Everyone knows the world has changed immensely since the pandemic, but how can we distill the relevant questions for the absorbent hygiene products industry? This presentation from Price Hanna Consultants takes a systematic approach that compares five dimensions that determine the growth prospects for our industry in seven key regions: China, India, North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa. The five dimensions of our analysis are: Demographics and Demand, Capacity and Technology, Economic Development, Geopolitics and Trade, and Climate Change. For the absorbent hygiene industry, there are opportunities for growth around the globe. While the keys to success are known, some of the key questions and variables have changed.
