Household and sanitary paper in wide rolls or large sheets market Ukraine

Earlier Report Observations

The market for household and sanitary paper in wide rolls and sheets in Ukraine expanded from 139.9 thousand tons in 2018 to 171.4 thousand tons in 2023. This growth was supported by a strong domestic production base, with the Kyiv Cardboard and Paper Mill accounting for about half of all toilet paper output. The entry of a new large-scale plant in 2019 and capacity expansion at existing facilities like the Kokhavinska Paper Factory in 2020 increased overall supply and contributed to market volume growth.

After a temporary dip in 2021, the market rebounded in 2022, partly due to regulated public procurement standards that specified technical and quality requirements for toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins in budgetary institutions, sustaining demand. Antitrust enforcement also played a role, with fines imposed on the leading producer for unauthorized market concentration, which may have influenced competitive dynamics. In 2023, market volume continued to rise, reaching 171.4 thousand tons.

Into 2024, the Kyiv Cardboard and Paper Mill reported significant production increases, with toilet paper output up 47% and paper towels up 4.4% in the first seven months, indicating ongoing expansion in the sector.
