Private Label and Multipacks Drive Tissue Gains
Tissue and hygiene in Saudi Arabia demonstrated healthy growth in 2025, with retail sales rising by 6% to SAR5.9 billion, outpacing inflation and underlining the resilience of this space compared to wider regional patterns. The combination of robust economic growth, a growing population—now exceeding 36 million—and a large base of young and family households has intensified demand, positioning tissue and hygiene as a highly attractive environment for both value and premium innovation. With the market forecast to achieve a 6% CAGR to SAR7.9 billion by 2030, competition is intensifying, fuelled by the rapid uptake of bulk formats, the expansion of private label, and the digital transformation of retail through quick-commerce and e-commerce. Companies seeking to succeed must navigate the dual imperatives of affordability and convenience, differentiate through skin-health and comfort-led product development, and invest in digital engagement and rapid fulfilment to remain competitive as consumer expectations shift rapidly.
