Expanding Hospitality and Foodservice Sectors
The growth of the hospitality and foodservice industries is significantly driving the tissue paper market in India. Restaurants, hotels, cafes, and fast-food chains require tissue paper for various purposes, including napkins, kitchen rolls, and bathroom hygiene products. With rising disposable incomes, more Indians are dining out and traveling, fueling demand for tissue products in these sectors. The increasing number of restaurants, hotels, and quick-service chains across metropolitan cities and tourist destinations is further boosting tissue paper consumption. In addition, the expansion of organized retail and the food delivery industry is creating a positive India tissue paper market outlook. This rising demand has encouraged both established players and new entrants to expand their product offerings and manufacturing capacities. For instance, in September 2023, Pepco, based in Kochi, announced the launch of its new Kenin brand of tissue paper products, catering to various needs such as facial tissues, kitchen rolls, and toilet paper. The Thiruvankulam facility can produce 35 tonnes monthly, using virgin-grade paper for enhanced absorption and allergy-free qualities. The products are now available in supermarkets across Kerala.
Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly and Recycled Products
As environmental concerns grow, the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable tissue paper products is on the rise. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of single-use products and prefer recycled or biodegradable tissue paper. Many tissue paper manufacturers in India are responding to this trend by offering products made from recycled paper or sustainably sourced materials. Government regulations and initiatives promoting sustainable practices in manufacturing are also supporting this shift toward greener alternatives fueling the India tissue paper market share. This trend aligns with global sustainability efforts and is increasingly influencing purchasing decisions in both the consumer and institutional markets. For instance, in July 2023, Sybron introduced SySoft Luxury Bamboo Toilet Paper, created from 100% bamboo and featuring plastic-free packaging. Sybron collaborated with UniGreen, a bamboo expert focused on substituting all wood pulp paper and plastic items with those made from bamboo. Bamboo is a grass material that is recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. It is the quickest-growing plant, reaching maturity in three to five years, compared to 30-50 years for trees. It flourishes in nutrient-poor soil and holds soil moisture, promoting regrowth, producing additional oxygen, and absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than trees do.
