Baby diapers refer to a type of underwear worn by babies and children to allow the user to urinate or defecate without the need to go to the toilet. Diapers are designed to absorb waste products to prevent staining or soiling of external clothing. Baby diapers are typically made using a cloth or synthetic disposable material. These can be broadly classified into cloth diapers, disposable diapers, training naps, and swim pants. Among these, cloth diapers and disposable diapers are the most popular products used worldwide. Cloth diapers are typically made from layers of fabric such as cotton, hemp, or microfibers. They can be washed multiple times for reuse as the material used is a natural fabric. On the contrary, disposable baby diapers are made of absorbent materials and must be discarded after a single use.
The most prominent factor fueling the baby diaper market's growth is the steadily rising birth rate worldwide. Although the overall birth rate has witnessed a significant slowdown over the past few years, steady growth is anticipated in the coming years. In addition, the baby diaper market's growth is largely driven by the rising awareness of baby care products and the rise in discretionary income. People are now more inclined towards purchasing brand-name products to ensure optimum quality of care for their children. Consequently, the market has witnessed strong growth for the past few years. Developing economies are the most promising baby diapers market, portraying the highest growth rate.
