Bracell Expands Affordable Tissue Lines to Capture Price-Sensitive Shoppers
In 2025, tissue and hygiene in Brazil achieved current value growth of 8%, yet growth moderated compared to the previous few years, with the Brazilian landscape shifting more rapidly toward affordability and functional value. This environment remains highly attractive for brands that can successfully deliver cost-efficient, essential products, as Brazilian consumers demonstrate persistent price sensitivity, supporting strong momentum for private label, economy lines, and bulk formats. Robust underlying growth drivers include a rapidly ageing population, and public initiatives that are accelerating uptake of retail adult incontinence products. Competitive dynamics intensified following Softys’ acquisition of Ontex’s Brazilian operations, and innovation increasingly centres on convenience, wellness, and demonstrable functional benefits, as seen with launches such as Always Pocket Flexfoam and Dermacyd Neutralize intimate wipes. Companies seeking sustained growth must balance cost management and channel agility, as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and pharmacies remain critical points of sale, while retail e-commerce is expanding its relevance for bulk and premium purchases. Winning strategies in Brazil require an unwavering focus on value for money, functional claims, and the ability to adapt quickly to demographic and regulatory shifts.
