Tampons Market to Reach 2.4 billion by 2010 According to New Report...



Tampon, the sanitary protection product, has gained mixed reviews since its introduction in 1930s. The product is used extensively by women in developed countries including the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. However, the use of tampons in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Eastern Europe is limited due to cultural and cost-related factors. Of the 1.7 billion potential market size, only 100 million women use tampons, reflecting a poorly penetrated market.



Europe and the United States account for more than 3/4th of the world tampons market (http://www.strategyr.com/Tampons_Market_Report.asp), as stated in a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Europe represents the largest market for tampons, with an estimated $1.1 billion in sales for 2008. In the United States, more than 70% of women in the US use tampons. Rising levels of consumer education, and growing awareness regarding hygiene products are the major factors contributing to the rising demand for sanitary protection products, including tampons. Moreover, increasingly active lifestyles and the growing proportion of female athletes has contributed to the higher demand for tampons.



Recurrence of TSS cases in recent years has affected tampon sales, with women shifting to alternatives such as sanitary pads. However, innovations and improved product designs, besides increase in unit prices are expected to push value sales. Scented tampons, and tampons that expand width wise for enhanced comfort are few innovations, which have proved beneficial for tampon companies. Innovative products introduced by a company is replicated and offered by almost all the players in tampon market. Novel variations such as biodegradable and flushable tampons, light absorbency products and plastic applicators have facilitated growth of the tampon segment in the recent past.
