Mexico Diaper Market Trends:

Expansion of Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable Diapers

Environmental concerns and consumer demand for sustainable products have prompted brands in Mexico to introduce eco-friendly and biodegradable diaper alternatives. These products utilize organic cotton, plant-based liners, and compostable materials to reduce landfill waste. The trend is gaining traction among environmentally conscious parents, particularly in urban centers where awareness of ecological impact is higher. For instance, a 2025 study indicated that 60% of Millennials and 59% of Gen Z are open to spending more on sustainable products and services. Additionally, 81% of Millennials and 79% of Gen Z believe companies have a responsibility to do more in helping consumers make environmentally conscious buying choices. Manufacturers are marketing these products with certifications and transparency about ingredient sourcing. This shift has created a niche yet expanding market segment, prompting both multinational and local players to invest in green innovation. Additionally, regulatory emphasis on reducing plastic waste is encouraging retailers to prioritize environmentally responsible products, signaling further momentum for biodegradable diaper adoption in Mexico’s hygiene segment.

Growth of Adult Incontinence Products

The adult diaper segment in Mexico is witnessing accelerated growth, driven by a rising elderly population and increased healthcare awareness. For instance, according to the data by Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), in 2024, individuals aged 65 and older made up 8.2% of the overall population in Mexico. As lifestyles evolve and chronic conditions such as diabetes and mobility-related issues become more common, the demand for discreet, comfortable, and absorbent incontinence solutions is rising. Marketing campaigns targeting caregivers and healthcare institutions are boosting product visibility and acceptance. Furthermore, improved product design—featuring thinner profiles, odor control, and better fit—has made adult diapers more socially acceptable. Retailers are also expanding shelf space for adult incontinence products in pharmacies and supermarkets. These developments position the segment as a key driver in the broader diaper market, contributing to year-round demand beyond the infant demographic.

Digitization of Retail and Subscription Models

Digital retailing is reshaping diaper distribution in Mexico, with more consumers purchasing through e-commerce platforms and mobile apps. For instance, in April 2024, Soft N Dry Diapers Corp. and its subsidiary in Mexico launched a new B2B partner portal, ecoFlexCore.com, to support baby diaper manufacturers in Canada, the US, and Mexico. The portal facilitates ordering and production of the company’s tree-free, eco-friendly diapers using ecoFlex Core, a proprietary pulp-free material. The platform will scale commercially through 2024, offering digital tools like invoicing, messaging, and supply chain tracking. Additionally, subscription models offering periodic deliveries of diapers are gaining popularity for their convenience and cost-effectiveness. These services often provide customization based on baby age or incontinence needs, coupled with discounts and flexible delivery options. Major online retailers and direct-to-consumer brands are leveraging data analytics to refine offerings and enhance customer experience. Additionally, digital channels facilitate consumer education through reviews, parenting tips, and comparison tools, which influence buying decisions. The integration of digital payment options and reliable last-mile logistics has further reinforced the shift towards online diaper purchases, particularly among tech-savvy urban parents.
