SANITARY PROTECTION IN SINGAPORE
KEY DATA FINDINGS
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
Digital native brands seek an offline channel and presence through partnerships with local distributors
Herbal products are passe, with brands opting for silver ions and cooling top layer
Several independent retailers seek to cross-sell multiple sanitary protection products to a single consumer
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Marketing strategies can highlight the presence of sustainable and unbleached cotton in the manufacturing process
Despite the drive towards premiumisation, a 'good-enough' product is still attractive to consumers
Preference amongst adolescents for sanitary reusables could pose a threat to established consumer brands

NAPPIES/DIAPERS/PANTS IN SINGAPORE
KEY DATA FINDINGS
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
Growth in sales as consumers are unable to purchase nappies/diapers from neighbouring Malaysia
Reliance on e-commerce due to price differences, causing niche brands to gain traction amongst parents
Difficulty quantifying absorbency leads brands to differentiate through proprietary materials and cotton quality
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Amidst consumer demand, there is a gap in the existing market for 'good-enough' nappy/diaper options
Adoption of cloth nappies/diapers will stagnate as infants and toddlers go to childcare centres
Players could seek to experiment with loyalty programmes and partnerships with e-commerce marketplaces

RETAIL ADULT INCONTINENCE IN SINGAPORE
KEY DATA FINDINGS
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
A shift towards e-commerce proves fortuitous for smaller players as it highlights existing price differences
Recurring movement restrictions, coupled with the vulnerability of older generations, translates into stockpiling behaviour
Value propositions of light incontinence products are drastically different from expectations from moderate/heavy offerings
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Growing demand for low-cost alternatives from consumers due to their current absence from the category
Marketing collateral could pivot towards targeting key decision-makers, including caregivers and children of senior citizens
Despite increasing global innovation, new product developments are a relatively uncommon sight

WIPES IN SINGAPORE
KEY DATA FINDINGS
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
Due to large formats, baby wipes are an affordable and convenient alternative to general purpose wipes
Wipes are often the first stop for brands seeking to diversify their existing product offerings
With similar product claims and positioning, country of origin holds sway in purchasing decisions
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Value sales will increase in the forecast period, but polyester shortage likely to continue
Increasing adoption of alternatives such as muslin may pose a threat to facial cleansing wipes
