Key Findings

Increased product variety and availability

The growing acceptance of retail adult incontinence encourages new launches. Companies are focusing on premiumisation that ensures maximum absorption as well as undetectability.

Social taboo and affordability limit growth

In many countries in the Middle East and Africa, adult incontinence products are taboo especially in rural communities. Furthermore, affordability remains a barrier for many consumers. Sanitary pads or cloth nappies/diapers are used as an affordable alternative.

Moderate/Heavy adult incontinence records stronger sales

Moderate/Heavy adult incontinence products are preferred over light adult incontinence products. Those who need light adult incontinence products would rather use sanitary pads as this is more affordable.

Population growth expected to boost demand

There is a growing ageing population in the Middle East and Africa as consumers live longer due to improved medical treatment. This trend is boosting demand for incontinence products.

Rise of e-commerce spurs sales

This channel offers convenience to consumers in terms of home delivery and lower prices compared with chemists/pharmacies and drugstores/ parapharmacies, as well as discretion.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has little or no effect on market

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, growth is expected for the region. Availability of these products has not been hampered during this turbulent period.
