Malaysia Diaper Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Eco-friendly Products

There is a growing trend towards green diapers in Malaysia with more environmentally conscious consumers. Parents are looking for sustainable, biodegradable, and organic diaper alternatives that help reduce their carbon footprint. Eco-friendly diapers usually consist of natural materials such as bamboo, organic cotton, and plant-based fibers thus making them a better option for babies and the environment. For instance, in March 2024, Applecrumby launched PureBasics diapers 100% chlorine-free and made using Greencore-DryT technology ensuring comfort and skin protection for babies. Co-founder Jesmine Tan emphasized the need for affordable, safe, and organic products making them accessible to all parents. The increasing demand for green goods is not merely due to environmental awareness but also to the rising demand for safer chemicals-free products for babies. This tendency is complemented by government efforts advocating sustainability and healthier lifestyles. Consequently, demand for green diapers is a main driver in the overall Malaysia diaper market growth providing new opportunities to brands to launch innovative and sustainable products to serve the needs of affluent consumers.

E-commerce Growth

E-commerce is becoming a dominant trend in the Malaysia diaper market as online platforms offer a convenient and reliable way for consumers to purchase diapers. According to the data published by the Ministry of Communications, in 2021, Malaysia's e-commerce revenue surpassed RM1 Trillion with a goal of reaching RM1.65 Trillion by 2025 as stated by MDEC CEO Mahadhir Aziz. The #SayaDigital campaign has supported 500,000 businesses resulting in more than RM4.6 Billion from 85 Million transactions. Additionally, an initiative by Meta will provide digital skills training for over 4,000 participants. The growth of online shopping is spurred by reasons like hectic lifestyles, convenience to compare prices, and the ease of accessing many brands and product lines. Customers like the ease of having diapers shipped right to their doorsteps saving them effort and time. In addition, most online shopping sites have discounts, promotions, and subscription plans making online shopping that much more attractive. Influencer marketing and social media also contribute to driving sales and awareness through digital platforms. This move towards online commerce is adding to the overall development of the Malaysia diaper market as baby diapers and adult diapers are now being bought more and more online.
