Convenience Drives Growth through Discreet, User-Friendly Solutions
Tissue and hygiene in Costa Rica demonstrates notable resilience and growth, achieving a rise in retail sales in 2025 despite regional and global cost pressures, outperforming many neighbouring countries that struggle with higher inflation and weaker consumer sentiment. This environment is considered attractive due to a combination of steady GDP expansion, subdued inflation and strong household demand for essential products, underpinning both the stability and innovation potential within tissue and hygiene. Companies that prioritise convenience, inclusivity and emotional wellbeing through product and communication strategies, such as expanding light incontinence solutions, launching extra-large nappies/diapers/pants, and linking products to broader wellbeing, are well-positioned to defend value and capture future demand. To succeed, brands must address evolving consumer needs by reducing barriers to use, embracing holistic wellbeing and differentiating through innovation, while responding to rising price sensitivity and the growing presence of private label, particularly in retail tissue and wipes.
