Executive summary
Dynamic growth in volume and value terms over the review period
Disposable paper products saw dynamic growth in both volume and value terms over the review period, driven by the expansion of important categories such as sanitary protection and nappies/diapers/pants. Many new products were launched and most categories benefited from rising disposable incomes amongst the population, alongside increased consumer demand for higher quality and convenience.
Falling purchasing power and demographic shifts influence slowdown
In 2008 most of the disposable paper products categories maintained positive but slower volume growth, while several saw value sales decline in constant value terms. Volume growth was impeded by demographic factors such as a falling birth rate and an ageing female population. Falling purchasing power, caused by dramatic food price increases, alongside intensified price competition caused a shift to lower-priced products and an erosion of unit price in a number of categories. Overall sales growth of disposable paper products was driven by the strong performance of toilet paper, where quality became more important in purchasing decisions following the introduction of improved quality products over the review period, which raised customer expectations for the product.
Multinational and regional companies dominate sales
In 2008 several product categories saw increasing fragmentation, due to the penetration of smaller regional and local low-end companies which often only cover a limited region of the country but attract price-sensitive customers. Private label products also strengthened their presence in disposable paper products in 2008. Despite these trends, disposable paper products overall saw established players strengthen their leading positions, dominating in major categories where the quality/price ratio is the basis for the purchasing decision. International companies The Procter & Gamble Co and Mega Disposables SA maintained and strengthened their leading positions due to their dominance in the largest categories of sanitary protection and nappies/diapers/pants.
Discounters increase their share of distribution
Chained supermarkets/hypermarkets represent the leading retail distribution channel, accounting for half of disposable paper product sales in 2008. Health and beauty retailers also represent an important channel, particularly in the case of nappies/diapers/pants, incontinence products and sanitary protection, offering a better range of prices and products in these categories. In general, prices are lower in these outlets compared with supermarkets/hypermarkets and in many areas (often rural) there are no chained stores, but there are chemists/pharmacies. The only discounter present in Macedonia, Kam doo, increased its share by two percentage points and accounted for 19% of total value sales chain enjoys strong national coverage and offers the same high-quality brands of disposable paper products as other, better stocked stores at the lowest possible price and is thus gaining share amongst price-sensitive consumers.
Stagnant forecast development
Demographic factors such as the falling birth rate and ageing population will influence the development of disposable paper products sales. The market overall is expected to see stable value growth but at a slower pace compared to the review period, while volume sales will stagnate in most of the sectors and decline in the most important sectors of sanitary protection and nappies/diapers/pants. Price sensitivity will impact more mature sectors, where local brands and private label products may strengthen their positions. Growth will come mostly from stable price increases as well as the positive development of the toilet paper category, which accounts above 15% of overall disposable paper products sales and is foreseen to see positive volume and constant value growth.
