Retail Tissue in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Mar 2019PROSPECTS
Segmentation set to remain important for the category
Retail tissue has surprisingly low penetration in Guatemala, especially among less affluent consumer segments. There remain substantial numbers of consumers who struggle to afford basic retail tissue products such as toilet paper and napkins, let alone facial tissues and kitchen towels.
Toilet paper set to remain dominant
Toilet paper is the largest retail tissue category and it is the only type of tissue product that is considered a basic necessity by all consumers. In addition, the availability of basic variants of toilet paper at low unit prices means that low-income consumers often use it as a substitute for other types of retail tissue such as napkins and facial tissues.
Paper tableware and facial tissues unlikely to see much innovation
Napkins are very affordable in Guatemala and this has enabled the category to register strong penetration. The low average unit price of napkins also means that they are frequently used as substitutes for other retail tissue products such as paper towels and facial tissues.
Paper towels
Paper towels remains the smallest retail tissue category, mainly because the use of washable fabric cloths and tea towels remains very common in Guatemala. Consumers prefer cloth towels because they last longer and are much more affordable over the long term.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Kimberly-Clark Guatemala remains the category leader
Kimberly-Clark Guatemala leads sales in all retail tissue categories. The company offers the brand Scott in toilet paper, napkins and paper towels and Kleenex in facial tissues.
Marketing campaigns remain a feature of the category
The leading companies in retail tissue regularly participate in marketing campaigns and new product launches. In 2018, Papelera Internacional SA launched a mass media advertising campaign for its Rosal Plus brand, which is present in all retail tissue categories.
