Salling Group and Essity Drive Value-Led Innovation as Household Budgets Tighten
Tissue and hygiene in Denmark demonstrated stronger value growth in 2025 than most Western European peers, expanding by 3% in current value terms to DKK2.9 billion. This was supported by moderate economic growth, an expanding and ageing population, and a pronounced shift towards pragmatic, efficacy-driven purchasing. The landscape remains highly attractive, as resilient demand for retail tissue and the rapid expansion of retail adult incontinence—up 17% in value and 16% in volume—offsets the ongoing decline in nappies/diapers and reflects a demographic-driven reorientation of consumption patterns. With discounters commanding a 32% share of offline sales and e-commerce surging to a 10% value share, success increasingly depends on balancing accessible pricing, targeted innovation, and sustainable features. Brands that invest in differentiated, high-impact product launches and leverage omnichannel and private label strategies are best placed to capture share as Danish households grow more selective and environmentally conscious.
