Driving Factors

Reusability and Long Lifespan are Key Features Driving Shift in Preference

A menstrual cup is a revolutionary feminine hygiene product designed to be inserted into the vaginal canal, creating a leak-proof seal, and accumulating menstrual blood during a woman's menstrual cycle. These products are typically made from medical-grade silicone, rubber, or elastomer, and  serve to provide a sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to disposable tampons and pads, and reusable menstrual cups are highly durable, and can last for between six months to 10 years with appropriate care.

Menstrual fluid is collected in the cups rather than being absorbed like occurs in pads and tampons, which reduces risk of leaks and minimizes odor. Menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, offering long-lasting protection. The two main types of menstrual cups in the market are bell-shaped and V-shaped. Bell-shaped cups are the most common, while the V-shaped cups are designed to accommodate a lower cervix. Both types come in various sizes to cater to different flow levels and body shapes, offering a customizable and sustainable solution for menstruation management.

Growth Opportunity

Marketing and Awareness Campaigns and Promotions Can Open Revenue Opportunity

Regional Analysis

Demand Steady in Developing Countries But Concept Yet To Catch On In Others

The market for menstrual cups in developed regions such as North America and Europe is significantly more lucrative due to greater awareness of sustainability and menstrual health. Consumers in countries in these regions are increasingly opting for more eco-friendly options and products, and preference for menstrual cups is comparatively higher than that in a number of countries in other regions. Key factors driving preference are cost-effectiveness of products and reduced environmental impact due to reusability. This trend has led to substantial revenue growth as companies cater to this rising demand with offerings of a diverse range of cup and shape options.

However, adoption of menstrual cups in emerging markets such as parts of Asia and Africa is on the rise, but still relatively low compared to that in developed economies. Cultural taboos and limited access to menstrual hygiene education are major factors restraining adoption of products that are considered too ‘western’ or unconventional. In order to overcome such limitations in adopting more conventional practices, some initiatives led by NGOs and governments are playing a crucial role in increasing awareness and accessibility to products in these markets. Besides making these products available to consumers at affordable costs, focus is being directed on conducting educational programs, empowering women to make informed choices and decisions, and bringing to the fore the advantages these products offer overall.
