Active Ageing Population Drives Incontinence Growth as Action Entry Intensifies Value Competition
Tissue and hygiene in Switzerland records positive value growth in 2025, driven by expansion in retail adult incontinence as an ageing yet active population increasingly seeks discreet, high-quality solutions. The competitive landscape remains moderately concentrated, with Migros Genossenschaftsbund eG, Procter & Gamble Switzerland Sàrl and Essity AB maintaining leadership through strong consumer trust and sustainability credentials, while private labels continue to gain share. Supermarkets retain channel leadership due to convenience and broad assortments, while discounters capture share by offering improved quality at lower prices. Retail e-commerce continues to expand, particularly in discreet categories such as adult incontinence and menstrual care, where privacy, subscriptions and home delivery resonate with consumers. Overall, the market is characterised by value-seeking behaviour alongside persistent premiumisation expectations, as consumers combine promotion-led purchasing and private-label adoption with demands for credible sustainability claims and transparency before accepting higher prices. Demographic shifts, including population ageing and declining birth rates, are set to reshape the category mix, with retail adult incontinence expected to sustain faster growth and sustainability commitments increasingly defining competitive success over the forecast period.
