Local Players Defend Share by Prioritising Affordability and Essentials
Tissue and hygiene in Ukraine delivered a marked year-on-year uplift in value, with current value sales increasing by 12% to UAH25 billion in 2025, significantly outpacing the more stable growth rates seen across Eastern Europe despite ongoing population decline and elevated inflation at 12%. The market remains attractive for players capable of delivering affordability and essential functionality, as price sensitivity and cautious spending are reinforced by demographic contraction and modest real GDP growth of 2%. Local manufacturers strengthened their position by focusing on no-frills, bulk formats and efficient supply, while international brands shifted to value-led propositions and larger pack sizes to defend share. E-commerce accelerated as a core distribution channel, driven by demand for bulk buying, rapid delivery, and transparent pricing, with platforms such as Eva, Watsons, and Rozetka capturing a growing proportion of planned and repeat purchases. Brands seeking sustained growth must prioritise value-for-money, robust digital engagement, and supply reliability, as trading up and premiumisation remain limited to narrow niches and convenience is increasingly delivered through integrated online and offline touchpoints.
