Adult Diapers Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025
The adult diapers market was valued at US$4.129 billion in 2019. The adult diaper also known as adult nappy is a type of diapers especially made to be worn by adults. Diapers are required to be worn by adults suffering from dementia, mobility impairment, incontinence, and severe diarrhoea. The market is projected to propel at a notable rate throughout the forecast period primarily on account of the rising prevalence of these diseases across various countries around the globe. Furthermore, the rising geriatric population, especially in the highly developed economies of the globe due to the constantly growing geriatric population as old people are more susceptible to these types of diseases. In addition, the growth in disposable income has led towards increased affordability of various personal care and hygiene products, which is considered to be a key factor supplementing the market growth during the next five years. Moreover, the rapid urbanization coupled with the growing inclination of people towards personal hygiene are also considered to be some of the factors amplifying the demand for adult diapers, thus driving the market growth to some extent during the forecast period. The growing participation by key market players in the form of campaigns, advertisements, and promotions for spreading awareness about the use and benefits of adult diapers also shows the opportunities for the key players to invest in the market and gain a competitive edge in the coming years. Furthermore, the growing applications of diapers for non-medical conditions by various working professionals due to long working shifts is further expected to widen up the opportunities for the key players of the market in the near future.
However, the low awareness regarding the use of diapers coupled with the low purchasing power of the people in the developing economies is considered to be a prime factor inhibiting the market growth to some extent during the coming years. Also, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has led to the disruption in the supply chain activities thus, it has resulted in the increased raw material prices, temporary halt in the manufacturing activities. All these factors are anticipated to inhibit market growth moderately during the short run.
Growing geriatric population is driving the market growth

According to the data from the United Nations, the aged population (number of people aged 60 years or above) is projected to reach 2080.5 million by the year 2050 from just 962.3 million in 2017.

Also, the prevalence is considerably higher in females.
