Recently published research from Euromonitor International, "Sanitary Protection in South Africa", is now available at Fast Market Research

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/30/2014 -- Low disposable incomes mean that sanitary protection has still not reached its full potential in South Africa. Despite the category being highly sophisticated with a wide variety of products to suit all needs available in the market, many women still went without or used standard towels with wings as these is one of the most common and cheapest types of sanitary towels available. Although there is some presence of private label, namely through health and beauty specialist chains Clicks and Dis-Chem, many low-income consumers are still not purchasing these products. Low-income consumers often trust brands they already know, as although unit prices of private label are lower, they do not have money to waste trying and testing new cheaper products. In addition, private label products still have a lower quality stigma among many South African consumers. Because of this, in 2013, private label still did not have a significant presence in sanitary protection.
