Kids Training Pant Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Category (Disposable, Reusable), By Application (Household, Commercial), By End-User (Infants & Toddlers, Pre-schoolers) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The kids commonly use training pants, as these pants can effectively soak kid’s pee and help in their toilet training. Parents largely prefer to buy training pants for their kids over diapers and other hygiene products as such pants can be easily pulled down and pulled up from the baby for its reuse. Additionally, highly-absorbent and elastic training pants are widely popular among them as they can effectively manage their baby’s toiletry needs.

Nowadays, companies focus on developing pull-ups made up of eco-friendly materials to provide a sustainable toiletry product solution to the kids. For instance, in June 2020, Kimberly Clark Corporation launched ‘Pull-Ups,’ a kids training pant brand with its products made up of plant-based materials such as sugarcane & fluff pulp. These products are best suitable for toddlers and big kids in their toilet training.

Rising awareness regarding the availability of a variety of baby care products is expected to drive the demand for the kid's training pants. Shifting consumer choices towards buying eco-friendly and sustainably made baby care products is further likely to drive the demand for the baby pull-ups made up of natural ingredients such as wood pulp, cotton, and others. 

The kids widely use disposable training pants during their traveling activities as these pants can be easily disposed of once they are used. Therefore, the rising trend of family picnics and trips is further driving the market growth. Additionally, the provision of educational support related to child toilet training by the governing bodies and associated companies to the parents is further likely to ease in the usage of such products across the globe. For instance, in February 2019, the National Day Nursery Association, Government of U.K. partnered with ERIC, a U.K. based children bowel and bladder charity to provide educational courses regarding the child toiletry training tips to the parents across the U.K.

However, the availability of alternative baby hygiene-related products such as baby wipes, diapers, disposable pads, etc., is expected to restrain the market growth. Additionally, skin irritation incidences due to the overuse of such products are anticipated to limit its demand among people worldwide.
