PROSPECTS

Sustained volume growth in retail tissue is underpinned by solid demand

Steady economic growth and improved hygiene awareness supported solid consumer demand for retail tissue products in China in 2018. With higher purchasing power, Chinese consumers, especially those from rural areas, were more conscious of hygiene, which increased usage frequency and the volumes consumed.

The average unit price rises in response to higher costs and premiumisation

The rise in the average unit price of retail tissue products in 2018 was mainly attributed to the soaring cost of raw materials and the popularity of unbleached tissue products. As pulp is an essential component of tissue production and China is heavily dependent on imported pulp, when the pulp price started to rocket globally from late 2016, tissue manufacturers had to adjust their pricing strategies to offset the losses in margins; leading players such as Hengan Fujian Holding and Vinda International Holdings to issue price increase notifications to distributors in 2018.

The robust growth of internet retailing impacts the retail landscape

Internet retailing witnessed strong double-digit growth in retail tissue in China in 2018, becoming a significant strategic channel for big and small players alike. As online sales took more and more share of total sales over the year, the leading players responded by launching products that were only supplied to the online channel.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Hengan Fujian Holding consolidates its lead in retail tissue

Hengan Fujian Holding maintained its lead in retail tissue in value terms in 2018, followed by Vinda International Holdings, Gold Hongye Paper Group and C&S Paper. Even though Hengan Fujian Holding already had a substantial distribution network and brand image, it kept capitalising on its operational model “Amoeba” and strengthening its connection with consumers through innovative campaigns and new products.

Pure online players leverage cooperation with Lee & Man’s industrial clusters park

Pressured by strict government policies on environmental protection, small manufacturers that failed to reach national standards were forced to shut down. However, several pure online players, notably Botare, owned by Fujian Duoduoyun, survived, thanks to the rise of social commerce giant Pinduoduo, and managed to achieve exponential growth with the help of Lee & Man Paper’s industrial clusters park in Jiangxi.

The launch of unbleached products to boost profits

As the concept of healthy living is becoming more important to consumers, unbleached products free from whiteners are widely becoming considered a healthier choice, and have been well-received by the market. Consequently, despite their debatable actual cost structure, more manufacturers are adding corresponding product lines to differentiate, and marketing the products as premium to raise their prices.
