Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/06/2018 -- Feminine hygiene products, also referred as menstrual care products, are used by women, some transgender men, and genderqueer (non-binary) population. These include sanitary napkins/pads, tampons, panty liners, period panties, and menstrual cups. Feminine cleansing and deodorizing agents such as douche, deodorants, feminine powders, feminine soaps, feminine wipes, internal cleaners, and sprays shields are also feminine hygiene products. Sanitary pads are made from different types of materials such as quilted cotton fabrics and superabsorbent polymer layers which are impermeable to liquids. The global Feminine Hygiene Products Market is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Factors driving the global feminine hygiene products market are increasing disposable income, growing awareness about sanitization, and rising demand for products such as tampons, and panty liners in developed countries. However, conventional napkins contain several synthetic products such as rayon dioxin, allergy-provoking metal dyes, and highly processed wood pulp which are responsible for allergies, infection, and inflammation. Some of these chemicals have proven to be carcinogenic after long-term use. Health issues caused by sanitary napkins, and increasing environmental concerns are factors negatively affecting the global feminine hygiene products market.
Demand for cloth sanitary pads, pads made from organic materials & biodegradable products, among women is increasing in order to reduce health hazards caused by irritants, dyes, and harmful chemicals found in sanitary napkins or tampons. This presents lucrative opportunity for vendors to strengthen their market position through the development of premium and innovative products in this segment. Recent trend followed by manufacturers in developed countries is to maintain brand loyalty and continuous innovation, while in developing countries, these are working on spreading awareness about feminine hygiene especially in areas where cultural and regional misbeliefs dominate.
