Menstrual Cup Market Analysis:

The market for menstrual cups is experiencing steady growth, driven by the increasing awareness of environmental issues, along with several consumers shifting toward sustainable products. Menstrual cups, which are reusable and can last for several years, offer a significant reduction in waste compared to disposable sanitary products such as tampons and pads. According to the Mooncup Co., each woman uses around 11,000 disposable period products in her menstruating life. With the global menstruating population of 1,8 billion, this results in a huge environmental impact. According to a UN-sponsored report, 49 billion single-use period products are used every year in the EU. Disposable tampons and pads are the most used period products. Tampons and pads can contain up to 90% plastic, excluding the wrappers, applicators, and backing strips. Compared to this, the environmental impact of a reusable menstrual cup is only 1.5% of the impact of disposable period products and costs around 10% of the price in a year of usage.

Menstrual Cup Market Trends:

Rising Awareness and Education About Menstrual Cups

The market is also driven by the growing effort from several companies and community groups to educate people about menstrual cups including how to use them and their benefits. This increased awareness, combined with the rise of social media as a platform for sharing personal experiences and information, is helping more women consider and switch to menstrual cups. According to an article by Dr, Priyadharshini S M in The News Minute, in India, about 78% of women use hygienic methods of menstrual protection, out of which 64.4% use sanitary pads, 15% use locally prepared napkins, 1.7% use tampons, and only 1% use menstrual cups. Although menstrual cups were first introduced 100 years ago in India, only 1-2% of women use them.

Growing Focus on Health and Comfort

Menstrual cups are often marketed as safer and more comfortable alternatives to traditional menstrual products which is further influencing its demand across the globe. They are made from medical grade silicon, latex, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which reduces the risk of allergic reaction and Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) associated with tampons. For instance, in December 2023, The Flex Company (Flex), the leading sustainable period care brand, unveiled a major stride in women's health with the acquisition of Allbodies Inc. (Allbodies), a trailblazer in reproductive and sexual health education. This game-changing move amplifies Flex's mission to empower menstruators with comprehensive health solutions. It is the Company's third strategic acquisition.
