Global Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine Market Definition

A sanitary napkin vending machine is a self-service automated machine that dispenses sanitary napkins upon receiving cash, coins, or online payments. They can operate with or without electricity. They can be easily installed in public spaces such as bus stops, metro stations, schools, colleges, etc., to help women when they are in need of sanitary napkins.

These machines have become increasingly popular around the globe in recent years as there has been an increase in awareness regarding menstrual hygiene and more people are willing to talk about menstrual products. These machines are made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, which is a material similar to strong plastic and steel. This material makes the machine weatherproof and also prevents it from the risk of vandalization. Technological advancements have made these machines more user-friendly and popular.

Global Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine Market Overview

Rising awareness about sanitary napkins and their benefits, change in consumer mindset, and government initiatives are some of the major factors driving the market. Marketing and Advertising campaigns carried out by companies have increased the awareness about Sanitary Napkins in the general public. People are now more aware of menstrual hygiene, the benefits of using sanitary napkins, and the infections caused by cloth napkins and other unhygienic alternatives.

There has also been a shift in consumer mindset, the stigma around menstrual products has been broken and people are willing to talk about it more openly. In addition to this, the governments of countries like India are running campaigns to highlight the importance of menstrual hygiene as well as the benefits of using sanitary napkins. They have also resorted to installing sanitary napkin vending machines in schools and colleges so that a woman’s education isn’t hampered for such reasons. As a result, they are incentivizing the installation of sanitary napkin vending machines. These factors are expected to proliferate the market.

However, unwillingness to use sanitary napkins and increasing costs of sanitary napkins are anticipated to restrain the market growth. A huge chunk of the rural population living in Asia is uncomfortable and unwilling to switch to sanitary napkins as opposed to the conventional products that they use. Moreover, governments of a lot of countries have placed menstrual hygiene products under the category of “luxury products”. As a result, a greater rate of tax is levied on such products which makes them expensive. These factors are expected to act as growth deterrents.
