The global baby diaper market is expected to increase from $48 billion in 2015, and reach $68.2 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%, according to a report released by P&S Market Research. The increasing number of women in the workforce, the introduction of biodegradable diapers, and increased awareness about personal hygiene and growing populations, are some of the factors driving the growth of the global baby diaper market. The emergence of hybrid diapers and the presence of untapped markets for baby diapers are expected to give a major boost to the growth of the global baby diaper market in the future. The increasing adoption of G-diapers is also expected to boost the growth of the global market, as they have become the preferred choice for mothers, due to their chlorine free and perfume free nature.

Baby diapers in the report are primarily referred to diapers worn by infants and children who experience bedwetting or are not yet toilet trained. On average, a baby undergoes a diaper change five or more times a day. The delayed toilet training of children in developed countries, and growing online purchase of baby diapers, are some of the trends witnessed in the global market.

Among the various products, the disposable diaper segment dominated the global market in 2015 by holding a significant amount of market share. In 2015, Europe was the largest baby diaper market. The market in Middle East & Africa is growing at a rapid pace, due to the rapid increasing urbanization in the region.
