Personal care wipes refer to wet or dry wipes made from various materials such as polyester, polypropylene, cotton, wood pulp, or rayon fibres and formed into sheets. These wipes are used for numerous purposes, such as cleansing, disinfecting various surfaces, and cosmetics purposes, among others.

Additionally, these wipes are disposable and further cause a minimal impact on the environment, which also positively impacts their adoption, especially by the millennial female population and by mothers for the proper care of their baby's skin. The globally growing population, rapid urbanization, and an increase in disposable income are further leading to the change in the living standards of the people. Furthermore, the growing awareness regarding personal care and hygiene is also amplifying the usage of wipes, thus driving the market growth during the next five years.
