The East Africa baby diapers market is witnessing a significant surge. “Thanks to the rising awareness about the importance of hygiene in baby care, a remarkable rise in the uptake of baby diapers in East African countries can been seen,” states a researcher at TMR. The most important factor behind the increased demand for baby diapers in this region is the increased child birth and reduced infant mortality rates. Kenya and Uganda have observed a decline in infant mortality rate from 38 to 35.5 and 41.6 to 37.7 per 1,000 births, respectively over a couple of years, whereas, Burundi, Tanzania, and Rwanda are expected to report a noticeable surge in the child birth rate in the near future.

The increasing disposable incomes of the middle class population in these countries have allowed them spend liberally on childcare and hygiene, which is reflecting positively on the East Africa baby diapers market. Over the coming years, the increasing advertisement via a number of marketing channels and the continual advancements in products will boost the growth of this market substantially, states the research report.
Slow Decomposition Pace of Diapers to Limit Uptake
On the other hand, the East Africa market for baby diapers faces severe hindrances in its growth trajectory from the slow decomposition pace of diapers. Diapers are the third-leading consumer products that is found in landfills and hold around 30% of non-biodegradable waste, in terms of volumes. Apart from this, expendable diapers also carry a harmful element, called dioxin, which is a byproduct of paper bleaching. Over the next few years, this factor is projected to limit the demand for baby diapers to some extent in East African countries, leading to a slowdown in the overall market, notes the research study.
