Hence, biodegradable diapers and efficient collection of diaper waste hold promising potentials to resolve issues related to plastic disposal. Manufacturers in the East Africa baby diaper market should innovate products with skin-friendly designs to ensure better retention of fluids. They should increase the availability of diapers that allow fluid absorption for long hours. This can be achieved with R&D in material sciences.

Parents are also looking for premium products to offer better protection and safety to babies. Compared to various types of diapers, disposable diapers are likely to be the most preferred in the near future, owing to their ease of use, efficiency, and convenience. Companies are offering lightweight and multilayer-sheet disposable diapers to provide additional protection, and at the same time, convenience of use for parents. Such findings indicate that the East Africa baby diaper market is predicted to advance at a healthy rate during the assessment period.

The COVID-19 crisis has altered many consumer behaviors and changed how the global society functions. This is evident in the East Africa baby diaper market, since frequent lockdown measures have compelled consumers to switch from disposable diapers to cloth diapers. This trend is prominent in East Africa, keeping the child’s comfort in mind, owing to changing weather conditions. Manufacturers should capitalize on this opportunity to launch new cloth diapers that are sustainable and help to keep economies running during the pandemic.

Bamboo diapers are known for their naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that help to eliminate odor-causing bacteria.
Breakthrough innovations in baby diapers are contributing to market growth. Unique diapers with specially positioned channels, coupled with dual-layer core designs are storming the East Africa baby diaper market. Since countries of East Africa such as Kenya, Somalia, and Uganda are economically-backward, manufacturers are striking the right balance between cost and innovative designs in baby diapers to meet expectations of consumers.
