Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown.
Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.
This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1. 19 billion in 2011 to £1. 12 billion in 2015 , according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2016.
In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2% , with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.
Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."
While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).
One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers, 81 % of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper. [br] What can we infer from the last paragraph?
选项
A、More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.
B、Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.
C、Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.
D、Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.
答案
D
解析
推理题。最后一段第一句指出,1/10的购买者把利用再生纸制造的卫生卷纸列为首选,这突出表明,相比环境,购买者更加关注商品质量的现象是很普遍的。由此可知,英国人购买卫生纸时关注的是质量而非环境保护问题,故答案为D。原文提到只有1/10的人会选择购买再生纸,A项与原文不符,故排除。最后一段最后一句指出,制造商面临的挑战是,81%的纸制品用户说,如果再生纸在质量上比得上标准纸,他们会考虑购买再生纸,B项与原文不符,故排除。C项原文未提及,故排除。
