Wealthy Baby Boomers and single professionals without children are the two broad categories of female consumer in the developed world. Quality, comfort and discretion meet the needs of their busy lifestyles and allow for value-added product development.
With significant levels of social and physical activity across age groups, discretion is an important factor behind product choice. New product formats, such as Poise Impressa, are a response to modern active women’s needs.
With growing immigration and labour mobility in developed markets, it is also important to look beyond the broad female consumer types. Immigrant women have higher birth rates but lower incomes, thereby shaping the demand for nappies/diapers. Their preferences in sanitary protection can also be impacted by the country of origin and differ from native-born women.

The battleground for market penetration in developing markets is gradually shifting outside the major urban areas and middle-class households, raising the question of product access and affordability.
With poor access to leading brands, coupled with their high prices, in small towns and rural areas in developing markets, the need for low-cost products is being increasingly filled by start-ups such as Jayaashree Industries and NGOs working with local communities to install Jayaashree machines.
