Why Adult Diaper Use is Rising Worldwide — What You Need to Know

Across the globe, more and more people are turning to adult diapers. 

The main reason? 

Urine or stool leakage, medically known as incontinence. This condition happens when the muscles and nerves that control bladder or bowel movements don’t work quite as well as they used to.

What Causes Incontinence?

➡️ Weakening muscles that hold in urine or stool

➡️ Damage to the nerves that communicate with the brain

➡️ Changes in the body’s anatomy affecting normal control

Incontinence usually results from factors such as ageing, injuries, nerve problems, infections, or certain medical conditions. Because the causes can vary widely, it’s important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and care.

Why Is This a Growing Issue?

Japan leads the world in adult diaper use because it has one of the oldest populations on Earth. But this is not just Japan’s story. Many countries across North America, Europe, and Asia are seeing similar trends as their populations age and people live longer.

Several forces are driving the global growth of adult diaper demand:

The world’s population is ageing rapidly

More people understand the importance of hygiene and comfort

Advances in diaper design make products more reliable and discreet

Stigma around incontinence is fading, encouraging more people to seek help

"Each region has its own pace and preferences, but the rising need for adult diapers and incontinence care is a shared challenge facing societies worldwide."

Looking Ahead
