Executive summary

Continued growth

As per other review period years, DPP in Portugal experienced positive overall growth in 2005. However, both value and volume sales increased at slower rates than in other review period years.. The country’s economic constraints were reflected in the most important sectors of the market, with modest growth in the review period.

Established brands enjoy continued pre-eminence

In 2005, consumers continued to demonstrate a preference for well-established brands. This made it harder for new brands to establish themselves in the country. As a result, high brand loyalty continued to give older brands such as Renova, Dodot, Scottex, Evax or Johnson’s, a strategic advantage over newer competitors. However, the hard economic situation combined with the opening of an endless number of discounters selling private label, posed a challenge to traditional brands. These kinds of products typically retail at higher prices and are traditionally sold in supermarkets and independent stores. Such competition is expected to place pressure on older brands to lower prices or to sell their products in discounters.

Demographics – both a challenge and an opportunity

Changing demographics will affect the consumption habits of the Portuguese. Falling birth rates will reduce the need for baby products like nappies/diapers and wipes. The increasing number of adult women and elderly people will increase the need for sanitary protection and incontinence products respectively. Although statistics show that this change is occurring, it is too early to say when the market will feel its effects. As far as companies are concerned, this is a gradual change that allows them ample time to prepare. Companies will certainly start to shift their focus from one line of products to the other, therefore diminishing the side effects of demographic changes.

Positive future for incontinence products

Sales of incontinence products are expected to continue to grow at a fairly healthy rate over the forecast period. Due to demographic changes, incontinence products will continue to see interesting developments. Stigmas will have to be overcome, for this sector to reach reasonable growth rates. The ageing population means that incontinence is likely to become a more common – and hence more socially acceptable – problem. People will adopt more comfortable and efficient incontinence products, instead of using sanitary protection (as is often the case). Economical as well as social issues lie behind this. With signs of economic recovery, incontinence products will become cheaper. Other products like toilet paper, tissues, kitchen towels and household care wipes are expected to perform well as the number of households, business and institutional facilities increase in response to economic growth.
