The baby toiletries market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.26%, reaching a market size of US$4.210 billion in 2029 from US$3.145 billion in 2022.
Baby toiletries include products used to maintain the safety and hygiene of babies and toddlers. They consist of multiple products that are easily obtainable in the market, including baby body and bath care, baby wipes, and even baby diapers.
Safety concerns and the rise in baby hygiene are regarded as factors that will boost the market for baby toiletries. The rising disposable income of households, coupled with the female working population, is likely to create multiple opportunities for the baby toiletries market.
Baby toiletries usually is a term that is given to a combination of products such as toothpaste for babies, baby wipes as well as diapers. In this regard, the rising penetration of such baby care products will act as another major factor driving this market growth. Furthermore, the rising investments in the research and development sector are creating opportunities for clinical testing for baby care products, which will further create quality products for babies, driving the market growth.
Increasing parental concerns are regarded to be a major growth driver for this baby toiletries market. Increased customer spending on baby care products has been growing substantially in recent years, which is resulting in the demand for baby oil products along with the growing popularity of various types of baby oil among individuals, such as olive oil, bastard oil, mustard oil, and others which are commercially available in the market and at an affordable rate.
Moreover, the increase in baby or promotional activities through social media channels and even television by baby product manufacturers is expected to support the market growth in the coming years. Parents’ concerns about their newborn child’s development regarding hygiene are not unknown to anyone. Regarding this concern, manufacturers of baby personal care products are taking precautions about the ingredients that are being used in the making of these products.
The brand name is an efficient driver. An increasing number of customers make their purchase decisions based on a particular brand name and its popularity. As a result, in the global baby care industry, the brand name and its popularity guarantee quality for customers.
Parents are becoming more aware of the potentially harmful synthetic chemicals in baby care products, driving up demand for organic products. Consumer demand for organic baby care products is rising, including skincare products, diapers, and other items. Parents now prefer high-quality, eco-friendly baby care products because of their increased disposable income.
Major market players are creating new kinds of diapers by utilizing soft, organic fabric and organic components. Babies' skin is sensitive, so environmental factors like UV radiation, desert regions, dry environments, and many more affect them more readily. Additionally, as disposable income rises, consumers are choosing to use high-end baby care products.
With time, baby wipes have changed to include softer formulas made especially for newborns' sensitive skin. Brands place a high priority on hypoallergenic components that are safe for everyday use and devoid of harsh chemicals. The goal of these formulations is to clean without making skin feel dry or irritated. When choosing baby wipes, hydration and moisturization are important factors. Aloe vera, chamomile, and oat extracts are frequently added to formulations to help calm and moisturize the skin.
Throughout the projection period, the online distribution channel is expected to grow at a faster rate. The biggest online sellers of baby care products are well-known e-commerce behemoths like Amazon, Walmart, and corporate websites. The expansion of the online market is being propelled by market participants who are also introducing baby care products via their corporate portals. For example, WADE Inc., a sustainable baby care brand with specially formulated products, launched its first line of "PROUDLY Baby Care Products" in April 2022, catering to babies with melanated skin. These products are accessible through the brand's website.
To get advice, direction, and comfort from medical professionals when it comes to selecting baby care products, more and more parents—especially mothers—visit pharmacies to buy baby care products. The clinical development manager at Superdrug Store, Niamh McMillan, says that new parents often feel overwhelmed by the amount of contradicting and confusing product information. To help parents make informed decisions, pharmacists and their teams work with parents to ensure that the products they buy are appropriate for their infant's skin type. These elements support the pharmacy's product sales.
Consumer spending on baby care products, including toiletries, is anticipated to rise in the region due to robust economic growth and rising household incomes. Because of the increasing birth rate, baby care products are seeing some of the fastest growth in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, a wide distribution network and rising brand penetration are propelling the baby care products market in the area.
Moreover, due to growing environmental problems like heat, dry air, and ultraviolet (UV) rays, people are choosing to use protective skincare products for their infants. Consequently, there is a growing need for baby oils, moisturizers, lotions, and other products. In addition, the market for baby toiletries is expanding for e-commerce.
