Executive summary

Consumers shift towards high-quality products

In 2008, retail disposable paper products grew at a faster rate compared to the review period current value CAGR. This tendency stems from the changes in buying habits of consumers who shifted towards higher-quality, premium products at the expense of lower quality, economy brands. The attempt to satisfy more demanding consumers’ needs is visible in the initiatives of industry players to raise the quality standards of their offerings. Retail distribution networks are also developing higher-quality private label disposable paper products.

Convenience and indulgence demands boost sales

Polish consumers have been changing their habits in relation to disposable paper product consumption. Kitchen towels which facilitate household cleaning chores and ensure high hygiene standards won the acceptance of consumers. Soft, multi-ply toilet paper offered everyday luxury, driving out grey, recycled toiled paper. Commodities targeted at women, such as personal wipes, ultra-thin towels, pantyliners and cotton pads, registered strong development in terms of new product launches. Manufacturers which educate consumers about the properties and uses of branded products played a significant role in this trend.

Multinationals lead disposable paper products

In Poland, disposable paper products is dominated by multinational companies. Three of the four leading positions are held by Procter & Gamble Polska Sp zoo, Kimberly-Clark Poland Sp zoo and Metsä Tissue SA. The only domestic company competing with the leading multinationals is Torunskie Zaklady Materialow Opatrunkowych SA (TZMO), which leads in sanitary protection and incontinence products. Nonetheless, the importance of Harper Hygienics SA, another domestic player and the leading company in cotton wool/buds/pads, is growing in Poland.

Consumers favour large retail outlets

More and more Polish consumers are visiting supermarkets/hypermarkets to purchase disposable paper products. The leading position of this large retail format is due to the offer of a wide range of products, frequently applied price promotions and on-stop shopping opportunities. At the same time, the development of discounters continued in 2008, thanks to the enlargement of chains belonging to Jeronimo Martins Dystrybucja SA and Lidl Polska Sp zoo. The discounter format is increasing in popularity due to low prices and convenient locations, often close to residential districts.

Good prospects for development

The consumption of disposable paper products is expected to develop positively due to the changing habits and needs of consumers. A high proportion of consumers have yet to begin using kitchen towels, disposable pants or wipes, which creates opportunities for the further development and sales growth of these categories. Demographic changes will significantly influence the growth in sales of disposable paper products. Euromonitor International predicts an increase in life expectancy birth rates over the forecast period. These factors will boost sales of incontinence products and nappies/diapers/pants.
