Tissues started getting commercialized in the U.S. 150 years ago as a part of toiletries, initially as toilet paper. Gradually, the use of tissues widened to facial tissues. One of the significant evolutions in this sector was introduction of facial tissues under the Kleenex brand by Kimberly Clark Corporation. This introduction was aimed at replacing cloth towels with facial tissues for removing facial cold cream. Slowly, several companies introduced facial tissues as substitutes for disposable handkerchiefs. Though numerous brands including Puffs, angel Soft, and Scotties entered the facial tissues market, Kleenex remained a synonymous word for facial tissues for a long period of time.
Presently, the facial tissues market is fragmented with presence of a large number of participants. Over the years, manufacturers have focused on gaining market share by emphasizing the product development in areas such as pattern, color, texture, scent, and finish. More advancements were made in the product, especially in the packaging design of the product. Facial tissues are made from both virgin and recycled paper pulp.
The facial tissues market is primarily driven by increasing disposable income and improving lifestyle of people across the globe. Another macro factor driving the market is the rising focus on hygiene by consumers. The prevalence of allergies, cold, and cough is rising and carrying cotton handkerchiefs may not be easy. These factors are also driving the facial tissues market. On the other hand, manufacturers of facial tissues are challenged by the rising fragmentation of the market, with increasing number of local players entering the market. Moreover, the existing manufacturers can avail growth opportunities in the market in developing countries by understanding the religious and cultural norms and targeting those specific consumers in these countries.
Another opportunity for leading players to retain their market share is the innovative packaging by paying attention to aesthetics and formats of the design elements of packaging. Consumers from developing countries are opting for luxurious and ultra-absorbent facial tissues. Another trending product in the facial tissues market is the unbleached and 100% recyclable facial tissues. Moreover, manufacturers of facial tissues are coming up with facial tissues with plastic-free packaging. These packs are placed in retail shelves near the point-of-sale (POS), which aids in in-store retail visibility and differentiation. Additionally, companies are innovating facial tissue dispensers and selling these dispensers as a part of cross-selling strategy. Europe witnesses the highest consumption of facial tissues across the globe.
