Market Analysis

The occurrence of urinary incontinence has risen globally in the increasing population of adults, which has supported the growth of the global diaper market. In addition, high birth rates in developing nations, delaying children's toilet training, and the rising developments in the baby products shopping online have helped to boost growth in the industry. Furthermore, the demand for biodegradable diapers made from environmentally friendly materials has increased significantly. This trend has led to diaper manufacturers producing goods using raw materials that degrade much faster than conventional clothing. In addition, the continued activities for research and development (R&D) that are aimed at improving the quality of goods and the introduction of new technology into the production of diapers will further drive the diaper market growth. For example, the development of absorbing core technology to eliminate the fluff pulp has allowed thinner diapers to be manufactured.
