Paper diapers are designed to absorb and retain person’s urine and faces while keeping the skin dry and healthy and to be easily and hygienically disposed of in household solid waste.
A disposable diaper consists of an absorbent pad sandwiched between two sheets of nonwoven fabric. The pad is specially designed to absorb and retain body fluids, and the nonwoven fabric gives the diaper a comfortable shape and helps prevent leakage. These diapers are made by a multi-step process in which the absorbent pad is first vacuum-formed, then attached to a permeable top sheet and impermeable bottom sheet. The components are sealed together by application of heat or ultrasonic vibrations. When properly fitted, the disposable diaper will retain body fluids which pass through the permeable top sheet and are absorbed into the pad.
Europe is the largest Paper Diaper market with about 25% market share. USA is follower, accounting for about 17% market share.
The key players are P&G (Pampers), Kimberly Clark, Unicharm, SCA, First Quality, Ontex, Kao, Medline, Domtar, Hengan, Chiaus, Daddybaby, Coco, Medtronic, Fuburg etc. Top 3 companies occupied about 60% market share.
