A key trend contributing to market growth is the rising demand from developing countries. Increasing globalization and rising income levels of consumers in developing countries, along with the growing influence of Western culture and etiquette, have had significant impact on consumer behavior in these regions. The use of baby wipes in particular is a fairly established practice in countries such as European countries and the US. Developing countries in APAC and Africa offer considerable growth potential for the global baby wipes market because of growing urbanization. Global players are planning to widen their reach in these regions. China, India, and Brazil together are expected to represent almost 29% of the global wipes market during the forecast period.

According to the report, a key growth driver is the improved functionality of baby wipes. Baby wipes are highly absorbent materials and enhance convenience of use, particularly during travel. Most new wipes available in the market today reduce risk of infection and discomfort caused by wetness of the skin and are tested to prevent breeding of bacteria. Vendors are also launching baby wipes that are softer on the skin, compostable or biodegradable, and do not contain alcohol.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could very likely hamper market growth is environmental issues. Much of the raw materials used to manufacture baby wipes have plastics and other polymers which take a long time to degrade.
