Analyst Viewpoint

The rise in adoption of baby diapers and sanitary napkins is a significant factor contributing to the expansion of the hygiene breathable films market. These films offer high mechanical properties, such as abrasion resistance, durability, and low-temperature flexibility, making them essential in the production of various disposable sanitary products. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the adoption of hygiene practices globally, boosting the demand for hygiene breathable films used in products like baby and adult diapers, feminine hygiene products, and medical protective clothing.

Market Introduction

Hygiene breathable films are monolithic films that allow gas permeability while being impermeable to liquids. They are extensively used in manufacturing disposable sanitary products due to their ability to absorb water vapors and gases while remaining resistant to liquid water. The films are commonly used in products like sanitary napkins, diapers, and incontinence pads. Multilayer breathable films are particularly effective, as they maintain crucial physical and mechanical properties while minimizing porosity.

Key Market Drivers

Rise in Adoption of Baby Diapers and Sanitary Napkins

The demand for hygiene breathable films is primarily driven by the increasing use of baby diapers and sanitary napkins. These films enhance user convenience and comfort by allowing the skin to breathe, thanks to their microporous structure created by combining mineral fillers like calcium carbonate with polymers. This combination enables water vapor transmission without transferring liquid water, making them ideal for sanitary products.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic heightened consumer spending on healthcare products, including sanitary pads, underpads, and diapers, due to the increased spread of viruses and bacteria. This trend, coupled with a rise in demand for surgical gowns, gloves, and PPE kits, has further propelled the hygiene breathable films market.

R&D of Sustainable and High-Performance Films

Advancements in high-performance mono and multi-layer films are gaining traction across various industries. Manufacturers are focusing on developing advanced products for hygiene and medical sectors, emphasizing sustainability. This includes the adoption of recycled and biodegradable materials that ensure easier recyclability. The latest market trends highlight a growing demand for polyurethane-based breathable films, particularly in the medical sector, due to their superior breathability and liquid barrier properties.
