Highlights of the Indian sanitary napkin market:

  • Rising awareness regarding the feminine hygiene is a major growth-inducing factor.
  • Disposable menstrual pads represent the largest product type.
  • Maharashtra is the leading market, holding the majority of the market share.


The growth of the Indian sanitary napkin market is being majorly driven by a rapid rise in awareness about feminine hygiene. There is also an increase in the number of women in rural areas who are able to afford sanitary napkins at an affordable price. This has, in turn, augmented the demand for sanitary napkins in remote areas. In addition to this, several promotional activities and initiatives have been taken by the Government, NGOs and sanitary napkin manufacturers towards educating women regarding personal hygiene. Another factor which is strengthening the growth of the market is the recent shift towards reusable sanitary napkins owing to the growing environmental concerns. As a result, the Indian sanitary napkin market is further expected to reach a value of around US$ 631 Million by 2023, exhibiting a CAGR of more than 6% during 2018-2023.
