Investment Rating - The report suggests that the sanitary napkin industry is in a product-driven era, with leading brands generally adopting a big product strategy [1]. Core Insights - The key to successful big products lies in differentiated positioning and continuous iteration. Differentiated positioning focuses on advanced skin feel, safety, and enhanced efficacy as critical competitive factors for future sanitary napkin brands. Continuous iteration is essential for extending the lifecycle of big products [2]. - The penetration rate of sanitary napkin products is nearing its peak, with limited growth potential in volume. According to Euromonitor, the CAGR for the Chinese sanitary napkin industry from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be 3.5%, driven entirely by price increases [1][2]. - Leading brands are adopting a big product strategy primarily due to intense industry competition, consumer demand for functional products, and the high-frequency consumption characteristics of sanitary napkins [1]. Summary by Sections - **Differentiated Positioning**: The differentiation in sanitary napkins is currently reflected in four dimensions: skin feel, shape, safety, and efficacy. Advanced skin feel, safety, and enhanced efficacy are identified as key selling points for future competition among brands [2]. - **Continuous Iteration**: Product iteration is crucial for the longevity of big products. Iteration typically involves upgrading existing innovations and expanding into new innovation dimensions. For instance, the "Free Point Probiotics" series represents an upgrade in efficacy, while "Sofy Super Sleep" expands its innovation to include antibacterial properties [2]. - **Revenue Potential**: It is estimated that the largest single product series from leading sanitary napkin brands accounts for at least 30% of their revenue, potentially reaching up to 4 billion yuan [2].
