Cargills Food City Attracts Price-Conscious Shoppers with Deep Discounts
Tissue and hygiene in Sri Lanka in 2025 demonstrates steady but slower value growth compared to prior years, as households remain cautious in their spending following a period of economic instability. The overall environment is attractive for brands able to compete on affordability, as aggressive discounting, bundle promotions, and a surge in private label offerings from major retailers such as Cargills Food City, Keells, and Spar have shifted consumer priorities away from brand loyalty towards visible savings and value. Essential products like nappies, diapers, and baby pants continue to lead in value sales, though the fastest retail volume gains are observed in adult incontinence, fuelled by a growing elderly population. Success in this landscape requires a focus on price-led strategies, innovative pack formats, and the ability to adapt to the evolving preferences of both value-driven and eco-conscious shoppers, as sustainability and convenience gradually become more important. Brands seeking to defend or grow their share must differentiate through purposeful innovation, targeted promotions, and responsiveness to demographic and retail channel shifts, rather than relying on legacy brand strength or premiumisation.
