Brands Balance Premium Push with Demands From Cost-Conscious Consumers
Tissue and hygiene in Canada maintained low value growth in 2025, as consumers selectively invested in products that enhance everyday wellbeing, despite persistent inflationary pressures and rising living costs. The environment remains attractive for brands able to innovate and differentiate, as premiumisation and sustainability both underpin ongoing expansion—reflected in current value sales and continued growth in demand fuelled by a rising population of 41.6 million. Competitive intensity is shaped by the dominance of established players with national reach, yet new opportunities are emerging through digital channels and evolving consumer priorities, especially among younger and environmentally aware shoppers. Success in this landscape depends on agile channel strategies, strong brand trust, and investment in products that deliver clear benefits around comfort, health, and environmental responsibility.
