In this study, we will focus solely on the baby diaper segment, which accompanies children until they are potty-trained, at around three years of age. Diapers can also be segmented according to type: washable and disposable. The global market has been growing steadily over the past 10 years, and is expected to register a CAGR of 4. 9% between 2022 and 2030. Despite an overall drop in the birth rate, as well as the difficulties encountered by the beauty care sectorthe baby diapers and baby hygiene sector in general will do very well in 2022. Indeed, while the health crisis hit the sector hard, the recovery was very marked in 2021: rising birth rates, renewed hygiene habits... diapers are mainly distributed and bought in supermarkets, although the boom in online sales should not be overlooked. Consumers are increasingly sensitive to the composition of diapers and their potential toxicity. Ecological arguments play an increasingly important role in purchasing decisions. The main players in this market are, of course, diaper manufacturers such as P & G and Kimberly-Clark, but also retailers such as Leclerc and Carrefour.
