《世界卫生纸》2013年度项目调查

已公布的151个卫生纸项目中75个来自中国。 过去12个月内,全球卫生纸行业见证了大量已经公布或即将投产的新产能。 去年的项目调查共114个项目,其中69个位于中国。现在,2013年至2014的151项目详情已经公布,其中一半来自中国。 该调查向机械供应商提出了关于其当前和未来发展的问题,并根据回答结果确定了2013年至2014年增加、订购或处于最终规划阶段的新产能。 另外需要注意,在卫生灾难生产周期的目前阶段,许多企业纷纷淘汰老旧设施来为新设施让路。 调查涉及的所有数据均基于获取的最佳信息并进行了修订,因为在很多情况下,受访者因商业敏感性或财务不确定性而未提供信息。 此外,很多项目也有所延迟,在某些情况下,产能过剩的趋势开始对市场产生重大影响。 事实上,本年度公布的部分“新”产能包含了去年的预计产能。 数家公司还公布了引人注目的每日产量预测,从而在调查中增加了未知的产能。 有鉴于此,从本年度的图表来看,2013年至2014年已经公布、完成规划或即将投产的纸巾产能预计约为440万吨。 2011年《世界卫生纸》曾指出,2011年至2012年将约有340万吨产能投产,其中约170万吨新增年产能将在2012年上马。 和去年一样,这些机器的规格相当巨大,大部分新投产机器的宽度在5.6米。 除了中国,此类产能增长更多地集中于巴西和土耳其等国。 但是,全球卫生纸行业出现了投产和停产参半的局面,市场形势显然充满不确定性。 中国产能过剩的情况继续加剧行业的不明朗态势。 无论是中国市场还是全球市场都无法消化所有已经规划的产能,新确定的停产只能轻微改善当前形势。 这一局面将如何继续影响市场利润率,我们拭目以待。 从全球范围看,经济衰退持续影响着该行业的众多领域。尽管如此,卫生纸行业的发展状况以乐观为主,全球增长速度有望继续保持在过去几年的4.1%至4.3%之间。 我们有望看到新兴经济体继续加快步伐,积极响应各个细分市场对创新及可持续产品的需求。 “全球卫生纸行业出现了投产和停产参半的局面,市场形势显然充满不确定性。” 《世界卫生纸》项目调查数据: 151 2013年至2014年全球卫生纸项目 75 2013年至2014年中国卫生纸项目 114 2012年至2013年全球卫生纸项目 69 2012年至2013年中国卫生纸项目

经济危机重塑卫生纸市场

自有品牌前所未有的发展、企业社会责任、可持续发展、最大限度实现性价比价值——Cascades Tissue Group 首席执行官 Suzanne Blanchet 向《世界卫生纸》介绍卫生纸零售业的关键趋势。   《世界卫生纸》,下称 TW:在当地零售市场中您发现了哪些趋势?  Suzanne Blanchet:“一个很明显的趋势是,货架上的自有品牌产品变多了。 经过了几年的经济危机,消费者一直在寻找最实惠的日常消费品,而自有品牌通常会成为他们的选择。 如此一来,尤其是在受经济危机影响较大的美国,自有品牌产品在市场中出现了前所未有的发展。 “另一个关键的趋势是对环保型产品的青睐。 可喜的是,当一个企业将可持续性纳入其核心价值,就会做出大量努力来改变产品的设计和生产方式。 在过去几年,企业社会责任已发展成一种理念,现在有更多的企业愿意投入时间和精力来开发对客户和环境都有益的产品。 众所周知,卫生纸是用完就变成垃圾的一次性使用产品。 现在,减少污染和资源利用已不再是一种选择,而成为对子孙后代的责任。” TW: 消费者的购买习惯都发生了哪些变化? Suzanne Blanchet: “目前,我们发现消费者在购买卫生纸产品时更多地在寻找最佳性价比价值。 他们比以往任何时候都更加热衷于更柔软、性能更优的高端产品。 我们也发现,有越来越多的消费者会在产品包装上寻找环保声明。 愈发常见的是,环保标准已成为选购卫生纸产品的优先指标之一。 据预测,加拿大人口中约有 30% 是‘绿色消费者’。 在这种情况下,企业面临的挑战很明显, 那就是要寻找能有效宣传产品环保优势的最佳方式。 五十年来,Cascades 公司始终专注于减少对资源的使用(例如纤维、水、能源、化学品),减少生态足迹。事实上,公司已走在了行业的前端。 我们正在不断寻找向客户宣传的方式。” TW: 自有品牌产品是怎样改变零售状况的?

零售: 塑造全球卫生纸行业

卫生纸生产商追随零售商客户,将业务拓展到新区域,设立相应部门并达到所需的质量,满足环保需求。 ——《世界卫生纸》报道。 作者:Pirkko Petäjä,Pöyry 管理咨询公司负责人 Pirkko Petäjä  零售商影响了生产商的地理分布 卫生纸生产商的地理分布通常取决于零售商的需求。 很多生产商,尤其是自有品牌生产商,追随零售商进入新市场。 生产商为了向零售商客户提供服务,不得不在规模上跟进零售商,扩大自己的规模,还要能在多个国家开展业务。 与零售商的合作关系,较大的规模以及在多个地区大量供应货物的能力,从而形成了优于当地小型竞争者的优势。 1990 年至 2000 年期间意大利企业在多个欧洲国家拓展业务就是遵循了这一模式。 这塑造了整个欧洲卫生纸供应形势。 零售结构和大型零售商集团的市场渗透通常决定了自有品牌产品和品牌产品的比重 零售结构通常是卫生纸市场发展的有用指标。 零售商结构、集中程度、零售商数量以及市场中零售商的类型,广泛地决定了市场的形式。 如果推动自有品牌 (Lidl、Aldi) 的主要零售商连锁店持有主要股份,就会提高自有品牌在该地区的比重。 如果超大型商场连锁和折扣店占绝大部分,且经济出现下滑,这就意味着价格是重点,并通常最终会转向自有品牌,或者至少远离排外性极高的品牌。 零售商结构较为零散的国家,通常能为制造商的品牌提供更多空间。 意大利卫生纸市场主要是品牌产品市场。 在意大利,分销商通常服务于小型商店,因此制造商品牌占主要地位。 领先的意大利生产商也非常强大,能有效保持业务经营。 如果主要的零售连锁店完全是本土化的,例如像北欧一些国家,尤其是芬兰,则说明其自有品牌的重要性尚未赶上跨国连锁店占主导地位时自有品牌的重要性。 然而,零售结构并不是影响市场划分的唯一元素。 如果其他因素的影响力超过零售商的集中影响力,某些自有品牌也可获得可观的份额。 如英国,强大的国际卫生纸品牌(如金佰利、宝洁)所塑造的市场更像美国市场,拥有强大的品牌焦点。甚至产品/种类的流行程度也紧追这些生产商,在这些方面,英国的卫生纸市场跟美国非常接近;盒装面巾纸比手帕纸更受欢迎。 其他大部分西欧国家的盒装面巾纸未能保持较大产量。 通常在较小的市场中,较为传统、能在市场中占主导地位,成为焦点的并不是大型跨国企业,而是本国企业/品牌,如斯洛文尼亚的 Paloma 公司以及芬兰的 G-P 公司和 Metsä-Tissue 公司。...

增值TRIF揭示全球贸易趋势转变

客户复杂性的增加、可持续发展能力、电子商务、创新、多元文化、人口老龄化、家庭收入减少、人口增速放缓、便利性、全球物流的增加……2014年「世界卫生纸展 - 美洲」上启动的卫生纸零售商与分销商展望论坛(TRIF)就行业的关键推动因素进行了广泛深入的展望,几乎触及全球每个人。   LYDIA WORK, 美国 AMERICAN PAPER CONVERTING总裁及创始人 居家外卫生纸业务的变化及原因 “面纸和卫生纸行业仍是一个充满活力且处于成长阶段的行业,几乎触及全球每个人。面纸和卫生纸产品中的三分之一通过分散的居家外市场流向消费者。医疗保健、合约制清洁员、工业和教育市场占据居家外销售额的57.7%。2013年度ISSA/SM卫生供应研究表明,清洁分销销售额达240亿美元,年增长率为2%。肥皂、洗手液、面纸和面巾纸等盥洗消费品销量的增加是推动市场增长的一大原因。面巾纸、面纸、厕纸以及餐巾纸等产品类别仍占据销售额的前列。” “行业竞争仍非常激烈,客户决策因大量的电子数据使用而更为成熟。如今,‘追求健康的清洁’、‘可持续发展能力’以及‘产品差异’成为市场的主要趋势。非接触式系统被广泛用于水龙头、肥皂和纸品售货机以及出入口。这些变化和趋势会对面纸和卫生纸制造商及加工商产生哪些影响?” 我们生活的世界——美国数据统计 据美国疾病控制和预防中心估计,美国每20名病人中就有1人在医院内受到感染,共导致9万人死亡。 去年共200万人患病。 据报道,2010年清洁行业记录在案的受伤人数为2.15万人,误工8.4万天,损失580万美元。清洁预算仍在削减。 概述 2012年的分销商销售额较2010年上升1.7%。目前的销售总额为240亿美元。 2012年,医疗保健、工业、合约制清洁员和教育市场占据居家外销售额的57.7%。 面巾纸、面纸和厕纸等产品仍占据销售额的前列。 可持续发展能力——对再生产品的需求持续增加,但消费者期待产品性能的提升,却不愿意为此增加花费。 产品差异。 追求健康的清洁——非接触式和受控分配。   分销商销售额(市场部门):主要部门 14.9% - 医疗 14.6% - 工业 14.5% - 合约制清洁员 13.7% - 教育 8.4% - 政府 7.9% - 零售 6.6% - 餐厅/俱乐部...
