Executive summary
Stable Consumer Demand Causes Positive Performance Despite High Prices
Disposable paper products in Uzbekistan saw strong growth in terms of current value sales during 2008. Although there were various factors contributing to this, the primary reason behind the positive growth was significant price rises during the year. Nevertheless, this increase in inflation did not prevent positive growth occurring within overall volume sales also. This was largely a result of stable consumer demand for traditional items as well as modern attitudes to newly presented products. With the exception of toilet paper, all categories of disposable paper products witnessed increases in volume sales that were further accelerated by general factors in Uzbekistan including the growing population, rising disposable incomes and manufacturer incentives such as wider distribution coverage and new product launches.
Exchange Rate Deteriorates Significantly, Causing Imports to Rise in Price
One impact of the global economic slowdown has been a decline in demand for the majority of the country’s exports, a factor which led in 2008 to a drastic revision of the country’s exchange rate. The rate against the US dollar was particularly affected, which in turn caused a considerable rise in the cost of imported products. In light of recent developments within domestic production, which up until 2008 had achieved significantly improved quality as well as much more affordable prices, this increase in import costs has further tipped the balance against foreign products in Uzbekistan.
Influence of Russian TV Advertising Diminishes
During the review period many multinational companies present in Uzbekistan conducted their marketing campaigns primarily via Russian TV channels. Since many urban households have cable television (which broadcasts the principal Russian channels) rather than satellite dishes, advertising was much more attractive and applicable via this medium. Only the largest and most active manufacturers such as The Procter & Gamble Co invested in marketing campaigns directly within Uzbekistan. However, from late 2007 onwards cable TV operators began replacing commercial blocks with either local advertisements or, if these were not available, with miniature videos about nature. This development had an adverse effect on the marketing environment in Uzbekistan, and many products lost out in terms of promotional support.
Domestic Manufacturers Widen their Distribution Coverage
Domestic companies in Uzbekistan have never been very active in terms of marketing activities, preferring always to invest in wider distribution coverage. Given that the quality of domestically manufactured products improved significantly over the review period, companies now see distribution as the principal competitive tool. Moreover, the fact that prices have remained more or less unchanged further increases the importance of distribution reach.
Government Measures Expected in Support of Domestic Production
As certain raw materials utilised in domestic manufacturing continue to be imported, production costs for local companies are still under the influence of currency fluctuations. Further deterioration of the exchange rate may cause a significant rise in the price of domestic products. As an anti-crisis measure the Government of Uzbekistan is exempting from all customs payments those raw materials that are necessary for domestic production and imported by local manufacturers; this measure is intended as compensation for the loss of production volume due to the unfavourable exchange rate. On the other hand, measures have also been introduced to assist the manufacture of import substitutes via new lines of credit and commercial loans. These initiatives have been introduced within Uzbekistan to help domestic producers mitigate the unfavourable consequences of the prevailing global economic slowdown, and represent the fundamental reasons behind the positive forecasts for domestic production.
