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。...

价值不高或卖点不独特的产品将逐步退出市场

在严峻的英国市场,各企业竞相展开促销竞争,寻求质量、性能和价格的完美结合。 英国《Grocer》杂志专题版面副主编 Simon Creasey 总结了市场主要参与者的主要观点。 作者:Simon Creasey,《The Grocer》杂志专题版面副主编 目前,卫生纸产品零售市场环境非常严峻,尽管销售额保持不错,但部分卫生纸产品的平均价格在过去 12 个月中出现明显下滑。 根据 BrandView.com 的统计,每包纸巾的平均价格从 2012 年 3 月 3.48 英镑降到 2013 年 3 月的 3.21 英镑,在这期间,品牌产品的价格下降了 7%,自有品牌卷筒卫生纸的价格下降了...

充分利用 NBSK 纸浆打造高规格柔韧纸巾

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’。...
