Retailers Aim to Balance Price with Comfort and Quality
Tissue and hygiene in Mexico in 2025 demonstrated resilience and competitiveness, outperforming many regional peers, despite 4% inflation and subdued GDP growth of 0.6%. The market environment remains attractive due to robust demand for both value and premium solutions, a rising population of older adults, and dynamic retail innovation led by discounters and e-commerce. Shoppers are increasingly seeking affordable solutions, reflected in the expansion of private label and bulk formats. Value growth is being fuelled by premiumisation with a focus on comfort and advanced features across wipes, menstrual care, and adult incontinence. Successful strategies for brands and retailers must focus on reinforcing price competitiveness, enhancing product portfolios to address demographic shifts, and leveraging omnichannel capabilities. This is particularly important as discounters such as Tiendas 3B and Bodega Aurrera accelerate store rollouts and online platforms capture digitally engaged consumers. Continued innovation in product design, packaging, and convenience, combined with a commitment to quality and rapid access, is critical to retaining shopper loyalty and defending share as competition intensifies.
