The Opportunity

The region's heavy reliance on imports creates a major opportunity — with 8%+ annual market growth, Softy Panda is positioned to capture significant market share.

Import Dependency Gap

Panama currently imports approximately 95% of all tissue and hygiene paper products, creating a massive gap in local manufacturing. This extreme import dependency leaves the market vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, currency fluctuations, and rising logistics costs.
