Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2014 -- Some brands are not widely sold through hypermarkets or supermarkets, such as Japlo from Takaso Rubber Products and Hana from Hana Corp (M). These brands are sold in more-rural areas and some minimarkets as these types of products do not generate a high turnover for their companies compared with other tissue products, such as boxed facial tissues. Towards the end of the review period, some cotton products imported from other countries, such as China, began to be sold through hypermarkets and supermarkets.

Competitive Landscape

The leading player within cotton wool/buds/pads product in 2013 continued leading by Wang-Zheng Corp with a 23% value share, which was contributed by the brands Carina and Carefeel. The company managed to post an increase in its value share while Halex Woolton (M) Sdn Bhd saw a drop in value share from 18% in 2012 to 17% in 2013. It can be attributed to the promotion and wide distribution channels which have been successfully implemented by Wang-Zheng Corp as the company remained as the top player in cotton wool/buds/pads.
