Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing awareness of maintaining baby hygiene in developing countries is the key factor driving global market growth. Awareness of the importance of child hygiene is gradually increasing in the developing world, due to sellers using social media strategies and other promotional activities. Due to rapid urbanization, parents are more concerned about their baby's hygiene and are willing to pay high prices for good quality baby care products.
A rise in dual-income households with working mothers, who are well-educated and highly aware of the importance of baby hygiene, has resulted in a notable increase in spending on baby care products. Working mothers are ready to pay high prices for organic and eco-friendly products offered by vendors, such as Seventh Generation, that make their products from plant-based materials. Due to rising awareness among consumers, the global market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period.
An increase in online sales of diaper pails is the primary trend in the global market growth. Selling products online is a great opportunity for manufacturers and a convenient experience for consumers. There has been a significant increase in online sales of baby care products as working mothers often lead busy lifestyles that leave them no time to buy products from offline retail stores. The increase in internet and smartphone usage has made it more convenient for them to shop online. As a result, parents are switching from buying baby care products from offline retail stores to an online platform that offers free shipping and delivery. In addition, the products are available at competitive and affordable prices, with the possibility of buying them in bulk.
There are online platforms, especially for baby and infant care, which not only sell products but also give mothers information about baby care. These online platforms are driving the online sales of baby diaper pails as well. Due to the increased penetration of diaper pails on online channels, the global market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period.
The ease of availability of substitutes is the major challenge impeding market growth. Regular trash cans are the cheapest alternative to baby diaper bins. Common trash cans and bins commonly found in every household can also be used to dispose of diapers without using a diaper bin. These bins can be used to store household waste as well as to dispose of dirty diapers, only they cannot contain odors and prevent odors from spreading throughout the home. Therefore, consumers must regularly empty these trash cans to prevent bacteria from entering and stench from entering the house, which adversely affects the health of young children.
Developing nations in APAC and MEA, where parents are still not fully aware of diaper pails and their benefits, use regular trash cans that are cheaper than diaper pails. Low per capita income and less awareness are the reasons why the share of the global market is low in these regions. Consumers do not prefer to spend USD35-USD40 on baby diaper pails and hence, opt for low-cost substitutes available in the market, such as regular trash cans and waste bins. The ease of availability of substitutes may restrain the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
