Since the health and well-being of their children remains a crucial issue for the majority of parents in Estonia, baby and child-specific products experienced strong growth during 2012. Although volume sales in the category did increase, much of the strong retail value growth registered in the category during 2012 was the result of unit price growth and the slight shift towards more expensive brands. For example, many Estonian mothers have recently been evaluating the potential value of more natural and organic child-specific products. In addition, the relatively strong support for new parents by the Estonian Government has improved in recent years due to the introduction of various parental benefits. This has in turn enabled many Estonian parents to focus on having children and starting a family without worrying about losing their jobs or suffering a loss in wages. As such, in recent years the number of births in Estonia has been improving and Estonia?s birth rate increased the first time again in 2010 in 20 years.

Low disposable incomes mean that sanitary protection has still not reached its full potential in South Africa. Despite the category being highly sophisticated with a wide variety of products to suit all needs available in the market, many women still went without or used standard towels with wings as these is one of the most common and cheapest types of sanitary towels available.
