Shift Toward Eco-Friendly and Recycled Paper Products
Environmental awareness is influencing purchasing preferences in Mexico, with increasing demand for sustainable and biodegradable paper napkin options. Consumers are showing interest in products made from recycled fibers or certified sustainable pulp sources. This is prompting manufacturers to invest in greener production methods and to promote certifications such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Retailers and food outlets are also aligning with sustainability goals by switching to eco-labeled napkins. Government policies supporting waste reduction and single-use plastic alternatives further reinforce the trend. The shift supports Mexico paper napkins market growth by opening premium product segments that cater to environmentally conscious consumers, while also aligning corporate social responsibility goals with product development. For instance, Valmet is set to deliver its seventh tissue production line to Papel San Francisco in Mexicali, Mexico. The new Advantage DCT 100TS machine, designated as TM 10, is scheduled to start up in Q2 2025. This installation will add 30,000 tons per year to the company's existing production of toilet tissue, kitchen towels, and napkins. The machine features Valmet's advanced technology, including the 100th ViscoNip press, known for its flexibility, uniformity, and energy efficiency.
Growth of Organized Retail and Private Label Brands
The expansion of organized retail formats—supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores—is boosting the availability and visibility of paper napkins in Mexico. Major retailers are increasing shelf space for hygiene products, including napkins, while also launching their own private label offerings to compete on price and quality. These store brands often target value-conscious consumers and introduce bulk packaging options that increase volume sales. Additionally, promotional pricing and bundling with complementary products such as paper towels or disposable cutlery are attracting consumer attention. This distribution shift not only improves accessibility but also drives price competition, supporting Mexico paper napkins market growth across multiple price segments and consumption occasions. For instance, in May 2024, APRIL Group, a major global pulp and paper producer, acquired a controlling stake in India's leading tissue brand, Origami. The deal supports APRIL’s strategy to expand in populous markets like India, following investments in China, Southeast Asia, and Brazil. The partnership aims to boost local production, sustainable innovation, and access to high-quality tissue products.
