Elastic Attachment Adhesives supporting Market Growth of Disposable Pants
As disposable hygiene product designs evolve to address consumer pain points, such as leakage, and the desire for convenience, comfort, and versatility, it’s no surprise that elastic attachments have gained a new enthusiasm. And so, what is the disposable training pants growth across tiers and regions?
Let’s look at the forecast:
- The pants format will drive 87% of the baby diaper market absolute sales gain between 2021 and 2026, due to increased caretaker preference in fit for preventing leaks
- Globally, disposable pants are increasingly offsetting a weak gain in open-tape diapers
- By the end of 2026, it is expected to account for 28% of the entire baby diaper market annual sales, up from 21% in 2021
This is not the only expected and considerable market segment to change. This is also anticipated for adult incontinence articles, with a strong demand for pull-up pants, which allow for better mobility than open-tape diapers. The outlook is that globally, and across most regions, the moderate and heavy incontinence segment is expected to outgrow light incontinence from 2021 through 2026. As indicated in our research, the light incontinence segment is expected to see the largest gain in Western Europe and North America, “where key drivers include fundamental efficacy, dignity-assuring aesthetics, and growing awareness of incontinence among younger adults.”

Regardless of the level of incontinence, and the growth we are seeing in different parts of the globe, disposable pants are offsetting a weak gain in open-tape diapers over the next four years. This will enable different choices of articles for consumers in the hygiene market and the use of a challenging and complex application adhesive that delivers excellence and high performance.
