Hemp-Based Menstrual Pads Market Analysis:
The global market for hemp-based menstrual pads is undergoing significant growth, mainly driven by the increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly and sustainable menstrual products. Hemp is being preferred by both manufacturers and consumers due to its absorbance capacity. Hemp or hemp fiber is low-cost biodegradable absorbent with 1.4 absorption index. It also has antibacterial properties and good absorbency. Hemp is more water absorbent than cotton.
With the rising awareness of negative environmental impacts of traditional menstrual pads, consumers are rapidly inclining towards biodegradable alternatives. According to Stockholm Environment Institute, the prevalent use of non-recyclable and non-biodegradable disposable menstrual products, like sanitary pads and tampons, harms the environment. Their lifecycle pollutes water bodies and landfills, leading to microplastics and other environmental and health hazards. People in many countries resort to burning, burying, or disposing of these products in toilets, which negatively impacts air and soil quality and hampers sanitation systems, jeopardizing the health of both the public and waste management and sanitation workers in those communities.
Hemp is emerging as an alternative material for pads manufacturing due to its sustainable nature. Hemp has short production cycle, low capital demand in cultivation, possibility of carbon-negative transformation, biodegradability, and easy carbon sequestering material.
Additionally, the increasing concerns regarding adverse effects of traditional menstrual pads on women’s health has also propelled the manufacturers to use hemp fibers for pads manufacturing processes. According to a study, organic solvents, which sanitary pads are composed of, bring potential harmful effects on pregnancy, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurological development.
Moreover, marketing strategies concentrated around health and environmental benefits, along with penetration of e-commerce platforms, play a critical role in market growth as it aids in educating people about the benefits of using hemp-based pads and allows convenient purchase online.
Hemp-Based Menstrual Pads Market Trends:
Technological Advancements in Hemp Fiber
Advancements and innovations in the utilization and processing of hemp fiber plays a key role in the acceptance and development of hemp-based menstrual pads. Experimentations with hemp fiber are undertaken to enhance the absorbance capacity and softness of the pad, ultimately meeting the demands of modern consumers. For instance, Red Moon offers ultra-thin hemp pads that are designed for heavy flow absorption without the use of any anti-skin chemicals. These pads are 100% organic with a light and thin design to offer comfort and softness. Its key feature is that it provides ultra-absorbent leak protection and is biodegradable.
Vesa has designed hemp pads for irritation-prone and sensitive skin. These pads have antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties. The packaging is made of single-component material, making it fully recyclable.
Demand for Sustainable Products
The rising environmental concerns due to negative impact of traditional menstrual pads has boosted the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly menstrual products that can reduce environmental footprint and waste. Hemp is a sustainable plant requiring less water or pesticides in cultivation compared to cotton. It has a short growth period and almost its whole plant body has versatile utility value. Hemp material is 100% biodegradable in the soil, enriching it with microelements. One hectare of hemp yields three times more raw material for fabric production than one hectare of cotton or flax. Hence, hemp has become a preferrable choice for production of biodegradable menstrual pads production.
For instance, Himalayan Hemp offers reusable Cannabis Hemp sanitary pads that are rash resistant, UV-resistant, biodegradable, anti-inflammatory, and 100% organic.
Hempress Hygienics offer hemp pads which are a blend of hemp fiber and organic cotton. It comes in a biodegradable wrapper and its materials are plant-based pesticide free. Hempress pads are vegan, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and powered by 100% renewable energy.
Latest Industry News:
- In August 2023, Hempress Hygienics launched hemp-based menstrual and personal care products. The newly launched product line includes liners, sanitary pads, cosmetic pads, and swabs.
- In February 2024, Danish Femcare startup Mewalii introduced menstrual pads crafted from Sero regenerative hemp fibers, eliminating the use of cotton. Mewaii pads contains a 100% hemp-based core and a topsheet combining hemp and viscose for added softness. Additionally, the hemp was softened via mechanical process.
