Toilet Paper Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Folded and Rolled), Ply Count (One, Two and Other Ply Counts), Application (Healthcare, Household, Hospitality and Other Applications), End User (Commercial and Residential), Distribution Channel and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Toilet Paper Market is accounted for $31.93 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $50.93 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. Toilet paper (also known as bathroom tissue or toilet tissue) for storage in a dispenser next to a toilet, it is often provided as a long strip of perforated paper wrapped around a paperboard core. Toilet paper has additional applications as it is a commonly found home item. It is referred to as a roll or bundle of toilet paper. Sweat may be absorbed or removed using it. One can clean using toilet paper instead of a paper towel since it is less abrasive. The majority of contemporary toilet paper sold in wealthy countries is made to degrade in septic tanks, unlike certain other toiletries and tissues. The environment quickly decomposes wet toilet paper. There are one to six plies (layers of thickness) on a roll of toilet paper, with more back-to-back plies offering better strength and absorbency.

According to QS Supplies China uses over 4 billion miles of toilet paper each year, more than any other country.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Growing interest in greener products

The use of toilet paper is becoming a contentious issue among consumers as a result of growing knowledge about the destruction of forests for the manufacturing of paper pulp. However, producers are always looking for alternatives to lessen the demand for virgin paper pulp and are making an effort to properly obtain raw resources. Additionally, participants are committed to using greener practises across the product's full production chain. For instance, Georgia-Pacific's Compact Coreless 2-Ply Bathroom Tissue will further minimise the use of paper pulp for the tissue roll's core and contribute to environmental preservation. Similar to this, Lucart Group manufactures these papers from post-consumer recycled beverage carton fibres. As a result, there is now a greater need for environmentally friendly bath tissues due to rising environmental concerns.

Restraint

Introduction of bidet toilets

A pressing need to reduce the use of this paper has arisen due to growing awareness about the preservation of natural resources. The market has a number of significant options, including bidet toilets, which should reduce the demand for toilet paper. Additionally, the growing cost of paper pulp as a raw material would have an adverse effect on market size.

Opportunity

Increasing number of commercial buildings

The global hospitality business has expanded as a result of the rising popularity of travel and tourism. This has driven the need for tissue products in hotels, resorts, and restaurants, which will help the industry, develop along with the stricter cleanliness standards. In addition, the growing working-class population has increased the use of products in offices and business sectors to meet employee needs. Similar to this, the rise in the number of working women has raised the need for offices and public facilities to maintain high standards of hygiene. Therefore, the expansion of commercial facilities is anticipated to drive this market's expansion.

Threat

Suppliers of raw materials are important players in the toilet paper industry. The market's expansion is hampered by rising raw material prices. Additionally, the adoption of toilet paper products is constrained by strict limitations placed on the manufacturing and import of raw materials like wood, are limited supply of high-quality wood.

Covid-19 Impact

Sales and demand for toilet paper have increased as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. In the early stages of the lockdown, there was a noticeable increase in demand for toilet paper in the market. In affluent nations, toilet paper is a basic necessity, therefore the lockdown caused a panicky shopping frenzy among the public.

The rolled segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The rolled segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its conventional structure, which provides ease of use and the ability to refill products, the rolled category is anticipated to keep a significant share of the market. However, because of the enthusiastic response from consumers, players are developing new product offers in the folded shape. Kimberly-Clark, for instance, sells folded bath tissue, which only enables the use of one tissue at a time. As a result, compared to the rolled form, around 40% less paper is used. Therefore, the category is anticipated to increase quickly because to the rising customer demand for folded form.

The household segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The household segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to paper is a need for everyday use, families utilise it at a higher rate. Residential facilities are increasing their usage, which is considerably boosting the segment's growth. Similar to this, the rise in single-parent homes and nuclear families has increased the number of households and the consumption of these papers per family. As a result, a substantial portion of the toilet paper market is anticipated to belong to the domestic sector.

Region with largest share

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the Asian nations that have substantially lower per capita use. But the existence of densely populated nations, rising urbanisation, and industrialization have improved lavatory facilities, increasing product demand. Furthermore, given the rise in the number of families and business establishments that have toilets in the restrooms, the trend of westernising Asian cultures is anticipated to sustain product demand.

Region with highest CAGR

Middle East & Africa is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the existence of less developed nations, their dire economic situations, and the overall lower average volume of tissue consumption across all regional markets, the Middle East and Africa market now has a smaller share. However, the market is anticipated to expand steadily, with the demand for sanitary tissue products in the area being driven by the rising awareness of personal hygiene and care.
