As per SkyQuest market analysis, the US adult diapers market is expected to grow at a rate of 6% over the next five years. This demand is largely due to an aging population and caregiving responsibilities.

Fitted are more efficient than briefs because they distribute urine more uniformly and fit more snugly around the leg. Padless pads are also available, but they tend to be less effective than disposable briefs or fitted because they do not absorb urine as well.

Adult diapers continue to hit the market at an incredibly low price point. This has led to many brands introducing new and innovative products that are affordable for even the most modest budget.
For example, Allter, a producer of adult diaper, is using organic cotton and bamboo pulp in their diapers. These are not only more sustainable, but they also provide a better odor-control feature and bamboo pulp can absorb up to 70% more moisture than cotton. Another company is using cornstarch in their diapers. This material is known for being environmentally friendly and affordable.
