Global Cloth Diaper Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

A cloth diaper is a reusable diaper which are often made from cotton, terry cloth, or flannel etc. Man-made materials such as an internal absorbent layer of microfiber toweling or an external waterproof layer of polyurethane laminate (PUL) may be used. Polyester fabrics microfleece or suede cloth are often used inside cloth diapers as a stay-dry wicking liner because of the non-absorbent properties of those synthetic fibers.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Cloth Diaper market finds that the global Cloth Diaper market reached a value of USD 315.12 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 435.74 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.55% during the forecast period.

According to the World Economic Outlook by International Monetary Fund (IMF), the COVID-19 pandemic is inflicting high and rising human costs worldwide. Protecting lives and allowing healthcare systems to cope have required isolation, lockdowns, and widespread closures to slow the spread of the virus. The health crisis is therefore having a severe impact on economic activity. As a result of the pandemic, the global economy is projected to contract sharply by 3 percent in 2020, much worse than during the 2008-09 financial crisis. In a baseline scenario, which assumes that the pandemic fades in the second half of 2020 and containment efforts can be gradually unwound, the global economy is projected to grow by 5.8 percent in 2021 as eco-nomic activity normalizes, helped by policy support.

There is extreme uncertainty around the global growth forecast because the economic fallout depends on uncertain factors that interact in ways hard to predict. these include, for example, the pathway of the pandemic, the progress in finding a vaccine and therapies, the intensity and efficacy of containment efforts, the extent of supply disruptions and productivity losses, the repercussions of the dramatic tightening in global financial market conditions, shifts in spending patterns, behavioral changes (such as people avoiding shopping malls and public transportation), confidence effects, and volatile commodity prices.

The threat of replacement of disposable diapers

Compared with cloth diapers, disposable diapers have occupied a larger market share. In addition, due to the acceleration of global urbanization, the number of dual-employed parents is increasing. Disposable diapers are more time-saving and convenient for them. They do not need to be cleaned and can be discarded after use.

Moreover, compared with the relatively high initial cost of cloth diapers, the cost of disposable diapers is lower, and even the less affluent families have a high degree of acceptance of disposable diapers.

Declining birth rate in developed countries

The social structure, religious beliefs, economic prosperity and urbanization within each country are likely to affect birth rates as well as abortion rates, developed countries tend to have a lower fertility rate due to lifestyle choices associated with economic affluence where mortality rates are low, birth control is easily accessible and children often can become an economic drain caused by housing, education cost and other cost involved in bringing up children.

The low birth rate in developed countries directly leads to a decrease in the consumption of baby products in the region, which is an important factor restricting the development of the cloth diaper market.
