Tuti Drives Value Shift as Consumers Trade Down and Private Label Grows
Tissue and hygiene in Ecuador showed moderate growth in 2025, with a retail value increase of 2% to USD562 million. The landscape is increasingly shaped by heightened price sensitivity, with cost-conscious shoppers fuelling a pronounced shift towards discounter channels and private label. While overall consumer spending in Ecuador reached USD83.3 billion in 2025 and economic indicators stabilised, the cautious approach to household budgets remains entrenched, making affordability a decisive factor and creating an environment that is attractive for brands with flexible portfolios and strong value propositions, but increasingly challenging for mid-priced branded players. To succeed, companies must pair cost competitiveness with innovation in convenience and inclusivity, while maintaining relevance across both value and premium tiers through tailored communication, strong distribution, and adaptation to evolving retail dynamics.
