New Market Research Report: Retail Tissue in Finland

Retail tissue sales in Finland were affected by the economic downturn in two ways. Firstly, there was more demand for economy products. This was seen especially in the sales of the largest category, toilet paper, but also in other categories. On the other hand Finns spent more time at home. They were more likely to invite friends over for dinner rather than eat out. This increased amount of time spent at home had a positive impact on sales of decorative products with trendy designs. Design-positioned products with a slightly higher unit prices were especially launched in paper tableware and kitchen towels. Several manufacturers and private label players cooperated with well-known or emerging Finnish designers to compete for sales.

Competitive Landscape

SCA Hygiene Products Oy Ab leads retail tissue in Finland, accounting for 35% of value sales in 2014. The company’s leading brand, Lotus, has a strong position in tissues, toilet paper and kitchen towel. The product portfolio of Lotus was simplified over the review period. In 2014 Lotus Emilia kitchen towel design competition "empty paper challenge" was very well received and boosted kitchen towel sales. Toilet paper and tissues were less dynamic, as in these categories consumers were seeking economy products.

Industry Prospects

Retail tissue is predicted to grow by a 1% CAGR in total constant value terms over the forecast period. A slowly recovering economy and healthier demand for more premium products will help drive sales. Different areas of the category have different growth prospects: toilet paper growth will be sluggish, while sales of kitchen towel, tissues and paper tableware are expected to see better constant value growth.
