Increasing awareness about hygiene and sanitation is expected to drive the growth of the manual tissue paper dispenser market in the coming years. Hygiene and sanitation encompass practices and conditions that promote health and prevent disease transmission through cleanliness and effective waste management. This awareness has surged globally due to recent outbreaks of infectious diseases, emphasizing the crucial role of cleanliness in safeguarding public health. Such heightened consciousness encourages the use of manual tissue paper dispensers that support touch-minimized interactions, thereby helping reduce germ transmission via shared surfaces. For example, in March 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental agency, reported that approximately 57% of the global population, around 4.6 billion people had access to safely managed sanitation services. Consequently, this growing focus on hygiene and sanitation is expected to significantly boost demand for manual tissue paper dispensers.

Key players in the manual tissue paper dispenser market are prioritizing the development of advanced controlled dispensing solutions to address hygiene concerns and optimize paper consumption. Controlled toilet paper dispensers feature sheet-by-sheet mechanisms that minimize waste and enhance hygiene by limiting user contact and regulating the amount of paper dispensed. For instance, in October 2024, Papernet, a hygiene brand under Italy-based Sofidel, a global leader in hygienic and domestic paper products, launched FullOne, an innovative controlled toilet paper dispenser. Designed to maximize restroom hygiene and optimize paper use, FullOne holds over 200 meters of paper, reducing waste and decreasing refill frequency. Constructed entirely from antibacterial plastic, its compact vertical design is ideal for space-constrained environments, combining aesthetics with practicality. The sheet-by-sheet dispensing feature ensures users take only what they need, enhancing hygiene and minimizing unnecessary waste.

This acquisition enables APRIL Group to expand its footprint in India’s fast-growing consumer tissue and hygiene market, driven by rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and heightened personal hygiene awareness. The move enhances APRIL’s downstream integration and product diversification, while leveraging Origami’s strong distribution network and brand equity within India.
