The global biodegradable diapers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10.00% between 2025 and 2034.

Some of the factors aiding the biodegradable diapers market are the growing understanding of personal hygiene, declining infant mortality rates, increasing demand for adult diapers, increasing policy initiatives, and others. North America is the leading region for the market, accounting for the highest market share. Cotton/ wood pulp dominates the industry in the raw material segment, holding the largest share. Baby diapers lead the end-user segment, whereas the distribution segment is being led by pharmacies.

The massive amount of untreated waste that is added to the landfill every year by plastic diapers can also contaminate groundwater. In addition, disposable diapers are often made up of a variety of chemicals that can have a harmful effect on health, which include dioxins, sodium polyacrylate, tributyltin, volatile organic compounds, dyes, fragrances, etc. Such chemicals can trigger itching and various health problems like damaged immunity, hormonal intervention, cancer, respiratory problems, etc. Awareness of the harmful effects of these chemicals also allows buyers to move to biodegradable diapers made up of natural materials.

Market Analysis

Rising environmental issues are a key driver of the biodegradable diapers market. In comparison to biodegradable diapers, conventional diapers do not degrade well in the landfill. In fact, it will take hundreds of years to decompose. The immense amount of untreated waste added to the landfill every year by plastic diapers can also contaminate the groundwater. In addition, disposable diapers are often made up of a variety of contaminants that can have a harmful effect on health. These contain dioxins, sodium polyacrylate, tributyltin, volatile organic compounds, dyes, fragrances, etc. Such chemicals can cause itching and various health problems, such as weakened immunity, hormonal intervention, cancer, respiratory problems, etc. Awareness of the harmful effects of these chemicals also helps customers to shift towards biodegradable diapers made up of natural materials. Many key market-driving factors include growing knowledge of personal hygiene, declining infant mortality rates, rising demand for adult diapers, and increasing policy initiatives, among others.
