Executive summary
Emerging lower- and middle-income demographics drive growth
Growth in disposable paper products continues to be driven by the emerging lower- and middle-income demographics who previously could not afford personal hygiene products such as sanitary protection, incontinence products and disposable nappies/diapers/pants. New products and brands have encouraged new consumers but have not notably altered the brand share of existing products.
Cheap imports fragment the lower end of the industry
The proliferation of imported economy brands continues to make it difficult for small local converters and manufacturers to remain profitable. In highly commoditised product groups, such as toilet paper, this has led to a decline in quality and an increase in unethical business practices. Conversely, the formal market remains highly consolidated with manufacturers concerned by the increase in products that don’t meet the standards set for the industry.
Retailers and pharmacy chains grow to meet demand
Growth of outlets has continued to bring improved economies of scale to newly developed areas over 2006. This has had a large impact on overall growth, as it has allowed new lower and middle class consumers to have access to the formal market, which has consequently grown the brand share of new and existing branded products that are more prominent within the formal retail trade.
Attitudes to personal hygiene products begin to shift
Historic social taboos in the emerging black consumer base surrounding sanitary and incontinence products are declining. Marketing and social education efforts combined with greater availability of these products have improved consumer acceptance and greatly assisted industry growth. Consumers are more aware of the range of need-specific products available to them, and are now better able to afford these solutions.
Dealer-own brands expected to gain prominence
Retail and pharmacy groups are taking advantage of their buying power to bring in exclusive branded imports. These brands compete with private label products from local manufacturers, which face increasing production cost pressures caused by climbing interest rates. With lingering consumer perceptions of private label products as being of inferior quality, these dealer-own brands are priced slightly higher and offer the retailer higher profit margins. With price pressure expected to continue into the forecast period, Euromonitor expects to see dealer-own brands become a lot more prominent during the forecast period.
