The industry benefits from supportive trends:

  • Resilience due to the essential nature of the products (hygiene basics), further augmented in the case of white label products in times of recession
  • Ageing population in western countries, benefiting the Adult Incontinence segment
  • Population growth and increasing adoption of hygienic products in emerging markets.

Ontex could benefit from these trends thanks to a further repositioning of its business:

  • Increase market share of both white label brands (mainly in Europe, resilient in a recession) and own brands (to capture growth outside of recessions)
  • Premiumization of its products through innovation
  • Greater exposure to growing products and categories (including adult incontinence, baby pants and digital)
  • Opportunity to enter new geographies (including North America).

The group has potential to increase its margin, through efficiencies and savings programs.
