Period care products are used to maintain personal hygiene during the time of menstruation, to clean vaginal discharge, and other discharge related to vulva and vagina. Sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners & shields, period underwear, and menstrual cups are collectively termed as period care products. Amongst these, sanitary pads are majorly used products at the time of menstruation and are available in variety of sizes, shapes, and absorption levels. As these products provide exclusive protection against leakage, they are highly preferred by women. Since past few years, the period care products market has witnessed significant growth in Australia and is expected to witness notable growth in foreseeable years, owing to increase in personal health and hygiene concerns and awareness among women population.
Rapid pace of urbanization and increased awareness about menstruation care, and maintaining personal hygiene boost the demand for period care products in Australia. Moreover, increase in number of working women in Australia, rise in preference for easy-to-use sanitary napkins, and surge in disposable income have propelled the growth of the Australia period care products market in the past few years. The challenges for the industry growth include increase in health concerns due to the kind of raw materials being used in the hygiene products and aging population in several countries. Furthermore, the decrease in population of Australia is projected to hinder the growth of the period care market. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there was a 3% decrease in births in 2019 from 2018.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 adversely impacted the Australia period care market in 2020. The restriction on movement, curfews, and lockdowns resulted in the partial or complete shutdown of manufacturing facilities and acute labor shortages. This resulted in the rise in prices of the period care products in Australia in the initial phase of COVID-19.
The Australia period care market is segmented on the basis of product type and distribution channel. By product type, the market is categorized into sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners & shields, period underwear, and menstrual cups.

By distribution channel, the market is divided into discount department store, department store, grocery store, pure play online, dollar stores, specialty/independent store, retail pharmacy, brick mortar online, and convenience store.
