Rising female literacy and awareness of menstrual health & hygiene drives the Feminine Hygiene Products Market


Literacy is a fundamental right and a springboard for eradicating poverty and broadening the mindset of society. The relationship between literacy and health has been the focus of much research and policy debates. According to UNESCO, people in the US with low literacy competency were found to be three times more likely to have an adverse health outcome as compared with those having a higher literacy rate. This also holds true in the case of women’s literacy regarding feminine health and hygiene.

Over the last decade, global agencies and organizations such as UNICEF and UNESCO have been active in raising literacy levels of young females in under-developed and developing countries as rising female literacy will have a positive impact on feminine health management. UNICEF also views menstrual health and hygiene as a fundamental right of women and girls and hence has termed it as a key objective in its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. The rising literacy level among females is expected to have a positive impact on the overall feminine health management and thus is directly linked to the adoption of feminine hygiene products. As a result, rising female literacy is expected to drive the feminine hygiene products market.
