Adult Diaper Market Analysis
The global adult diaper market is projected to register a CAGR of 8.92% over the next five years.
- The growing awareness of cleanliness among consumers has positively impacted the market for adult diapers. Because of increased awareness and simple product availability, the industry is also snowballing in developing nations.
- Advancements in technology have resulted in a significant rise in the geriatric population's adoption of disposable adult diapers. These diapers offer an innovative way to effectively manage the problem of incontinence as they are made using a gel-like polymer bead core that increases their absorbency capacity, which in turn provides better comfort and protection to consumers. Thus, increased demand for disposable diapers owing to their enhanced retention and fluid absorption capabilities is projected to boost market growth over the forecast period.
- Factors such as lack of awareness and social stigmas associated with incontinence, particularly in underdeveloped countries, impede the market growth. However, in collaboration with major adult diaper manufacturers, governments are undertaking initiatives to eliminate such social stigmas, which are estimated to provide significant growth opportunities for the market in underdeveloped regions.
- The COVID-19 pandemic increased consumers' awareness of using disposable hygiene products, including adult diapers, as a precautionary measure. This is driven by COVID-19 fears and emergency mandates to reduce and stop the spread of communicable diseases as hospitals are inaccessible and the growing demand for health and wellness products worldwide; this is a key factor that is anticipated to drive the growth of the market studied. Further, COVID-19 has also resulted in a generation of opportunities for many private players to emerge in the markets to cater to the inflated demand.
