APAC adult diaper market expanding at 14.3% CAGR

THE expanding aging population in the Asia-Pacific region is spurring the adult diapers market, which is projected to post a 14.3% CAGR from 2014 through 2019.

 

Untapped emerging markets in China, India, Thailand, Viet Nam, and Indonesia have strong growth potential, said the new report from Research and Markets titled “Adult Diaper Market in the APAC 2015-2019.”  

 

The rising elderly population translates into more people susceptible to diseases that can cause incontinence. This, in turn, results in high demand for adult diapers for the management of the condition. The economic burden of urge urinary incontinence (UUI), however, could inhibit growth of the adult diaper market in the APAC, according to the report. 

 

The report, which provides in-depth market analysis from input from industry experts, covers the adult diapers market in the APAC region and its growth prospects in the coming years. It includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market such as Daio Paper, Kao Corp, Kimberly-Clark, Nippon Paper Industries, P&G, Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA), and Unicharm. To calculate the market size, the report took into account the revenue generated from the sales of different types of adult diapers, including pad, pants, and flat varieties.
