Growth of Baby Wipes Segment
The baby wipes segment is witnessing significant growth in India due to the rising infant population, increasing disposable income and growing parental awareness about infant hygiene. Parents are opting for gentle, chemical-free and dermatologically tested wipes to ensure safe and irritation-free cleaning for babies. The growing demand for paraben-free, alcohol-free and fragrance-free wipes is also contributing positively to the India wet wipes market growth as consumers prioritize natural and organic ingredients in baby care products. New product launches are further driving competition and expanding consumer choices in the premium baby wipes segment. For instance, in January 2025, Panacea Biotec's subsidiary, Panacea Biotec Pharma launched a new premium baby diaper and wipes brand named 'NikoMom.' The brand will initially target the domestic market with plans for future international expansion. Leading manufacturers are focusing on biodegradable and eco-friendly baby wipes, aligning with the growing preference for sustainable and skin-friendly products. Additionally, the expansion of online retail platforms and easy access to premium baby wipes are further boosting market penetration. With the shift towards premium hygiene products and the rising awareness of infant care, India wet wipes market share is growing as manufacturers introduce high-quality, safe, and eco-friendly baby wipes.
Rising Popularity of Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly Wipes
The increasing awareness of environmental sustainability is driving demand for biodegradable and plastic-free wet wipes in India. Consumers are shifting towards compostable, plant-based, and chemical-free alternatives to reduce their carbon footprint. New product innovations are reinforcing the shift towards eco-friendly alternatives, offering consumers safer and sustainable choices. For instance, in May 2024, Cugo launched ecofriendly baby wipes enriched with natural aloe extract designed to soothe and nourish babies' skin. Made from 100% biodegradable materials these dermatologist-tested wipes ensure a gentle safe cleansing experience while prioritizing environmental responsibility. Brands are responding by launching wipes made from bamboo fiber, organic cotton, and biodegradable viscose, eliminating microplastics and synthetic materials that contribute to pollution. Government regulations on single-use plastics and growing advocacy for sustainable personal care products are further accelerating this trend. Companies are focusing on eco-friendly packaging, using recyclable materials and water-based solutions to enhance sustainability. The demand is particularly strong in baby wipes, facial wipes, and disinfectant wipes, as consumers prioritize both skin safety and environmental impact. These factors, including consumer preference for sustainability, regulatory support, and product innovations, are creating a positive India wet wipes market outlook, driving long-term growth and market expansion.
