According to the latest report released by the China Nonwovens and Industrial Textiles Association, China' s medical hygiene materials market scale is expected to reach 29.05 billion yuan in 2026, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8.2%. This growth is mainly driven by the increasing demand for hygiene products in the domestic market, the continuous improvement of residents’ living standards, and the promotion of aging population. Among all categories of hygiene materials, adult incontinence products have become the fastest-growing segment, with an annual growth rate of more than 12%-15%, leading the growth of the entire industry.
The rapid growth of adult incontinence products is closely related to the aging of China’s population. With the deepening of the aging degree, the number of elderly people with incontinence problems is increasing, which has brought a huge demand for adult incontinence products. In addition, the change of residents’ consumption concepts and the improvement of health awareness have also promoted the popularization of adult incontinence products. More and more families are willing to buy high-quality adult incontinence products to improve the quality of life of the elderly. At the same time, the government’s emphasis on the elderly care industry has also provided policy support for the development of the adult incontinence product market.
In addition to adult incontinence products, Baby Diapers and female hygiene productsalso maintain stable growth. The baby Diaper Market is affected by the birth rate, but with the continuous improvement of product quality and the enrichment of product types, the market scale still maintains a steady growth trend. Female hygiene products, as a rigid demand product, have a stable market demand, and the market scale is growing steadily with the improvement of women’s health awareness and consumption power. In terms of regional distribution, the Chengdu-Chongqing region in western China has gradually become a regional manufacturing center for hygiene materials, relying on its superior geographical location, complete industrial chain, and policy support.
Industry analysts said that the future development of China’s hygiene materials market will show a trend of high-end, personalized, and green. With the continuous improvement of consumers’ requirements for product quality and safety, enterprises will pay more attention to R&D and innovation, and launch more high-quality, functional hygiene products. At the same time, the acceleration of industrial upgrading and the optimization of the industrial structure will help improve the overall competitiveness of the industry. It is expected that in the next few years, China’s hygiene materials market will continue to maintain steady growth, and the market scale will further expand.
