Tissue and Hygiene in Egypt

Egypt’s tissue and hygiene market saw remarkable growth in current value terms in 2024, continuing the trend from the previous year. However, this increase was driven by inflation rather than a genuine rise in demand. Although the Egyptian pound has stabilised against the US dollar, high unit prices continue to strain household budgets, limiting consumer purchasing power. Unemployment has risen sharply, while government subsidy cuts have led to steep price hikes for essential goods and services.
