Wet Wipes Market Growth & Trends


The global wet wipes market size is expected to reach USD 36.56 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising hygiene consciousness among consumers and expenditure on personal hygiene products is anticipated to drive market growth. Increasing awareness of hygiene among people is one of the primary reasons driving market growth. Diverse types of wipes, including intimate, moist, flushable, feminine, and scented, have been developed during the past decade to serve a variety of purposes.

Emerging markets and rising demand for imported goods drive online spending even more. Instagram and Facebook influence consumer purchasing decisions by providing customer reviews and numerous forums to address purchase issues. Consumers in emerging markets prefer local e-commerce platforms, such as Tmall in China and Flipkart in India. Due to increasing demand from emerging markets in South Asian countries, the online market for wet wipes among other personal care products has experienced significant growth in recent years.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented demand for disinfecting products, making it a remarkable year for household wipes. The American Cleaning Institute reported improved availability of cleaning and disinfecting wipes in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 2020. Consumers now recognize the value and convenience of these products in everyday life. While panic buying has subsided, sustained interest in household and cleaning wipes is expected due to permanent changes in cleaning habits and a continued focus on hygiene and wellness.

In recent years, wet wipes have surged in popularity worldwide, appealing to people of all ages. The availability of a diverse range, such as makeup removers, cooling, scented, antibacterial, body wipes, and general cleaning wipes, has led to widespread daily use. According to a 2022 survey by A Dollar Shave Club, 51% of 1,000 surveyed U.S. male consumers expressed a preference for wipes, while 23% reported using alternative hygiene products. The study also noted that women tend to favor wet wipes more than men, driven by their increasing focus on health and hygiene products.

Growing demand for chemical-free wet wipes has encouraged manufacturers to come up with new products that would especially appeal to parents who are looking for natural wipes for their babies. For instance, in May 2021, Coterie introduced baby wipes made using compostable VEOCELTM fibers from Lenzing to the U.S. market. The new product, formulated with gentle additives, effectively removes dirt and irritants while protecting the skin's barrier properties and pH balance.
