Global Feminine Hygiene Products Market 

Growth Drivers

Increasing awareness related to menstrual hygiene surge the demand of the market

One of the most common but important factors motivating the acceptance of feminine hygiene is the safety and well-being of women during the menstruation cycle. Every month women must go through this regular process, and it becomes tremendously important to keep hygiene during periods to avoid contamination. Increasing alertness among women about keeping hygiene is another factor, which is creating a positive influence on the overall market for feminine hygiene products. Altering lifestyle and growing per capita income is also increasing the development of feminine hygiene products across the globe. Feminine hygiene products such as tampons, sanitary napkins, and menstrual cups are user-welcoming and easily available. Feminine hygiene products are easy to transmit and dispose thus making them convenient for the user. The government’s initiative in spreading awareness about upholding hygiene especially among school girls is predictable to boost the development of feminine hygiene products.

Rise in the number of working women

As an increasing number of women are becoming monetarily independent, the top players are trying to mark them directly and affect their purchasing behavior, which, in turn, is providing an increase to the sales of feminine hygiene products. An increasing number of working women populations is foremost to the rising awareness concerning feminine hygiene products in countries such as India and China.

Restraint

This has caused in growing preference for homemade sanitary clothes that is probable to hinder the development of the feminine hygiene products market. Moreover, the steady use of sanitary napkins or tampons spread allergies among women owing to the material used while manufacturing the product.

Impact of COVID-19 in industry

The growing demand for vital FMCG products amid the novel coronavirus has resulted in the high prices of commodities in the hypermarkets/supermarkets. The hoarding of goods by people in the wake of indefinite lockdown proclaimed by the government agencies globally has caused disturbances in the supply and request of the products. This is predictable to obstruct the development of the market to some extent. However, the growing focus on replenishing the stores with customer goods, and the shared efforts by the government and companies to improve the economy will donate to the market development soon.
