Asia Pacific Adult Diapers Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Asia Pacific Adult Diapers Market Outlook

The Asia Pacific adult diapers market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period of 2024-2032. The growth of the market is driven by the rising prevalence of incontinence among the population owing to various chronic diseases, along with rapid technological advancements.

Adult Diapers: Introduction

Urinary incontinence is a common concern among adults. They belong to the category of adult care products, and just like baby diapers, they have three layers. The inner layer is made of non-woven fabric and is closest to the skin. The middle layer contains absorbent villous pulp and polymer absorbent beads, while the outer layer is a waterproof PE substrate.

There are two types of adult diapers: one that looks like flakes and the other that looks like shorts. The latter comes with adhesive strips that can be used to adjust the waist size and ensure a secure fit. Additionally, there are adult pull-ups, which are modified versions of diapers for mild elderly individuals. Unlike diapers, they have elastic bands like underwear and are suitable for those who can walk on their own.
