Rising Demand for Adult Incontinence Products
One of the key trends defining Taiwan's diaper market is growing demand for adult incontinence products, driven by the nation's fast-aging population. Taiwan boasts one of the highest aging rates in Asia, resulting in expanding needs for discreet, high-absorbency, and skin-friendly adult diapers. Manufacturers are reacting by creating specialized product lines that focus on comfort, ease of use, and odor control. Public health campaigns and healthcare professionals are also helping reduce the stigma associated with incontinence, encouraging early adoption of such products. Additionally, government support for elderly care and reimbursement policies further stimulate market uptake. This demographic-driven trend is a vital contributor to Taiwan diaper market growth, as it broadens the target audience beyond infants to meet the evolving needs of older consumers. For instance, in March 2024, Oji Holdings, a Japanese diaper brand with significant presence in Taiwan, announced a strategic shift in focus from baby to adult diapers to meet growing demand from aging populations worldwide. With adult diaper sales surpassing baby diapers in many markets, Oji aims to strengthen its position in adult hygiene products. The company plans to leverage its manufacturing and innovation capabilities to lead the growing adult care segment and adapt to changing global demographics.
Sustainability and Eco-Conscious Product Development
Growing emphasis on environmental sustainability is driving product innovation in Taiwan's diaper market. Environmentally friendly consumers are calling for diapers produced from biodegradable, plant-based, and chemically free raw materials. In response, local and overseas brands alike are making investments in sustainable production processes, including minimized use of plastic, recyclable packaging, and the use of renewable raw materials. Government support and public debate regarding plastic waste and global warming further fuel this trend. Businesses with a focus on sustainability in their branding are building consumer trust, particularly among urban and young consumers. This is in turn indicative of wider commitment to responsible consumption. With consumers increasingly turning towards green products, this trend constitutes the key driver of Taiwan diaper market growth and allows for long-term market sustainability and leadership in innovation. For instance, recently, ANDRITZ installed and commissioned a high-speed diaper converting line at its Naturopera’s new facility in France. The eXcelle line, developed by ANDRITZ Diatec, enables the production of both conventional and 90% bio-based baby diapers, using spunlace nonwovens made from natural fibers. This innovation supports Naturopera’s sustainability goals and positions them as a pioneer in eco-friendly diaper manufacturing.
