A diaper or a nappy is a type of underwear that allows the wearer to urinate or defecate without using a toilet, by absorbing or containing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing or the external environment. When diapers become wet or soiled, they require changing, generally by a second person such as a parent or caregiver. Failure to change a diaper on a sufficiently regular basis can result in skin problems around the area covered by the diaper.
Moreover, key players in the global diaper market are focusing on acquisitions to gain a strong foothold in the global market. For instance, in January 2017, Drylock Technologies announced the acquisition of Presto Absorbent Products Incorporated (PAPI, USA), an innovator and manufacturer of adult incontinence products, serving institutional and retail distributors in the U.S. This acquisition resulted in product portfolio expansion and expansion of the consumer base and manufacturing base.
