Rising Cases of Incontinence Boosting Global Adult Diaper Market Growth

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Adult Diaper Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027,” finds that the global adult diaper market size reached US$ 16.7 Billion in 2021. An adult diaper is a type of underwear that is worn by adults suffering from various conditions such as mobility impairment, severe diarrhea, dementia and incontinence. These diapers are made from a thick piece of soft paper or cloth and can be fastened around the waist. Adult diapers are generally used to defecate and urinate without using a toilet as the material absorbs the waste products and prevents the soiling of outer clothing. They can also be changed easily in less time, after use, regardless of the place and condition. Nowadays, adult diapers are available in the form of underpants and pads or incontinence pads, as per the comfort or requirement of the user.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report. 

Global Adult Diaper Market Trends: 

The market is driven by the increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence, especially among the geriatric population. Patients suffering from acute illnesses require assistance and thus make use of diapers, which aids in preventing leakage and provides comfort. In addition to this, adult diapers are gaining preference for non-medical purposes among divers during deep-sea diving, pilots during long flights, and workers at manufacturing sites. Moreover, the growing concern among individuals about their personal hygiene has encouraged manufacturers to introduce adult diapers that provide convenience, safety and less irritation. Furthermore, several technological advancements have also prompted them to develop diapers with gel-like polymer bead core that provides enhanced retention and fluid absorption capacity. Besides this, with the rising internet penetration, manufacturers are also taking initiatives to promote their products effectively and make them easily available across various online retail platforms. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach a value of US$ 26.1 Billion by 2027, exhibiting at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
