The rise in birth rates is expected to drive the growth of the smart diapers market in the coming years. Birth rate refers to the number of live births per thousand people in a given year, and it is increasing due to a higher number of registered births across various countries. As the infant population grows, smart diapers support this trend by helping detect health concerns such as constipation, skin rashes, allergies, and incontinence in children. For example, in October 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), an Australian government organization, reported 292,318 registered births in 2024, representing a 1.9% increase, or 5,320 additional births, compared to 2023. Consequently, higher birth rates are contributing to the growth of the smart diapers market.

Major companies in the smart diapers market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as integrated moisture sensors and real-time health monitoring, to offer parents convenient solutions that improve infant care and facilitate proactive health management. The integrated moisture sensor is a straightforward, low-cost device that detects changes in humidity, allowing it to signal wetness in smart diapers and other health monitoring applications by converting water absorption into electrical signals. For example, in February 2023, Pennsylvania State University, a US-based public research university, developed a low-cost, hand-drawn hydration sensor that can be integrated into 'smart diapers' to identify wetness and notify caregivers. This innovative technology aims to improve immediate care in daycares and hospitals, with potential applications in broader health monitoring.
