In 2024, tissue and hygiene in New Zealand recorded positive retail value growth, with retail volume rising across retail tissue, nappies/diapers/pants, and menstrual care. Value sales were lower than those seen in 2023, as inflationary pressures that had impacted New Zealand throughout the previous years, began to ease. Despite a slowdown in unit price growth, consumer budgets were stretched due to high interest rates, prompting many to seek ways to reduce their expenses.
