Most parents are still unaware of the adverse effects of baby diapers on the baby’s skin. Diaper rash, candida infections, skin irritation, and food sensitivities are symptoms that appear to be a diaper allergy. The use of chemicals like polypropylene and sodium polyacrylate, which is used to manufacture diapers, also damage a baby’s skin and cause allergies. Furthermore, owing to an allergy-related problem with baby’s most doctors don’t advise the use of the baby diaper. Thus, the rise in allergies among babies is restricting the growth of the baby diapers market. The baby diaper market is one of the few markets which were not affected negatively during the Covid pandemic. By region, Asia dominates the market, while the Middle East & Africa region accounted for the least of the market share.

The usage of disposable diapers by end-users, both babies and adults, revolves around convenience, comfort, and hygiene. For babies, disposable diapers are the primary choice for managing their toileting needs due to their ease of use and disposability. Parents or caregivers appreciate the convenience of simply disposing of soiled diapers rather than dealing with laundering cloth diapers.

The hypermarket & supermarket sales channel remains the highest contributor in the market owing to the availability of a range of brands under a single roof, with an added discount. However, the increase in urbanization, rise of women empowerment, and competitive pricing are to allow the online sales channel segment to grow with an anticipated CAGR of 7% by 2029. The sales channel for the disposable diaper market involves a mix of traditional and modern retail methods, ensuring broad accessibility and convenience for consumers. Major sales channels include supermarkets and hypermarkets, which offer a wide range of brands and products, providing consumers with the opportunity to compare prices and quality in a single location.
