Impact of COVID-19 on the global menstrual cup market:

The impact of COVID-19 on the menstrual cup market is unknown, although it is projected to last for the next few months.

In addition, governments worldwide were obliged to enforce stringent lockdowns and limit the import-export of non-essential products because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in a sharp drop in the supply of critical raw materials. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on the menstrual cup market.
