands like Huggies, Kotex and Kleenex, as well as leading local brands such as Lilly, Molett, Depend Shikma and Shmurat Teva. 2007 saw the company increase its focus on tissues as part of its long term strategic plan to improve returns from the sector and strengthen the leading position of its Kleenex brand.
Convenience stores and forecourt retailers make distribution gains
Supermarkets/hypermarkets remained the leading retail distribution channel for disposable paper products in 2007. During the review period, however, the convenience stores and forecourt retailers channels both made steady value share gains thanks to busier lifestyles and a trend towards on-the-go shopping (eg picking up items while on the way home from work or making quick visits to neighbourhood grocery retailers for necessities) in Israel. To capitalise on this trend, manufacturers throughout disposable paper products developed smaller on-the-go pack sizes that are better suited to distribution via channels like convenience stores and forecourt retailers. While smaller packs usually carried higher unit prices in these channels, many consumers were willing to pay the extra cost for the convenience they offered.
Forecast period will bring polarisation and more intense competition
Disposable paper products is set to maintain its positive development over the forecast period, with the majority of sectors expected to show healthy growth in volume and constant value terms. However, a general trend towards polarisation will see consumers show an increasing preference for premium and economy products at the expense of mid-priced alternatives. At the same time, more intense competition will limit the extent to which manufacturers can pass rising raw material and production costs on to consumers via unit price increases. Accordingly, downward pressure on profit margins will be sustained. While leading players will respond to this situation by increasing their activities in the premium segment and more dynamic niches, smaller companies may have to start manufacturing private label products for retail chains, or alternatively face being taken over or put out of business altogether.
