Currently, the feminine hygiene market is dominated by many players. Strategic collaborations, mergers, and product launches are some of the strategies undertaken by key players in the market. For instance, in February 2019, Procter & Gamble (P&G) announced its acquisition of This is L., a period care startup that manufactures organic pads and tampons.
