Source and evidence
Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “other non-durable household goods” changed +2.6% (12 months to Oct 2024, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per unit by +25.0% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
What the source says
“…Was sagt der Hersteller dazu? Essity spricht von steigenden Kosten für Energie, Rohstoff und Transport und dass die Großpackung im April 2023 auf 16 Rollen umgestellt worden sei. Die unverbindliche Preisempfehlung pro Rolle habe sich dabei nicht verändert.”
