Global Incontinence Products Market to Reach US$16.2 Billion by the Year 2026

Incontinence impacts around 400 million persons annually, which is approximately 4-5% of the total global population. People over the 65 age group are relatively at more risk of suffering from incontinence as compared to the younger generation. The increasing age of population creates new necessities, which in turn drives demand for several products that are not currently considered daily goods, for example, absorbent incontinence products, including adult diapers, disposable underwear, and panty liners. The global market for incontinence care products is driven by factors, such as rising number of aging population; increasing incidence of incontinence among both women and men; growing cases of prostate surgeries, increasing urbanization, growing disposable incomes, and rising awareness and acceptance of products available for these conditions. Besides bed-ridden patients, adults with mild to moderate urinary incontinence are also increasing the use of adult incontinence products, including diapers and liners. This factor is further driving the demand for adult incontinence products. Rapid growth of the incontinence market is also propelled by the launch of new and improved products that provide more discretion and improved comfort to the sufferer.
