Reusable nursing pads are a sort of feminine hygiene product composed of various materials such as organic cotton, organic bamboo, special polymer, and others. During periods, they absorb menstrual blood and other fluids. Reusable nursing pads can be sold online as well as offline. The market's expansion can be ascribed to rising disposable income, expanding awareness of the benefits of utilizing reusable nursing pads, and rising demand for eco-friendly products. The global reusable nursing pad market is divided into three sections: type, application, and geography. Organic cotton nursing pads, organic bamboo nursing pads, unique polymer nursing pads, and other types dominate the market.

The increased awareness about environmental sustainability and the health benefits of reusable nursing pads might be contributed to the market's rise. Because reusable nursing pads are more likely to be used than disposable ones, an increasing number of working women are driving demand for them. Throughout the forecast period, its eco-friendliness and biodegradability make it an appealing alternative for consumers looking for sustainable products. The segment of special polymer nursing pads accounted for a small share but is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period due to its ability to absorb liquid quickly and provide leakage protection while maintaining breathability, making it an appealing option among consumers looking for leak-proof products that are comfortable enough not to cause skin irritation or rashes on sensitive skin areas such as breasts or nipples.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Disruptions to Hinder Market Growth

There is no doubt that the epidemic has been difficult for companies in the consumer goods sector in some way. According to Institute for supply management data, supply chain disruptions have popped up all over the world, forcing organizations to decrease revenue targets by an average. Several industries, such as domestic cleaning and frozen food, have enjoyed rises in consumer demand and have faced the mainly positive challenge of maintaining supply. Some, on the other hand, have experienced abrupt decreases in sales and significantly reduced foot traffic in retail outlets. Most of this is due to COVID-19's hastened transition to a mostly online environment. Businesses have to adapt their product offerings and implement digital-first strategies.

LATEST TRENDS

Natural Fibers present in the product to Attract Consumers

Reusable nursing pads are identical to disposable nursing pads; however, they are healthier and more breathable. Cloth nursing pads, because they are comprised of natural fibers, allow for improved air circulation, which is required to aid in the healing of painful nipples. Instead of throwing these away, simply wash and dry them with your baby's clothes. Not only would reusing your pads help the environment, but it will also help your skin and save you money. Washable nursing pads are significantly less expensive. If you have more children in the future, you already have nursing pads that are long-lasting.

DRIVING FACTORS

High Expenses Connected with Online Healthcare Services to Propel Market Growth

The global reusable nursing pad market is divided into offline and online sales depending on application. Due to the high expenses connected with online healthcare services, offline sales dominated the total market in terms of revenue share. The offline sale allows consumers to physically feel and inspect the quality of products, increasing their purchasing power and increasing demand for these products among other consumers. Online sales are expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to various benefits associated with this mode of transaction such as convenience, accessibility, ease of payment options, and order tracking information that can be viewed from a smartphone or computer screen without having to contact customer service representatives. This strategy also helps to eliminate any type of human contamination while handling medical equipment, boosting its reliability and resulting in rising demand for reusable nursing pads globally over the forecast period across all regions.

Lower Cost When Compared to Disposables to Provide Impetus to the Market

Organic cotton nursing pads are manufactured entirely of organic cotton and contain no hazardous chemicals. These products have various advantages over standard disposables, including the capacity to be reused multiple times, lower cost when compared to disposables, and the ability to be composted after use. Organic bamboo breastfeeding pads are composed of 100% organic bamboo and are the most environmentally friendly material. They have a wide range of applications in the market for reusable nursing pads. Organic bamboo is hypoallergenic, antibacterial, antifungal, and skin-friendly. It has great absorbency, which keeps a baby's skin dry and comfortable.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Air Movement to Impede Market Expansion

The reusable pads are not available in discredited sanitary bags; thus, they need to be kept in a safe and dry environment before use while traveling or being outdoors. They are comparatively thick and less absorbent than the disposable breast pads. Because of the lack of air movement, these pads are not breathable. Disposable Breast Pads are relatively costly.

  • A National Retail Federation–cited survey shows about 60% of consumers resist switching to reusable pads due to perceived upfront cost burdens.
  • According to the American Pregnancy Association, 45% of respondents were unaware reusable nursing pads existed, indicating strong resistance from lack of consumer education.
