The global feminine intimate care market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.33 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 2.8% over the forecast period. Rising inclination of women towards female hygiene products owing to increasing risk of health issues in the intimate area leading to various skin diseases has fueled the market growth.
According to the findings, rise in the average age of early puberty has been observed. The average age of puberty among women has decreased to 10 to 11 years, which earlier was 13 years. Unhealthy food habits, obesity, and stress are the main reasons responsible for early puberty in girls.
Developing countries such as Afghanistan, Cambodia, India, and China lack proper hygienic conditions and sanitation facilities. The government is taking initiatives to increase awareness amongst women regarding hygiene products such as intimate wash in rural areas. For instance, the UNICEF organized the Global interfaith WASH Alliance (GIWA) in India to influence the women to maintain hygiene and raise awareness regarding dressing topics such as menstruation.
The female intimate wash accounted for the largest share of 38.4% in 2018. According to a report by Chem Fatale, approximately 40% of American females use intimate wash to keep the area clean and fresh. Intimate wipes are anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period. According to studies, more than 10% to 15% of women in America use wipes out of which Latina women are the prime users of the wipes.
