Japan is another major market for superabsorbent materials owing to the expansion of the personal hygiene sector. The growing middle class in the country is extremely conscious of baby hygiene and is adopting health-conscious methods of convenient baby hygiene products.
There is a significant gap between the supply and demand for diaper products on account of inadequate distribution channels and large storage space occupied by diaper packs as compared to their price which leads consumers compromising on their purchase and depriving them of better benefits and choices.
Growing demand for sustainable hygiene products such as sanitary pads, adult diapers is expected to result in increasing the market penetration of superabsorbent polymers. The Japanese consumers are primarily focusing on thinner pads which have a better comfort level and convenience.
This has been a key feature of the market over the past few years. The adult incontinence products segment is expected to remain an essential segment owing to the large population of the older age group in the country. This segment will witness a significant rise in demand as consumers belonging to the older age group are opting for better comfort and convenience.
