Executive summary

DPP market growing to supply both economy and luxury products

In 2008, the domestic paper products market in Kazakhstan continued to grow. Despite the credit crunch, luxury domestic paper products have entered the market and some have enjoyed significant volume sales. Due to the credit crunch, however, economy domestic paper products began to enjoy increased consumer attention towards the end of the year. This is typical for Kazakhstan, as there is a large discrepancy in income between the wealthy and poor segments of the population, as well as between the rural and urban populations.

Economic turmoil affecting AFH sales of DPP

Economic turmoil in Kazakhstan began earlier than in other parts of the world, as the real estate industry, which employed and benefited a large number of people, began to collapse in early 2008. Towards the end of 2008, the credit crunch administered additional blows to the weakening Kazakh economy. This led to a number of company bankruptcies and job losses. As a result, AFH sales of paper products, especially toilet paper, kitchen towels, and napkins, have either gone down or grown at lower rates than in previous years.

Competing on “affordability” and “comfort”

While Kazakhis use a variety of domestic paper products, choice of a particular product often rests on consumer preference for either “affordability” or “comfort”. When “affordability” is of importance, consumers buy cheap paper products that are of basic necessity and are usually local or Russian in origin; when “comfort” or “style” is of importance, DPP from Western Europe, especially from Germany, have a distinct advantage over their local competitors. In 2008, this tendency was especially noticeable in toilet paper and kitchen towels, where some local brands emerged that tried to combine affordable price with comfort.

DPP sales through supermarkets are growing

In recent years, including 2008, Kazakhstan’s large cities, such as Almaty, Astana, Karaganda, Atyrau and Shymkent, have witnessed considerable growth in the number of supermarkets. These are becoming popular places for consumers to buy DPP, among many other products. In Almaty, supermarkets such as “Stolichniy”, “Gros”, “Ramstor” and “SM Market” display a variety of both cheap and expensive DPP. In fact, luxury brands can hardly be found anywhere else.

The future of the DPP market in Kazakhstan depends on the Kazakh tenge

Between 2008-2013, after a shaky start, the DPP market will return to positive growth. However, changes in purchases of luxury vs economy and domestic vs imported products are likely to take place because of the credit crunch and recent devaluation of the Kazakh tenge. The Kazakh tenge fell by close to 20% against the US dollar within one day. Food prices have already gone up. Due to the fact that the Russian rouble was devalued even more than the Kazakh tenge, Kazakhstan, especially its northern region, is likely to witness growth of paper products of Russian origin.
