To provide Menstruation and SRH Consultations under Social Business Unit (SBU)
Introduction
There are around 24 million women at reproductive age in Vietnam according to MOH/GOPFP of Vietnam 2020 and total women sanitary market is around $500 million annually, of those 80% market share is belonged to Kotex Kimberly Clark and Diana local brand but now belong to Japanese owned. MOH/GOPFP also predicted that on average, Vietnam's population increases by about 1 million people each year. In the coming years, the number of women of reproductive age is expected to continue to increase and will peak in 2027-2028. Obviously, Menstrual cup market in Vietnam still small with several brands including 2 local made brands such as Beucup and Lincup. They are so active in social media and digital platforms especially Beucup as they are hiring famous KOLs for product promotion.
LA cup Luneale which PSI SBU is promoting have some advantage selling points over other products such as Moonpad© (no tail) while other product having tail; imported from France and nice design and high quality of medical silicon. Therefore, if the women decide to use menstrual cup instead of other menstruation cares, LA cup Luneale will likely to be chosen.
With that, the priority of promoting LA Cup Luneale to the market is to emphasize the use of menstrual cup among other menstruation care methods. Through collected customers insights, it is identified that the barrier of using menstrual cup is that end-user worry of how to use menstrual cup properly (safety, cleanliness...) as well as afraid of menstrual cup cannot remove after inserting. In order to educate end-users to overcome these barriers, PSI/VN would like to recruit a doctor (GURU) who are specialist in SRH – experienced in Menstrual cup study, will support SBU team to promote Menstruation care, SRH as well as other related reproductive products with below SOW in 6 months.
