Ongoing Price Sensitivity Even as Inflation Eases
Tissue and hygiene in the US demonstrated steady value growth in 2025, with current value sales increasing by 2% to USD47,964 million, a pace now more closely aligned with other mature regions as inflationary pressures subside. While the US continues to present an attractive environment due to its scale and rising consumer expenditure, growth is increasingly shaped by heightened price sensitivity, the growing influence of warehouse clubs and private label, and a shift towards premium and sustainable offerings. Brand success is being driven by a combination of innovation in sensory and health-related product features, targeted responses to demographic changes, such as an ageing population, and the ability to leverage digital channels for direct consumer engagement and subscription-driven loyalty. A strategic focus on both value and premiumisation, alongside agility in adapting to evolving consumer preferences for convenience, privacy, and environmental responsibility, will be essential for maintaining competitiveness and capturing long-term value.
