Tissue and Hygiene in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Mar 2019Faster retail value growth in tissue and hygiene in 2018
Tissue and hygiene in Taiwan posted faster value growth in 2018 than in 2017. Growth is expected to remain positive, although most categories are seeing a degree of saturation.
Enhanced focuses on both premium and economy products
Given the near-saturated market in Taiwan, manufacturers and distributors have endeavoured to launch more innovative products to drive value growth, rather than volume growth. These efforts have included price segmentation to attract consumers with greater purchasing power, such as introducing premium made-in-Japan nappies/diapers/pants, launching towels integrating organic cotton in various formats, developing new formats and usages in wipes, along with emphasising stronger absorbency and eye-catching packaging designs in retail tissue.
Kimberly-Clark Taiwan continues to lead tissue and hygiene
Kimberly-Clark Taiwan retained its clear leading position in sales of tissue and hygiene in Taiwan in 2018, thanks to its wide-ranging product portfolio spanning almost all categories, its long-established brand profile among Taiwanese consumers, and its aggressive marketing campaigns across all channels. Second-placed United Charm Co appeals to consumers who are loyal to Japanese brands, and has benefited from its consistent investment in adult incontinence, sanitary protection and nappies/diapers/pants, in particular.
Hypermarkets and supermarkets remain key distribution channels
Hypermarkets and supermarkets led distribution of tissue and hygiene in 2018. Taiwanese consumers still prefer these two channels for purchasing daily necessities, owing to their one-stop shopping convenience.
Slowdown in value growth expected over the forecast period
Tissue and hygiene in Taiwan is projected to witness slower value growth over 2018-2013, largely owing to increasing market maturity. A key factor driving growth will continue to be constant new product launches.
