Growth Factors in the Japan Tissue Paper Market
- Rising Demand for Premium and Sustainable Products
The growth of the market is also anticipated to be helped along by the demand for eco-friendly and premium quality tissue paper products, with consumers opting for those made from recycled content or material sourced from sustainable sources. The household and personal care sectors demand higher quality, softer, and hypoallergenic tissue products. Japan is sensitive to environmental issues which drives this demand, and government intervenes while consumers become aware. People certify raw materials as sustainable, and those materials become more available as well as the fact that people produce processes in an eco-friendly way. The trend for premium and sustainable products coincides with other trends such as the rising demand for health and wellness, sustainability and premium products.
- Expansion of E-Commerce and Digital Shopping Channels
With the rise of online retailing, the tissue paper market in Japan is shifting, as factors such as home delivery to the door and convenience in buying a large variety of tissue paper products online are gaining momentum. Buying online also allows consumers to compare price, size, and type for different brands. Subscription and bulk buying options are popular among price conscious and convenience seeking consumers. With the growth of e-commerce, tissue paper manufacturers are investing in planned digitalization, e-commerce optimization, and personalized marketing to meet the consumers' dynamic needs. Market growth should occur during the forecast period because of increasing digitalization.
- Heightened Focus on Hygiene and Sanitization
An increase in hygiene-related tissue product demand occurred among the Japanese population's growing awareness of health and infectious diseases. During the pandemic, consumers shifted their preferences toward products that provide higher levels of hygiene and safety. Disinfectant wipes, sanitizing tissues, and facial tissues for specific hygiene needs have gained popularity. This popularity is because of their convenience and portability. The need for tissue products has increased within public places. This need also grew in workplaces and homes. As hygiene is considered a major consumer need, tissue paper products have become an important part of consumers' hygiene routines. In order to satisfy consumer needs, new types of tissue papers are developed on a continuous basis.
Key Trends in the Japan Tissue Paper Market
- Integration of Advanced Materials and Production Technologies
Recent developments in the process of producing tissue paper allow the manufacture of products with high levels of softness, strength and absorbency that are compatible with environmental sustainability. Recent advances in fiber blends and manufacturing technology have given manufacturers of tissue products the ability to manufacture a diversified range of products under different specifications while reducing the resource requirements and cost of production. Such developments are increasing the availability of premium quality tissue products at multiple levels, including performance, comfort and price.
- Growing Adoption of Multi-Functional Tissue Products
There is consumer demand for multi-functional products that deliver beyond the conventional tissue paper benefits. In the Japanese market, multi-functional tissues have been growing in appeal. These tissues are moisturizing and antibacterial. They also have a specialty coating. These products, designed for specific applications including cleaning or skin care, are competitive in their respective niche markets. Specialty tissue products are being developed for special applications. These applications include cleaning up in the kitchen, removing make-up, or caring for a baby, giving new opportunities to the market.
- Shift Towards Localized and Artisanal Production
As demand has grown for domestic production of tissue products that meet customary Japanese quality standards, a number of domestic producers have begun producing tissue products using more artisanal production methods and finer quality materials. They often advertise their products as softer, made only with natural materials from the countryside, or made using customary techniques in part to market to consumers who prefer high quality products and who are interested in buying Japanese-made products to support local producers.
