Softcare Expands Access to Affordable Hygiene as Budgets Tighten
Tissue and hygiene in Cameroon delivered mid-single-digit value growth in 2025, but this was slightly below the acceleration seen in some regional counterparts where premiumisation is more pronounced. The Cameroonian landscape stands out for its persistent focus on affordability and essential consumption, driven by a young and urbanising population, rising access to sanitation, and ongoing cost-of-living constraints. Market attractiveness remains high, underpinned by a large and expanding consumer base, robust projected growth through 2030, and the increasing role of local manufacturers in ensuring availability and cost stability amid import volatility. Success in this environment requires a dual strategy: brands must prioritise accessible pricing and broad numeric distribution, while also building consumer trust through credible claims on skin safety and product quality, particularly as clean wellness and ingredient transparency become decisive factors in shopper loyalty and regulatory compliance.
