Summary of the Report

In 2018, the global adult diapers market was valued at USD 12.62 billion. The market is expected to grow at 12.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Incontinence products can be classified as adult diapers. These are used primarily by people with severe incontinence, mobility impairment, dementia or severe incontinence. The market's primary growth factors include a growing geriatric population and rising affordability of diapers. There is also a growing awareness about hygiene issues.

These incontinence products are also increasingly used in hospitals, especially for patients with acute illnesses. They help prevent leakage, maintain body fluid levels, and provide comfort. These diapers are not only used for medical purposes but also have been adopted by many other people, including deep-sea divers, long-flight pilots, and workers at the manufacturing plants. These diapers will continue to be popular worldwide because of the many uses they have for both medical and non-medical reasons.

Technology advancements have led to a significant increase in disposable adult diapers being used by the elderly. Because they have a gel-like, polymer-bead core, these diapers are a novel way to manage incontinence. This increases their absorbency which provides greater comfort and protection for consumers. Market growth is expected to be boosted by disposable diapers' improved retention and fluid absorption abilities over the forecast period.

Despite these positive trends, the market's growth will be impeded by factors like lack of awareness and stigmas related to incontinence, especially in developing countries. In collaboration with major diaper manufacturers, governments are launching initiatives to eliminate social stigmas. This will allow the market to grow in developing countries.
