Global Baby Diaper Market- Overview
Baby diapers are pads used for absorbing and retaining body fluids. Diapers such as these are worn by toddlers who are not yet toilet trained as they are too young. In order to ensure maximum comfort for the babies and prevent leakage, these diapers are often designed in the form of pants. The majority of baby diapers are made from polypropylene non-woven films. These days, biodegradable materials such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, or microfiber are also used to make diapers.
Global Baby Diapers Market Forecast and Trends
Growth Drivers
Increasing Baby Births
According to an estimate, around 385,000 babies are born each day worldwide. Based on the records of UNICEF, around 67, 385 babies are born in India alone, which is one-sixth of the world’s childbirths. Such a high number of babies being born worldwide is proving to be a boon for the baby diaper market. This is why, countries with high populations and densities such as India, China, South Korea, etc., offer a diverse consumer base to the baby diaper market.
Growing Penetration of Online Channels
The increasing penetration of smartphones and improving internet accessibility are providing lucrative growth opportunities to the baby diaper market worldwide. The market is flooded with consumer goods websites, such as Amazon.com, Walmart, Grofers, Firstcry.com, etc., which offer diapers of different brands at discounted prices, thereby attracting consumers. Various companies are also entering the diaper delivery market to expand their market scope. Uber Eats, for instance, recently introduced a new delivery category, ‘Babies and Kids’, to deliver diapers and thermometers.
Restraints
Side Effects of Using Diapers Regularly
Diapers are a blessing for babies and mothers. Regular diaper use, however, poses a severe threat to a baby's health. In disposable diapers, leak-proof & super absorbent polymers and scented chemicals can lead to chronic diaper rash and severe respiratory problems such as asthma. Babies can also develop allergies from dyes used in colorful diapers. Furthermore, regular use of diapers can also make way for chemicals to enter the baby's system. Such factors may restrict the growth of baby diapers.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Baby Diapers Market
The unforeseen situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the baby diapers market. As countries imposed strict lockdown restrictions to curb the virus spread, it led to panic buying of essential commodities, such as baby diapers and toilet papers. Due to a shortage of workers and restrictions on international trade, production and supply chains were cut down. This resulted in huge demand and supply gap, incurring huge losses to the market. Despite this setback, the market is expected to recover in the post-COVID-19 period, as companies are focusing on increasing production to meet market demand.
Global Baby Diapers Market - By Product Type
Based on product types, the baby diapers market is segmented into cloth diapers, disposable diapers, training nappies, swim pants, and biodegradable diapers. The disposable diapers segment accounts for the largest market share because of the high penetration of this type of diapers in convenience and retail stores. However, cloth diapers and biodegradable diapers are estimated to register substantial growth during the forecast period because of the increasing environmental consciousness among consumers and demand for reusable diapers that prove to be budget-friendly.
Global Baby Diapers Market - By Distribution Channel
Based on distribution channels, the global baby diapers market is segmented into supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, retail stores, specialty stores, and online channels. The convenience stores segment accounts for the largest market share because of its presence in various locations and regions. Convenience stores also offer a wide variety of baby diapers of various brands and they are accessible at any time of the day. However, the online channels are projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing popularity of consumer good websites such as Amazon.com.
Global Baby Diapers Market - Regional Insights
Geographically, the global baby diapers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. As a result of high disposable income and high expenditure for quality baby products, North America dominates the baby diapers market. As a result of increasing environmental consciousness, cotton and biodegradable baby diapers are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in this region. In contrast, the Asia-Pacific region will likely to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period.
