Diapers or nappies refer to a type of underwear that is used to defecate and urinate without using the toilet. Earlier, diapers were made by piling several layers of fabric like hemp, cotton, and bamboo. However, nowadays, they are manufactured using plastic or polyethylene with the inner lining made of polypropylene. They prevent the outer cloth from being soiled as the material absorbs and contains the waste product. Diapers are extensively worn by toddlers, infants, and children who are not toilet trained. They are also worn by adults who suffer from mobility impairment, incontinence and severe diarrhea.
The Latin America diaper market is primarily driven by the rising awareness regarding hygiene and the high birth rates in countries like Brazil, Peru, and Chile. An increasing number of new manufacturers has also forayed into the market due to the low production cost and high market potential. They are developing eco-friendly diapers using raw materials that decompose much faster than cloth or traditional counterparts. Furthermore, advancements in manufacturing technologies have improved the design and safety of diapers, providing a positive thrust to the market.
