The menstrual cups market size was valued at US$ 1,050.81 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,644.06 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2030. The menstrual cups market growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness regarding benefits of using menstrual cups. The menstrual cups market is highly competitive, owing to many regional and global players. Players compete based on product quality, product differentiation, and price. Market players are adopting different strategies to stand out as strong competitors.
Based on type, the menstrual cups market is categorized into reusable and disposable. The reusable segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. Reusable menstrual cups represent a sustainable and cost-effective revolution in menstrual hygiene. Typically crafted from medical-grade silicone, rubber, or thermoplastic elastomers, these bell-shaped cups are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual flow rather than absorbing it like traditional tampons or pads. The flexibility and softness of the material ensure comfort and ease of use, adapting to the user's anatomy. Reusable menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, providing leak-free protection and allowing users greater flexibility in managing their periods. One of their most significant advantages is their environmental impact, as they can be reused. The cups significantly reduce the amount of menstrual waste produced, contributing to an eco-friendly menstrual care routine. In addition, the long-term cost savings and the convenience of not needing to purchase disposable products regularly make reusable menstrual cups an increasingly popular choice for users looking for sustainable and practical alternatives in menstrual hygiene.
The global menstrual cups market is segmented into five central regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. In 2022, North America region accounted for the largest share of the global menstrual cups market. The surge in demand for menstrual cups in North America can be attributed to several factors that reflect changing attitudes toward menstrual hygiene products, environmental concerns, and a need for more sustainable and cost-effective alternatives. Awareness and acceptance of menstrual cups as an eco-friendly option compared to traditional disposable products such as tampons and pads is growing across the region. Menstrual cups are reusable and long-lasting, reducing the environmental effects associated with the disposal of single-use menstrual products.
Single-use menstrual products and plastic packaging of pads, tampons, and panty liners generate more than 200,000 metric ton of waste annually. According to the data from the Harvard Business School, the US recorded the disposal of 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons in landfills, sewage lines, and oceans annually. The rising focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness has prompted many individuals to seek products that align with their values. Menstrual cups, made of medical-grade silicone or other safe materials, significantly reduce the amount of waste generated from menstrual products. This resonates with consumers increasingly making choices based on environmental considerations, leading to a shift away from disposable options.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Menstrual Cups Market
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the shutdown of manufacturing units and distribution facilities, online and offline channels, declined the demand for menstrual cups, which, in turn, restrained the menstrual cups market growth. During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, menstrual cups manufacturers were forced to scale back or halt production temporarily. However, businesses gained ground as the governments of various countries eased out the previously imposed restrictions.
Moreover, many sections of the consumer goods industry witnessed growth in demand worldwide post-recovery. As menstrual cups production regained pre-pandemic figures and is growing continuously, the market is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period.
