Kimberly-Clark Goes Digital: How E-Commerce & Club Channels Are Driving Explosive Growth!

Kimberly-Clark’s third quarter of 2025 results depicts various dynamics in the consumer goods sector, reflecting both strategic advancements and market challenges. The company has maintained its trajectory of volume-plus mix-led growth for seven consecutive quarters, suggesting effective adaptation strategies amidst a fluctuating consumer goods landscape. This growth has been facilitated by the company’s ability to meet consumer needs across several product spectrums, illustrating positive market reception to their “good, better, best” offerings. However, Kimberly-Clark faces a competitive environment with increased promotional activities from rivals, notably in the U.S. diaper market, where competition has intensified from both domestic private labels and imported products. The company strategically deferred some promotional activities from the third to the fourth quarter to mitigate competitive pressure, which manifested as a share increase of 10 basis points in the U.S. diaper market this quarter.
