The effects of the pandemic and the growing importance of sustainability in the global consumer tissue market are significant aspects for businesses to consider in order to tailor marketing campaigns, optimise the customer experience and guide strategic initiatives. According to Euromonitor International, consumer lifestyles and purchase decisions are increasingly leaning towards more sustainable practices. With consumer and government pressures to reduce environmental impact and increase production costs, the industry embraces circular business models and eco-friendly manufacturing practices and products. Developing a sustainable supply chain, reducing non-recyclable plastic packaging, and using alternative fibres are among the strategies adopted by the industry to respond to the changing demand. According to data from Euromonitor International, Global Retail Tissue value is USD 89.7 Billion.
