Moving forward, sanitary protection is expected to record marginal retail volume growth over the forecast period, led by slim/thin/ultra-thin towels and pantyliners. The pattern reflects the conflicting forces already noted pre-pandemic, with a growing menstruation-age population and continued destigmatisation and equality movement playing positive roles, while birth control practice and the rise of washable period alternatives provide competition.
The combined effect of growing women’s empowerment activism, destigmatisation of traditional taboos and pandemic-fuelled self-care awareness has contributed to new product designs and expansion to provide holistic care for local consumers of sanitary protection. For example, start-up Sequal received seed funding in 2022 to develop its tampons with a spiral design that ensures even and maximum liquid absorption without leakage.
Although the leakproof segment remains small compared to traditional sanitary protection, as its target audience becomes younger and features a go-to-consumer channel heavily focused online, its popularity will continue to grow. Indeed, a slew of small to large hygiene and apparel players such as Essity, Kimberly-Clark, adidas and Victoria’s Secret among others, have added leakproof options to their product portfolios through research and development investment and mergers and acquisitions.
