The global pant type adult diaper market was valued at $5.58 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $11.12 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031. A pant-style adult diaper is a disposable garment worn instead of underwear to help alleviate leaks from urinary or fecal incontinence among adults. Raw materials such as nonwoven fabric, fluffy pulp, cotton, and microfibers are used to make adult diapers. An adult diaper's outside material is hydrophobic by nature, or the cloth is treated with hydrophobic chemicals. Adult diapers are leak-proof due to the interior filling of a special super-absorbent chemical such as sodium polyacrylate, which is a polymer that expands significantly when exposed to water.
Adult diapers are essential for those who have incontinence, limited mobility, severe diarrhea, or dementia. The uncontrolled flow of urine is known as incontinence. Muscles in and around the bladder keep urine inside the bladder. Incontinence occurs when the muscles that hold pee or support the urethra weaken, allowing urine to escape. Aging, motherhood, childbirth, menopause, enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, and urinary tract blockage can all contribute to adult incontinence. According to an article published on ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, about 423 million people (20 and older) worldwide suffer from urinary incontinence. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), urine incontinence affects around 13 million Americans, with 24-45% of women reporting some level of incontinence. Thus, it has been witnessed that the prevalence of adult incontinence is on the rise, emphasizing the importance of basic hygiene treatments to tackle the problem. Adult diapers are in high demand since most people choose to use them. With the global population's average age expected to increase in the future years, the need for adult diapers is expected to surge.
Furthermore, individuals who develop urinal incontinence are at a significant risk of urine leakage, which can lead to a serious sickness. As a result, an increase in awareness among the worldwide population toward maintaining adequate hygiene is boosting the demand for incontinence solutions. Adult diapers, on the other hand, are not commonly used in undeveloped nations, and the consumers are unaware of the product. As a result, the government and personal healthcare firms are emphasizing the necessity of wearing diapers in their campaigns to urge individuals with incontinence to use adult diapers, thus augmenting their sales.
The global pant type adult diaper is segmented into type, material, end user, distribution channel, and region. On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into reusable and disposable. Depending on material, it is segregated into cotton, non-woven fabric, and fluffy pulp. By end user, it is categorized into women, men, and unisex. As per distribution channel, it is fragmented into hypermarkets/supermarkets, drug stores & pharmacies, online channels, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, South Africa, and rest of LAMEA).

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Pant Type Adult Diaper Market," the pant type adult diaper market size was valued at $5.58 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $11.12 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031.A pant type adult diaper is a disposable garment worn instead of underwear to help alleviate leaks from urinary or fecal incontinence among adults. Adult diapers are made of non-woven fabric, fluffy pulp, cotton, and microfibers. The outer material of an adult diaper is hydrophobic by nature, or the fabric is coated with hydrophobic chemicals. Adult diapers are leak-proof, as the inside filling comprises a unique super-absorbent chemical, sodium polyacrylate, which is a polymer that expands dramatically when exposed to water.
The trend of digitalization has developed in several consumer goods industries. The digital revolution has now touched the geriatric and incontinence care segments. The Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to extend into incontinence care throughout the forecast period, providing digitally enabled decision support tools as well as other care recommendations. For example, Simavita, a technology start-up, developed wearable adult diapers under the brand name SMARTZ. The device contributes to the delivery of a variety of health and wellbeing indicators, such as wetness, ambient temperature, pressure sore treatment, falls, and other features and information. In addition, it has sensors that detect movement, temperature, and other data to offer wellness statistics and trigger warnings. The introduction of new technologies in the future is expected to increase the pant type adult diaper market demand.
However, disposable diapers account for approximately 4% of waste material and are the third largest individual consumer item discarded after a single usage in landfills. These disposals place a significant load on landfill sites and have negative environmental health consequences. Soiled diapers, on the other hand, are burned, buried in the ground, or abandoned in illegal dumpsites by users, resulting in the spread of infectious illnesses such as cholera. Chemical substances found in the diaper include tributyltin (TBT), sodium polyacrylate, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, dipentene, and phthalates. These hazardous compounds included in disposable diapers contaminate fish and other edible life forms in the water bodies. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the accumulation of such chemicals in biota over time produces problems in the food chain such as bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Toxins from diapers induce respiratory problems and neurological disintegration in people. Hence, consumers are looking for different solutions as they become more aware of the environmental effects of disposable diapers. Thus, all these factors collectively hamper the global pant type adult diaper market growth.
The global pant type adult diaper market is segmented into type, material, end user, distribution channel, and region. On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into reusable and disposable.
