The Adult Diaper Market: Opportunities for Importers

Updated: August 2023 · LIAO GROUP

Why the adult care market is growing

The global adult diaper market is worth tens of billions of dollars and grows roughly 7–9% a year. Main drivers: aging populations (especially in Europe and Asia), longer lifespans and declining social stigma around incontinence products.

Who buys

Buyers fall into three groups: seniors with light to moderate incontinence, bedridden patients (home care and medical facilities) and active adults who choose pull-up pants that feel like regular underwear.

Product range for importers

• Adult diapers (tape) — for bedridden patients, high absorbency.
• Adult pull-up pants — like regular underwear, for active users.
• Underpads — for beds, medical facilities.
