Essity's hygiene and health market
Growth potential in different regions
Hygiene and health product usage varies widely across regions; high in mature markets, lower in emerging ones. For instance, incontinence product use in Latin America is just a quarter of Western Europe’s, and tissue consumption in Eastern Europe is a third. Rising living standards, urbanization, retail and e-commerce growth, increased health awareness, and better medical access are driving demand in emerging markets. Essity aims to strengthen its leadership in mature markets while capturing growth in emerging ones, where the hygiene and health market was worth approximately SEK 200bn in 2024, compared to SEK 540bn in mature markets.
