Scott Drives Value-Led Growth as Affordability Remains Central
Tissue and hygiene in El Salvador delivered moderate retail value growth of 4% in 2025, reaching USD195 million, a pace that aligns with regional stability but signals a market still constrained by low to middle income levels and strong price sensitivity. Despite limited gains in average income, the market remains attractive due to its essential nature, broad household penetration, and the emergence of new value pools such as adult incontinence. Companies face intensifying competition from private label and value brands, with leading players relying on affordability-driven innovation, such as multipack formats and cost-saving features, while simultaneously developing products with added value to retain loyalty among higher-income consumers. Brands that succeed are those that address both affordability and evolving preferences for health-oriented, dermatological, and sensorial attributes, while ensuring wide availability through supermarkets, discounters, and an expanding network of small local grocers. To maintain relevance and secure future growth, companies must leverage local manufacturing efficiencies, invest in differentiated product portfolios, and closely track shifting demographic and well-being trends, especially as the ageing population drives rising demand for adult incontinence and the search for personalised care intensifies.
