Middle East & Africa Feminine Hygiene Market Outlook, 2026

Abstract
According to the recent publication of Bonafide Research, titled ‘Middle East & Africa Feminine Hygiene Market Outlook, 2026’ the region is the least contributor in the global market which is expected to grow to a value difference of USD 2.47 Billion between 2015 and 2026. An independent study revealed that nearly two-thirds of the region’s girls avoided certain foods, drinks, and activities, including showering and performing perineal care, and practiced several indigenous rituals during the period. Mother, books, and sisters were the main sources of the girls' information. It is suggested in the region that nurses and health care providers should use all available opportunities to educate young girls about menstruation. Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common clinical problem. However, seeking medical advice might be delayed until patients develop several clinical consequences. HMB is a major clinical problem though awareness about having HMB lacks regardless of the age and education level. Raising awareness and a multidisciplinary approach may result in early diagnosis, early intervention, and reduction of clinical consequences.

A first, and very critical, the problem is limited or incorrect knowledge and information. Many girls do not understand what is happening when they start menstruating and have limited knowledge of biological processes. Mothers often do not discuss menstruation with their daughters before they have their first period. In addition to poor knowledge of menstruation, females in low- and middle-income countries are normally deprived of making use of the available resources, especially when it comes to menstruation-related hygiene issues. Within this context, no formal guidance from the schools, lack of cultural acceptance of alternative menstrual products, limited economic resources, and inadequate water and sanitation facilities are reported as major reasons.

Last, but not least, some of the most significant barriers for women in these countries are the social restrictions, beliefs, and myths that influence the management of menstruation. Menstruation is a taboo issue in the community. Seen as an impurity or even a disease, menstrual blood is managed in secret. When menstruating, women and girls are subjected to various religious, food-related, domestic, or sexual prohibitions, which often lead to further isolation or stigmatization. Increasing access to menstrual products in both developed and developing countries is a problem to which greater attention and resources need to be devoted. Improving women’s experience of menstruation globally will require a coordinated effort of policymakers in each country, the private sector, and women’s rights activists.

Moreover, countries around the region are witnessing an increasing number of promotions and educational sessions, due to the increasing prominence of social media and the various initiatives taken by the government and NGOs to increase awareness about the benefits of using menstrual hygiene products, such as sanitary napkins.
