The surge in demand for diapers and incontinence products to boost the growth of the global elastic laminates market
Companies prefer using elastic laminates for manufacturing premium hygiene products such as diaper and adult incontinence to give better comfort, absorbency, and leakage resistance. As per Statista, the baby diaper market value was estimated to be worth approximately 65.9 billion US dollars worldwide by 2030, with an increase of around 15 billion US. Hence, an increase in demand for diapers is anticipated to boost the elastic laminates market.
High birth rates in developed countries are expected to fuel the growth of the global market. The birth rate of developing countries is increasing due to a lack of awareness of contraceptives and low education. Henceforth, an increase in population is projected to drive the use of diapers.
Moreover, incontinence is the major problem through which the world is suffering. As per Phoenix Physical Therapy, urinary incontinence affects 200 million people worldwide. The rise in the issue of incontinence worldwide is expected to further fuel the market of diapers.
Elastic Laminates Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on material type, elastic laminate is categorized into ethylene-based elastomers, propylene-based elastomers, styrene-block copolymers and others such as PET-based.
Ethylene-based elastomers are anticipated to dominate the segment
Ethylene-based elastomers are one of the largest synthetic rubbers consumed worldwide, characterized by their outstanding resistance to ozone, ageing, weather, and high temperatures. Apart from that, they possess good low-temperature flexibility and have excellent electrical properties. Because of its properties, ethylene-based elastomers are used for making elastic laminate, which is highly flexible, soft and has good absorbency.
By application, elastic laminate is segmented into hygiene and health.
Hygiene is projected to dominate the market because of increased awareness of hygiene
Rising healthcare expenditure on personal hygiene will be a significant factor driving hygiene market growth. According to the National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA), there was around a 4.6% rise in US health care spending in 2018.
