Tissue and Hygiene in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Mar 2018Raw material shortages approach their highest levels
Faced with a fall in international oil prices, the Venezuelan government limited the allocation of foreign exchange for imports, with both domestic producers and importers unable to meet consumer demand. The volume decline of tissue and hygiene was greater in 2017 than the review period annual average.
New companies gain ground due to supply failures of big players
Shortages in packaging material supplies such as plastic, inks, adhesives and carton boxes resulting from limited and erratic allocation of foreign exchange has seen domestic toilet paper production decline since 2014. Given that toilet paper is a basic, essential product for Venezuelans, the government and many small companies had to bring imported brands into the market from countries such as China (37% of total imports in tonnes), the US (35%) and Colombia (27%) in 2017.
Local manufacturers dominate tissue and hygiene in an environment of scarcity
Due to the hostile scenario, there is no incentive for new manufacturers to enter or plants to expand, so traditional domestic companies such as Papeles Venezolanos PAVECA, Manufacturas de Papel MANPA and Sanifarma Pañalex dominate tissue and hygiene, whilst most multinational companies have either halted operations or reduced them to a minimum due to the outstanding debts the Venezuelan government is carrying. Financial constraints complicate access to lines of credit and delay payments to suppliers of key ingredients, besides preventing domestic subsidiaries from returning profits to headquarters, thus damaging global financial results.
Drugstores/parapharmacies lead retail distribution
The scarcity of tissue and hygiene products prompted companies to consider new distribution channels, as there was not sufficient inventory to sell to all channels. Therefore, the main health and beauty specialist retailers are negotiating with manufacturers and importers to acquire a larger share of supply to be distributed in their outlets nationwide in order to maintain fully stocked shelves.
Tissue and hygiene market expected to continue to shrink
The downward trend that started in the review period in the majority of home care product categories is projected to continue over the forecast period. However, tissue and hygiene is expected to record a less negative volume CAGR from over the forecast period than that of the review period as consumers and suppliers strive to find a solution in the continuing fight within a hostile environment.
