Market Dynamics
Driver
Rising Elderly Population: The demand for adult incontinence products is increasing quickly, along with the older adult population in the US and Canada. Numerous variables, such as an aging population, deteriorating health, and greater knowledge of the choices for managing incontinence, are responsible for this rise.
The adult incontinence products market is growing owing to the rise in the geriatric population. Over the following two decades, it is expected that the number of persons aged 65 and older would nearly double in both the US and Canada. Age-related illnesses like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke that can cause incontinence will become more common as a result of this expansion.
The market for adult incontinence products in North America is being driven by both an aging population and a decline in health status. People with chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease are more likely to have complications that could result in incontinence as they live longer. For instance, heart disease can result in changes in hormone levels and weakened blood vessels that can induce urinary leakage. Stroke can harm the nerves that control bowel and bladder function. A person with diabetes may have nerve damage that affects the bladder’s ability to store urine.
According to data from the Rural Health Information Hub, the elderly population in the United States is likely to grow by 80% from 2020 to 2050.
Growing Focus on Innovation: North America region’s declining health immunization rate offers market players enormous opportunities to broaden and improve their product portfolio. Aiming to appeal to both older and younger generations, these advancements. The younger generation and the aged population are currently being impacted by problems including obesity, childbirth, and prostate procedures, which make up a sizeable amount of market sales and drive an increase in the incidence of inconsistent behavior.
The utilization of smart technology in the shape of wearable sensors underneath adult diapers may increase with more research and development into intelligent diaper sensors. Thus, it will be easier for caregivers to provide incontinent people with more specialized care.
Restraint
Low Awareness and Social Stigma: The demand for adult incontinence products may be hampered by low awareness and social stigma around their use. Urinary or excrement leakage that is not voluntary is caused by the condition known as urinary incontinence, which is frequent in the elderly but affects the entire community. The stigma associated with pee incontinence on a social, cultural, and even personal level makes it a serious problem even if it is not a life-threatening illness. Due to pee incontinence, the majority of people fear or worry about being treated differently, which can lead to feelings of hopelessness, shame, embarrassment, and regret.
Country Overview
Due to the vast number of older people living in the country and the significant amount of money they spend on incontinence goods, the US is the market leader in North America for adult incontinence products. The demand for personal care items, such as adult diapers, has grown as a result of the nation’s rising obesity rate, as well as the growing health risks linked with childbirth and post-traumatic stress disorder.
About 33 million women and men in the country endure regular urges and urine incontinence as a result of an overactive bladder, according to the American Urology Association. Additionally, the prevalence of bedwetting has increased, which has significantly increased the demand for adult incontinence products worldwide.
