Executive summary

Moderate growth of disposable paper products

Growth of disposable paper products in 2008 was slightly lower than the growth achieved in the previous year and was fuelled by high-income consumers in urban areas. Disposable income continued to rise quickly and the demand created by professionals was a main driver to segments such as nappies/diapers/pants, tissues and toilet paper which accounted for the bulk of the sales.

Young urban consumers drive growth

Growing disposable income and brand endorsement fuelled the success of these products especially among the young urban generation who are eager to try novelties. Furthermore, these consumers tend to shop more frequently in modern outlets where niche and innovative products are more likely to be found.

Market is still dominated by a few players

The top two manufacturers of disposable paper products in 2008 were Industries Marocaines Modernes and Brior SA. Global brands like Pampers, Lotus and Always continue to account for the bulk of sales. Second tier companies such as Johnson & Johnson Maroc SA and Sarbec Cosmetics did mainly hold or improve their value-shares compared to 2007. The majority of disposable paper products are imported and local producers still lack the marketing power to gain more visibility.

Modern retailers progress fast

Hypermarkets and supermarkets continued gaining share from independent small grocers and lagged just one point behind in terms of value-share in 2008. Their presence has increased the availability of global brands such as Nana, Carefree and Kotex on the shelves. Hypermarket Marjane dominates the landscape in terms of outlets and discounters Lidl and BIM arrived in the country during 2008 to create more competition and cater for the middle and lower income households who cannot afford to buy from supermarkets so frequently. Moroccan consumers now have more choice and can more easily compare between brands and look for the best deal.

Future growth will be fuelled by product differentiation

Products that target a specific consumer group are likely to generate the highest growth as consumers seek more quality and purpose-built offers. This should mostly affect wipes, sanitary protection and toilet paper where targeted offers will prove successful because they help consumers identify with their favourite products and create brand loyalty. Skin-friendly wipes with functional ingredients such as soothing balm or aloe vera extracts will grow more popular and appeal to quality sensitive consumers. Moreover, better product differentiation will allow manufacturers to enhance quality-based growth which is the best way to raise their profit margin.
