In 2024, China’s toilet paper market faced a challenging environment amid the country’s slow post-pandemic economic recovery. Consumer confidence remained subdued as households grappled with financial uncertainties, leading to restrained spending across various consumer goods categories. The rising cost of international wood pulp placed additional pressure on manufacturers, resulting in higher retail prices for toilet paper. This price inflation, combined with cautious consumer spending, weighed on overall demand. However, as an essential commodity, toilet paper demonstrated resilience, with its non-discretionary nature supporting continued market stability despite broader economic headwinds.
The category also encountered increasing competition from wet toilet tissues, which, while still having relatively low penetration compared to traditional toilet paper, gained traction among certain consumer segments. The appeal of a more thorough cleansing experience attracted growing interest, particularly among younger and urban consumers. However, the cost of daily wet tissue usage remained a key deterrent for most households, especially in an economic climate where discretionary spending was being carefully managed.
Despite these challenges, the long-term growth prospects of the toilet paper market remained intact, supported by evolving hygiene habits, urbanization, and premiumization trends. Consumers increasingly sought higher-quality products, including those with enhanced softness, multi-layer structures, and eco-friendly attributes. Meanwhile, retail channels continued to evolve, with e-commerce playing an increasingly important role in distribution. Platforms such as JD.com and Tmall enabled wider product accessibility, often offering bulk purchasing options and promotional incentives to drive consumer engagement.
