Molfix Expands Bulk Pack Strategy to Defend Price Leadership
Tissue and hygiene in Iraq continues to demonstrate robust current value growth, reaching IQD1,541,179 million in 2025 with a 4% annual increase in current value terms, outperforming several neighbouring markets and underscoring resilience amid economic headwinds and intensifying competition from Chinese and Turkish imports. The landscape remains attractive, supported by a growing population and rising consumer expenditure, but success requires navigating pronounced fragmentation, sustained price pressure, and evolving consumer priorities. Leading brands are defending share by leveraging operational scale, broad product portfolios, and value-driven innovation, while those unable to deliver affordability, convenience, and credible wellbeing claims are increasingly vulnerable in a marketplace where efficiency and trust are paramount.
