Breathable Films Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increased spending on personal hygiene among consumers is notably driving the breathable films market growth, although factors such as challenges with diaper degradation may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the breathable films industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Breathable Films Market Driver

Increased spending on personal hygiene among consumers is a major driver influencing the breathable film market growth. Consumers are becoming more aware and are willing to spend more on personal hygiene and are adopting a healthier lifestyle. Increasing awareness among females and the use of feminine hygiene products is one of the major drivers of the female hygiene market, which is expected to grow by over $43 billion by 2024 at a CAGR of more than 3.2% during the forecast period, with APAC having the major share. The other drivers, such as an increasing female workforce and better economic conditions, are improving the availability of products through various channels, such as supermarkets, specialty stores, hypermarkets, and product innovations aiming to cater to the various needs of consumers. Consumers are also using more baby diapers due to the increasing numbers of brands, promotional activities, and various technological advances in the baby diaper segment. The market for baby diapers will reach more than $65.5 billion during the forecast period and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 7%, with APAC contributing the maximum to the growth.

Key Breathable Films Market Trend

Breathable films aiding in the healing process and reducing wrinkles is a major trend influencing the breathable films market growth. Breathable films can act as a second skin in the coming years; thereby, they will be able to assist in the healing process and reduce visible wrinkles on the skin. Olivo Laboratories, which is a collaboration between two researchers from Harvard and MIT, has come up with a fake skin that can be used for healing and reducing wrinkles on the skin. Other applications include eczema and psoriasis treatment and ultraviolet light protection. These fake skins are made up of formulations that spread on the skin easily and dry fast. In addition, different applications can be made by altering the oxygen and moisture permeabilities on the fake skin. The other commercial application can be skin tightening, which will reduce the signs of aging.

Key Breathable Films Market Challenge

Challenges with diaper degradation are a major hindrance to the breathable film market growth. The major application of breathable films is in hygiene products such as baby diapers and feminine hygiene products. Manufacturing disposable diapers is a major challenge faced by baby diapers manufacturers. Diapers have a slow rate of degradation and remain in the environment, causing harm to the environment. Diapers are one of the largest consumer items disposed of in landfills and account for more than 25% of the nonbiodegradable waste volumes. Moreover, disposable diapers contain dioxin, which is highly toxic. Thus, the breathable film industry will have to come up with biodegradable films that will reduce the non-biodegradability of baby diapers.

The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
