Description
ASEAN Adult Diaper Industry
Adult diapers are disposable absorbent hygiene products designed for situations such as adult incontinence, limited mobility, post-operative care, and long-term care. Adult diapers typically feature a side-fastening design, making them suitable for users who are bedridden, have limited mobility, or require assistance with changing.
The industry chain for adult diapers can be broadly divided into upstream raw materials and production equipment, midstream R&D and manufacturing, and downstream sales channels and end-consumer markets.
Established in 1967, ASEAN is the most important regional organization for economic and political cooperation in Southeast Asia. It currently encompasses 11 economies in the region: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Timor-Leste, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
According to ASEAN statistics, by the end of 2025, ASEAN’s total population had surpassed 690 million and its aggregate economic output had exceeded US$ 4.2 trillion, forming a massive consumer market.
Population aging and the growing demand for incontinence care are the core drivers of the rapid development of the ASEAN adult diaper market. Countries such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia have relatively high proportions of elderly populations.
According to CRI’s analysis, key international companies include Unicharm, Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble, and Essity, with major brands such as Lifree, Depend, Always Discreet, and TENA. These enterprises primarily cover the ASEAN market through local production, regional manufacturing, and imports.
According to CRI’s estimates, the ASEAN adult diaper market is projected to reach US$ 1.41 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of approximately 7.2% from 2026 to 2030, and is expected to reach approximately US$ 1.85 billion by 2030. It is expected to continue to grow, driven by the aging population, increased awareness of adult incontinence care, increased demand for home care, and the expansion of channels such as pharmacies and e-commerce.
CRI recommends that global adult diaper companies, international brands, distributors, OEM, private equity (PE) funds and venture capital (VC) firms conduct timely market research on the ASEAN region to prepare for their strategic entry into the ASEAN adult diaper market.
