Tissue and hygiene in 2024: The big picture
Tissue and hygiene in Bangladesh experienced a mixed performance in 2024, as economic challenges and political instability disrupted business operations. A nationwide shutdown lasting approximately two months significantly impacted commercial activity, limiting sales growth.
2024 key trends
Retail tissue, away-from-home tissue, and nappies/diapers/pants remained the largest categories in 2024, supported by strong consumer adoption and wider product availability. Additionally, demand for adult incontinence and sanitary napkin products showed steady growth, reflecting shifts in consumer preferences towards convenience and hygiene.
Competitive landscape
Meghna Group, Bashundhara Group, Square Toiletries, and ACI Group were among the dominant players in Bangladesh’s tissue and hygiene industry in 2024. However, Meghna Group gained market share at the expense of Bashundhara Group, whose sales declined significantly due to political and reputational challenges.
Retail developments
Traditional grocery stores, drugstores, and wholesale non-grocery outlets continued to dominate tissue and hygiene product distribution. The widespread availability of these products at specialised shops, including drugstores and stationery retailers, ensured consistent consumer access.
What next for tissue and hygiene?
Tissue and hygiene is expected to grow over the forecast period, driven by increasing consumer adoption and economic stabilisation. Although high inflation and political uncertainty affected sales in 2024, the outlook for the coming years is more optimistic.
