The global menstrual cup market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.5% and projected to reach USD 1.2 billion during the forecast period, between 2021 and 2028. The menstrual cup is a female sanitation product. It is used for collection of menstrual fluid such as blood and endometrial fluid that flows out of a female vagina every month as a result of breakdown and renewal of endometrium lining. Menstrual cup is used to prevent the viginal fluids from leaking out of the body and onto the clothes. The menstrual cup has zero amounts of harmful chemicals, additives or absorbency gels in it. The menstrual cup is shaped in the form of a bell and has a stem at its bottom. The stem makes it easier for insertion and removal of the cup. The bell shape of the cup helps seal the viginal opening to prevent any leakage of viginal fluids. As the menstrual cup is completely chemical free and has no kind of absorbents, they do not interfere with the pH level of the vagina or the bacterial balance of the reproductive organ. An average woman is estimated to use and dispose around 11,000 pads or tampons in her lifetime. The waste of the pads and tampons itself as well as the packaging produced end up in the toilets or are dumped in landfill. Thus the menstrual cups are promoted as an eco-friendly product and more reasonable than tampons and pads.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Increasing awareness about personal hygiene, government interventions & policies, increasing technological advancement are the major factors contributing to the growth of the menstrual cup market
