HONG KONG, Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Brazil is the largest producing country of tissue paper in Latin America, making up 32% (1.274 million metric tonnes) of the 3.978 million metric tonne Latin American market, with 38 operating T&T mills. Following years of double-digit sales growth in value terms, Brazil's tissue and hygiene markets slowed down in 2012 and 2013. However, sales of tissue and hygiene products are expected to continue showing steady growth in constant value terms while manufacturers are giving priority to value-added products and premium brands. On a second tier level but increasingly important and growing we find Colombia, Chile and Peru, which together represent 18% of the market.
Aleksandar Tomovic, 9. Septembar -- Sales Director (Americas), on Tissue World Sao Paulo:
"We have noticed an increase of interest from South America for our tissue converting machines, and what better way to meet our clients and future clients than at Tissue World exhibit in Sao Paulo, Brazil"
