The market growth may be hindered by factors such as the high cost of menstrual products, especially in developing countries where affordability is a major concern for a large percentage of the population.

The North America menstrual hygiene management market is experiencing steady growth due to increasing awareness about menstrual hygiene and rising adoption of feminine hygiene products in countries like the U.S. and Canada.

The Menstrual Hygiene Management Market is segmented by product into sanitary pads, tampons, menstrual cups, pantyliners, menstrual underwear, and others.
