Adult Diapers Market Size - By Product Type, By Category, By Size, By Material, By Packaging Quantity, By Consumer Group, By Distribution Channel, Global Forecast 2023 - 2032


Adult Diapers Market size is projected to expand at over 6.8% CAGR from 2023-2032 propelled by the rising advancements in diaper designs, materials, and technology. The ongoing developments, such as discreet pull-on underwear styles, moisture-wicking fabrics, and enhanced absorbency technologies are helping to address the evolving preferences of consumers seeking comfort and convenience. Design innovations are also playing a pivotal role in reducing the stigma associated with adult diapers, making them more user-friendly and socially acceptable.

Moreover, the rising focus and investments led by manufacturers for the development of effective solutions to respond to the evolving consumer needs will further accelerate the industry expansion. For instance, in October 2023, Suzano invested nearly $100 million in a new fluff pulp factory to address the expanding global demand for absorbent, personal hygiene products, such as infant and adult diapers, feminine hygiene, and pet pads whilst meeting the sustainability goals.

The adult diapers industry is segmented into product type, category, size, material, packaging quantity, consumer group, distribution channel, and region.

Based on product type, the market share from the pull-on underwear is anticipated to witness 6.4% CAGR from 2023-2032. The segment growth is attributed to the rising demand for easy-to-wear, elasticized, and form-fitting products for providing a sense of normalcy and independence to users. Moreover, the convenience and discretion offered by pull-on underwear adult diapers is contributing to their rising preference among active and mobile individuals experiencing incontinence.

As per consumer group, the adult diapers industry from the female segment is expected to depict a 7% growth rate between 2023 and 2032. This is driven by the growing awareness of health issues among women along with the rapidly expanding aging population. Factors, such as pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause are contributing to incontinence, further extending the consumer base. Additionally, the societal shifts towards breaking stigmas associated with incontinence will push the higher acceptance of adult diapers among women.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific adult diapers market is poised to exhibit a 7.4% rate through 2032 attributed to the rapidly aging population, increasing awareness about incontinence issues, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, the rising government initiatives for addressing the needs of the elderly along with the higher availability of a diverse range of products tailored to different preferences will augment the regional market outlook. For instance, in May 2023, Friends, the flagship brand of Indian diapering behemoth Nobel Hygiene Pvt Ltd, introduced slim disposable absorbent underpants specifically designed for younger consumers suffering from light incontinence.
