From a quarterly perspective, the seasonal fluctuation of product demand in the disposable sanitary products industry is small. For the corresponding consumer groups, women's sanitary napkins, baby diapers and other products have a certain rigid demand attribute. According to the company's historical data, it can be found that although there is no seasonal fluctuation in demand, because brands and channel chambers of Commerce carry out large-scale promotional activities to guide demand at specific time points such as "double 11", consumers will stock up and buy at the promotion node because they predict their consumption demand within a certain period of time. In addition, compared with women's sanitary products, the demand for baby diapers is more affected by seasonal fluctuations, and the sales volume is usually higher in autumn and winter. In the second and third quarters of 2021, the revenue increment narrowed slightly, which was consistent with the background of less promotional activities and weakening demand for diapers. After entering the fourth quarter, the demand in autumn and winter was large, superimposed with online promotion activities, and the revenue growth increased by a certain margin month on month. 22q1's revenue growth slowed down under the dual effects of the high base and the impact of the epidemic in the first quarter of last year.
