The rise in the elderly population, particularly in developed countries, is a primary driver. As people age, the prevalence of conditions like urinary and fecal incontinence increases, leading to higher demand for adult diapers, pads, and protective underwear.
Rising Adoption of Adult Diapers
The adult diaper segment held a significant share in 2024, driven by its wide usage across both healthcare facilities and at-home care environments. These products are designed to manage moderate to severe incontinence and offer enhanced absorbency, leak protection, and comfort for users. With growing demand from the aging population, manufacturers are innovating with thinner materials, odor control technology, and gender-specific designs to improve user confidence and discretion.Increasing Demand in Offline
The offline segment generated sustainable revenues in 2024, in regions with limited digital adoption or where consumers prefer physical retail for personal hygiene purchases. Pharmacies, supermarkets, and specialty stores allow customers to access products directly, receive in-person advice, and compare brands in real time. To gain an edge, leading companies are focusing on in-store education, product sampling, and strategic shelf placements. Many also work with retailers to offer loyalty programs and bundle deals, boosting both brand visibility and repeat purchases within the offline retail ecosystem.Disposables to Gain Traction
The disposable segment held a sizeable share in 2024 owing to its convenience, hygiene benefits, and suitability for daily use. Products in this category include adult diapers, pads, and pull-ups designed for one-time use, making them ideal for both home care and institutional environments. The ease of disposal, along with improved absorbency and skin-friendly materials, makes disposable options highly favored among caregivers and users alike.Asia-Pacific to Emerge as a Lucrative Region
