By the end of 2029, it is anticipated that the adult diapers market would generate more than $24.5 billion in revenue. Future Market Insights (FMI) predicts that the market will grow at a remarkable CAGR of 7.1 percent over the forecast period (2019-2029).
Worldwide, the senior population is growing at a remarkable rate, and the prevalence of incontinence is rising as well. These trends continue to support the demand for adult diapers.
Increased Demand for Cloth or Reusable Diapers to Handle Incontinence Trouble to Push Market Growth
While the demand for their reusable counterparts is anticipated to increase significantly in the coming years, disposable adult diapers still represent a significant portion of industry earnings. Customers are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly diapers in order to lessen their influence on landfills as well as the various advantages of reusable diapers, such as the use of fewer hazardous chemicals, comfort, and a reduction in diaper rash symptoms.
Additionally, the worldwide market for adult diapers is being driven forward by the affordability of reusable adult diapers when compared to disposable diapers. Another factor influencing the market growth in the coming years is the expansion of the use of cloth diapers among the aged population who are dealing with incontinence and associated problems.
