Market Insights & Analysis: India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market (2023-28)

The India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-28. The prime factor likely to propel the market growth is the ever-increasing need for a variety of tissue products to manage sanitation & hygiene in hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities, retail establishments, educational institutions, and public spaces. Away-From-Home (AFH) Tissue and Hygiene refers to products like paper towels, toilet paper, and facial tissues, among others, used widely by people in hotels, restaurants, & the healthcare sector for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The adoption of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) paper towels is also being boosted by the growing emphasis on proper hygiene. Several away-from-home tissue products are now in high demand in public spaces & commercial facilities owing to growing concerns over contagious diseases. Moreover, it is anticipated that the emergence of affordable, environmentally friendly tissue products would further increase the sales of Tissue and Hygiene products in the coming years.

Moreover, in the first half of 2021, India experienced a devastating second wave of COVID-19, which significantly surged the number of hospital admissions. Even though the virus affects people of all ages, however, elderly people are more likely to develop a severe infection, which frequently necessitates ICU care & ventilation. In light of the situation, the majority of hospitals chose incontinence products comprising adult diapers, bed pads, etc., for effective patient management in view of the rising hospital admissions. As a result, the AFH hygiene category experienced significant growth, eventually enhancing the India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market size.

Additionally, according to the National Statistical Office (NSO)’s Elderly in India 2021, India’s elderly population (aged 60 and above) is projected to touch 194 million in 2031. Owing to the rising geriatric population in India, the demand for incontinence products in the future is expected to escalate since elderly people are more likely to get affected by the infection. Therefore, a rising number of aged in-patients in hospitals would stimulate the growth of the India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market in the forecast years.

Market Dynamics

Key Driver: Rising Consumer Awareness of Personal Hygiene

The major need for AFH products generally arises in hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities, etc., owing to the growing awareness among consumers about the importance of personal hygiene.

India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market Research Report: Forecast (2023-2028)

The most noteworthy demand was recorded in eateries, stores, open toilets, etc., where cleanliness items are provided extensively to customers. In addition, the rapidly rising middle-class population in India & improving disposable incomes are further stimulating market expansion. According to hospitality & travel-tech company OYO, even smaller cities like Hathras, Sasaram, etc., are experiencing a higher influx of visitors. Hence, the demand for tissue papers & hygiene products in hotels, eateries, etc., is continuously increasing, further creating new avenues for the India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market to expand notably in the coming years.

Key Trend: Inclination Towards the Recycled Tissues to Gain Traction

Conservation of paper & trees has been a key initiative laid down by the government of India, owing to which the residents of India are becoming more & more aware of sustainable options. However, to upscale & engage more consumers, the brands are launching the products such as recycled tissues, etc., that serve as an environment-friendly solution. These new & innovative product ranges by the companies such as Eco & Close and various others are gradually gaining traction due to the surge in the adoption of sustainable & eco-friendly hygiene products.

The demand for these products majorly arises from individuals since they are equally participating in the “Conservation of Paper & Water” movement and are acting as responsible Indian citizens. Hence, the growing sustainable innovations in the AFH tissue category to engage more consumers are driving the AFH Tissue and Hygiene market in India.

Possible Restraint: Installation of Hand Dryers in Hotels/Airports to Impact AFH Tissue

Nowadays, more consumers are aware of how their daily habits impact the environment & what they can do to make a difference. Therefore, individuals are gradually inclining toward more sustainable solutions. The government of India is also encouraging the residents of the country to save natural resources by launching several initiatives such as Go Green Initiative, Clean Paper Initiative, etc., and is running campaigns to conserve water & paper.

Owing to these initiatives & plans, several government offices as well as private firms are going paperless & are installing hand dryers at buildings such as airports, various ministerial offices, commercial buildings, etc. Even the hospitality sector spaces are adopting sustainable solutions by installing hand dryers with touchless technologies in place of conventional tissues to improve visitor & employee safety as well as environmental concerns. As a result, demand for away-from-home tissues and hygiene products would be limited in the coming years.

Growth Opportunity: Government-led Plans Toward Promoting Inbound Tourism

Consumer behavior has shifted significantly in the aftermath of the pandemic, with people primarily concerned with health and hygiene. Growing hygiene consciousness and awareness are creating a beneficial effect on the AFH Tissue and Hygiene market. Furthermore, business operations have resumed, tourist attractions have reopened, and various other sectors are back to normal. Following this, commercial offices remained open, and the number of visitors to restaurants, malls, etc., increased steadily.

Moreover, the resumption of flights has ramped up the number of tourist arrivals in India, which is anticipated to drive up demand for tissues and hygiene products since establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and others are required to meet foreign hygiene standards.

In addition, the Government of India is developing plans to encourage and promote tourism, including medical tourism, which would lead to higher sales of tissue & hygiene products from both hotels & hospitals, further elevating the India Away-From-Home Tissue and Hygiene Market size. For instance, according to the Federation of Associations in Indian Tourism & Hospitality (FAITH), currently, the total tourist traffic (inbound travel) in India is only 7.1% & the government plans to increase this to around 15.9% by 2035. Hence, the growing tourism in the country would provide a notable boost to the market across the hospitality industry in the forthcoming years.
