GCC Tissue and Hygiene Paper Market – Overview

Tissue paper is a form of lightweight paper that is often composed of recycled paper pulp and can be used for hygiene purposes. It is created from paper pulp (wood fiber) or recycled paper materials, such as cardboard, newspapers, or some types of juice cartons, and is used in common products like toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. Hygienic tissue paper is often used as facial tissue (paper handkerchiefs), napkins, bathroom tissue, and household towels. Tissue papers are more sanitary than fabric handkerchiefs and towels since they are disposable and discarded after use.

GCC Tissue and Hygiene Paper Market – By Type

Based on type, the GCC tissue and hygiene paper market is split into at-home and away-from-home segments. The at-home tissue and hygiene paper type holds a significant market share. The increased consumer awareness of cleanliness and personal hygiene is a critical factor for the growth of the segment. The high rate of migration from other nations in GCC countries influences the demand for tissue and hygiene paper in this market as well. The away-from-home segment is also expanding rapidly because of urbanization and a growing expatriate workforce.

Impact of COVID-19 on the GCC Tissue and Hygiene Paper Market

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated growth in the GCC tissue hygiene paper market.
