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.
