Global Feminine Hygiene Products Market Dynamics– 

Rising female literacy and growing awareness regarding the menstrual health & hygiene is one of the forefront factors driving the market growth. Literacy is a necessary human right as well as a facilitator for combating poverty and extending society's point of view. Lots of studies and policy arguments have focused on the relationship between literacy and health. Worldwide organizations and agencies like UNICEF and UNESCO have been active in supporting the literacy levels of young women in immature and developing countries during the last ten years, taking into account that improved female literacy will improve literacy. Female literacy is anticipated to have a great impact on total feminine health management and, as a result, is clearly linked to the adoption of feminine hygiene products. As a result, this factor is driving the market development of feminine hygiene products. 

Various government programs LIKE Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28th) organized by WASH United, a German non-profit organization, are likely to elevate hygiene awareness by breaking down many related taboos, resulting in an expected increase in feminine hygiene products’ demand. The market is increasing as more people become conscious of the necessity of feminine hygiene. Period Health and Hygiene (MHH) actions are also one of UNICEF's five major aims for teenage girls in the Gender Action Plan (2018-2021), which is being developed to offer essential knowledge and develop access to menstrual care materials and services. For instance; in August 2019, there are about 4,000 students and 500 instructors in Chihuahua & Mexico City got education on healthy menstrual hygiene practices as part of a novel partnership among Essity and UNICEF. As a result, further efforts are needed. Hence, growing efforts by global healthcare players and organizations operating in the market on educating girls & women are likely to boost the adoption of feminine hygiene products.  

Despite all the above optimistic factors, the social stigma associated with menstruation and feminine hygiene products may hamper the market growth. In spite of that, developing eco-friendly feminine hygiene products may generate a plethora of opportunity for the further growth of the global feminine hygiene products market.  

Global Feminine Hygiene Products Market Regional Analysis– 

Asia Pacific is expected to capture the greatest share of the feminine hygiene products market. The huge female population in nations like India and China explains the large share. Rising disposable income, rapid urbanization, and more knowledge about menstrual hygiene management are some of the factors escalating the market growth. For example; the Indian government has announced intentions to invest USD 160 million in the Suvidha initiative, a program to ensure that women in rural areas of the country have access to sanitary napkins. The government aims to enlist the help of HNIs and corporations to help disseminate sanitary napkins to needy women throughout the country. The need for feminine hygiene products will be boosted even more as a result of these advancements.  

Europe is expected to capture a significant share of the global feminine hygiene products market due to massive awareness of menstrual health and feminine hygiene-related products in this region. In Western Europe, sanitary towels make up nearly 45% of the feminine hygiene products market, while panty shields make up approximately 37% and tampons about 18%. Interestingly, the development seems to have piqued the interest of many investors as well as the government. For example; on January 1st, 2020, Germany decreased its tax rate from 19% to 7% on female sanitary products. As a result, the importance of menstrual health has progressively enhanced among European women which is further boosting the demand for feminine hygiene products. Consequently, the market in Europe is intensifying day by day owing to the aforementioned factors.
