GCC Tissue and Hygiene Paper Market – Overview
Tissue paper is a form of lightweight paper that is often composed of recycled paper pulp and can be used for hygiene purposes. It is created from paper pulp (wood fiber) or recycled paper materials, such as cardboard, newspapers, or some types of juice cartons, and is used in common products like toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. Hygienic tissue paper is often used as facial tissue (paper handkerchiefs), napkins, bathroom tissue, and household towels. Tissue papers are more sanitary than fabric handkerchiefs and towels since they are disposable and discarded after use.

The high rate of migration from other nations in GCC countries influences the demand for tissue and hygiene paper in this market as well.
