Premiumisation Remains a Key Trend as Consumers Prioritise Comfort
Despite a recovery in tissue and hygiene demand in Argentina during 2025, value growth was largely propelled by inflation, while real improvements in consumption were concentrated among higher-income groups, underscoring continued economic pressure on lower-income households. The combination of persistent inflation at 40% and only marginal gains in essential goods highlights that growth in retail value, which reached ARS4 trillion in 2025, is masking ongoing challenges in real purchasing power. The environment remains attractive for players able to balance cost-effectiveness with meaningful innovation, as consumers display willingness to pay for premium features that deliver genuine benefits—particularly in terms of skin care, comfort, and convenience—while simultaneously demanding affordability and value, as evidenced by the continued strength of private label in leading retail channels. To succeed, brands must prioritise launches that directly address evolving wellness, skin sensitivity, and performance needs, while also leveraging channel strategies that maximise exposure in both hypermarkets and e-commerce, given shifting shopper preferences and the steady rise of digital platforms. Sustained product development in high-value areas, such as menstrual care and adult incontinence, is essential to defend share and capture incremental growth in a landscape shaped by demographic change and shifting retail dynamics.
