The demand for toilet paper in restaurants, hotels, and resorts is surging due to heightened hygiene requirements.
Asia Pacific: Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization Asia Pacific generated USD 9.55 billion in revenue in 2019. Although per capita toilet paper usage is lower compared to other regions, rapid industrialization and urbanization are expected to drive demand as improved restroom facilities become more common.
North America: Increased Spending Power North America is also poised for significant growth, backed by the rising spending power of consumers in Canada and the U.S.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the growth of the toilet paper market due to panic buying among consumers during the initial months of 2020. Lockdown measures and social distancing regulations further spiked the demand for toilet paper. For instance, Kimberly-Clark reported that its first-quarter sales in 2020 reached USD 1.7 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year.
Market Drivers and Restraints
Rising Working-Class Population The increasing working-class population and the expanding travel and tourism industry are expected to boost the demand for toilet paper in corporate sectors and hospitality facilities worldwide. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau showed that the total number of establishments grew from 7,860,674 in 2017 to 7,912,405 in 2018, indicating a rising need for hygiene products like toilet paper.
Popularity of Bidet Toilets Despite these growth factors, the rising popularity of bidet toilets may pose a challenge to the toilet paper market by limiting demand.

For example, in September 2020, Andritz AG secured a contract from Guangdong Hengan Paper Co., Ltd. to supply four tissue machines to its mill in China. These machines will produce premium-quality handkerchiefs, toilet, facial, and napkin tissues from virgin market pulp.
Conclusion
