Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for household and sanitary paper in Congo rose from 3 311 t in 2018 to 3 391 t in 2021, supported by an improved business environment including the authorization of four industrial units under Law No. 9-2015 and the establishment of a committee to enhance investment conditions. Political stability after the 2021 presidential re-election further contributed to steady economic conditions.

In 2022, the market declined to 3 163 t as a December decree redefining public procurement procedures temporarily reduced imports. The following year, volume surged to 3 717 t, driven by the National Health Development Plan 2023-2026 which boosted demand for sanitary paper, alongside broader economic growth with GDP expanding by 3.5%.

By 2024, regulatory measures included a tobacco product marking system to combat smuggling, which may influence traceability standards in related sectors, and ministerial orders defining health inspection frameworks relevant to sanitary paper compliance.
