Rising Cases of Incontinence Boosting Global Adult Diaper Market Growth

Adult diaper refers to a type of underwear which is used by people suffering from problems such as incontinence, dementia, mobility injury and severe diarrhea. Apart from this, it is also worn by astronauts, guards on long duties, divers under their diving suits and other long-hour workers.

The development of convenient and easy-to-wear thin diapers with improved fluid absorption and retention abilities has influenced the sales of adult diapers.
