Rising Demand for Eco-friendly Diapers
The rising environmental awareness in the UAE has created a higher demand for environmentally friendly diapers. Consumers have become increasingly aware of the role disposable products play on the environment, and this has driven demand for biodegradable and sustainable diapers. Brands have been adapting to this trend by launching diapers using organic cotton, plant-based, and chlorine-free production processes, minimizing the environmental footprint. For instance, in November 2024, Ecoma launched eco-friendly, plant-based diapers in the UAE, prioritizing comfort and sustainability. Made from biodegradable materials, these diapers offer up to 12 hours of leakproof protection and are free from harmful chemicals. Available at various retailers, prices start at AED 49, promoting responsible parenting and environmental care. This trend is also conforming to global sustainability movements, providing comfort and a reduced environmental footprint. Moreover, increased awareness regarding plastic waste and landfill concerns is pushing parents and guardians towards greener options. Consequently, the UAE diaper market is experiencing increased offerings of eco-friendly products, which is driving the overall market growth. The transition towards green diapers is part of the overall trend towards environmentally friendly consumer behavior, which will keep driving the UAE diaper market growth through the years to come.
Shift to Adult Diapers
With the rapid growth in aging population in the UAE the need for adult diapers has risen sharply. According to the data published by the United Nations Population Fund, the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a demographic shift, with the population aged 60 and older projected to rise from approximately 311,000 in 2020 to 2 million by 2050, increasing from 3.1% to 19.7% of the total population. With a significant increase in the elderly population the demand for incontinence and mobility aid products is on the rise. Adult diapers are increasingly becoming a part of healthcare and hygiene solutions with more awareness on comfort and dignity among the elderly. This change is driven by product design improvements, such as increased absorbency, quietness, and skin-friendliness. Furthermore, changes in society, such as an active and health-oriented aging population, are driving this growth. Consequent to this, adult diapers are now widely available in supermarkets, pharmacies, and websites, thereby supporting the UAE diaper market as a whole. The need for adult diapers will continue to increase, mirroring the larger trends of aging and shifting healthcare requirements across the region.
