Wipes Market Analysis

The Wipes Market size is estimated at USD 21.65 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 28.21 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.44% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Growing hygiene awareness among consumers and the fact that wipes support convenience in cleaning as they are handy and easily disposable are a few major factors driving the growth of the wet wipes market globally. Additionally, in the last few years, various kinds of wipes, such as intimate, wet, flushable, feminine, and scented wipes, have been introduced owing to their diversified applications, addressing various consumer needs that have expanded the market’s scope.

The booming personal care industry, with new product launches featuring enticing active ingredients and impactful results, has positively impacted the sales and production of products such as facial and cosmetic wipes. For instance, according to the Japan Hygiene Products Industry Association (JHPIA), in FY 2022, the production volume of cosmetic wet wipes in Japan amounted to around 112 million pieces, the highest in a decade. Consequently, companies like Hindustan Unilever and Procter and Gamble offer facial wipes with ingredients like chamomile, white tea extract, and vitamin complexes, thereby increasing their demand in the market.

Moreover, the market is witnessing a demand for varied wipes made using fibers and materials that are eco-friendly and sustainable. The environmental impact of disposable wipes, particularly those that are not biodegradable, has led to this growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives, creating a shift in consumer preferences in the market studied. For instance, in September 2023, TERRA introduced its premium-certified organic biodegradable baby wipes in the Indian market. The company claimed that natural and plant-based organic ingredients were used in its baby wipes and facial wipe products. It has a presence across countries such as New Zealand and the United States. Additionally, according to the company, TERRA wipes are not just 100% biodegradable. They also break down 10 times faster than regular wipes, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for a cleaner planet.

Wipes Industry Overview

The global wet wipes market stands to be fragmented, with competition among a few market players to increase their share in the market studied. In terms of share, the market is dominated by players such as The Procter & Gamble Company, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever PLC, and Diamond Wipes International. The key players operating in the global wipes market have been majorly adopting strategies like product launches, expansions, mergers and acquisitions, and partnerships. Companies have been strengthening their position in the market by acquiring other players operating in the market studied. For instance, in April 2022, Kimberly-Clark’s brand Cottonelle enhanced its product for a worry-free flush. The company claims that its flushable wipes aim to break down like toilet paper. Moreover, in August 2022, Kimberly-Clark, including Andrex, Kleenex, and Huggies, partnered with Carlton Power to supply hydrogen to the company’s manufacturing facility at Barrow-in-Furness in the United Kingdom.
