Incontinence Products- Drivers

Increasing focus on geriatric health is one of the factors expected to contribute to growth of incontinence products market over the projected period. Consumption of personal hygiene products is growing which is supported by increasing per capita income across the globe. A significant change has been observed in the lower and middle income countries with respect to living standards, per capita income and urbanization. Consumption of hygiene products has increased significantly in Asian countries such as China and Japan over the last decade and the trend is anticipated to continue in the near future. Governments of various countries across the globe are focusing on providing favorable reimbursement policies for patients and caregivers' spending on incontinence products. Under these policies, costs incurred on urinary incontinence products such as absorbent products and urinary catheters can be fully or partially reimbursed through public and private insurance programs. This is expected to fuel the adoption of incontinence products over the projected period.

Incontinence Products- Restraints

Increasing waste associated with incontinence products is anticipated to hamper market growth to a certain extent during the forecasted period. Rising in consumption of disposable products results in increasing production of disposable waste, which has an adverse effect on the environment. For instance, disposable products create 80–100 times additional waste as compared to reusable products. Growing concern about adverse environmental effect is influencing people to shift to reusable and cost-effective products such as cloth adult incontinence products, which can adversely affect adoption of incontinence products in the near future.

Incontinence Products- Regional Outlook

Large pool of patients in developing regions suffering from incontinence problems is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players in the incontinence products market. Sales of incontinence devices in North America is projected to be the highest throughout the projected period owing to high-value-added technologies delivered by small- and medium-sized companies in the region. The incontinence products market in Latin America and MEA is expected to witness comparatively less growth due to lack of awareness of the available products among general public. In developing regions such as Asia Pacific, product penetration is relatively low due to low awareness and relatively high social stigma associated with incontinence disorders.
