Posted on January 19, 2022

The rising women population, growing consciousness about women’s hygiene, and supporting government initiatives are driving the Feminine Hygiene Products market growth.

The Feminine Hygiene Products Market is expected to be valued at USD 31.51 Billion in 2027 from USD 20.70 Billion in 2019, registering a CAGR of 6.1% through the forecast period. The market for feminine hygiene products is experiencing a high demand attributable to the escalating population of women, increasing awareness about women’s hygiene, and the growing level of disposable income across the world. According to the World Population report released in 2017 by the United Nations, the world population touched 7.5 billion, with 50.4% comprising men and 49.6% comprising women.

Supporting government initiatives across the world is a significant factor driving market growth. In several nations, these initiatives intend to educate women regarding hygiene, teach them the importance of sanitary napkins, and encourage them to use the napkins. This is one of the primary reasons for the exponential growth of the market. Additionally, a rising number of conferences, seminars, and campaigns across schools and colleges to educate about the usage and disposal of hygiene products is adding traction to the market growth.

However, certain health issues associated with the use of traditional women’s hygiene products, such as toxic shock syndrome and the social stigma that is often associated with the use of such products, can impede the industry’s growth over the projected timeframe.
