Rising awareness regarding the availability of a variety of baby care products is primarily driving the market's growth. Additionally, the rising demand for swim diapers made up of recycled cotton materials is further likely to ease the usage of sustainably made products and thereby drive the market growth. Besides this, increasing infrastructural facilities related to the public swimming pools and courts are further likely to support such products' consumption rate.

Additionally, rising awareness regarding the usage of disposable diapers made up of recycled cotton materials for environmental sustainability concerns is further driving the growth of the market in the region.   

Faster growth of the Asia Pacific region is attributed to the positive governmental support regarding the development of the swimming pools in countries such as India and China. This is likely to increase swimming activities among kids and thereby provide ease in the usage of such products driving the market growth in the region. For instance, in November 2020, the Indian Government allocated a USD 268.38 million budget to develop the Olympic standard swimming pool in Jammu and Kashmir. Additionally, rising awareness regarding the variety of baby incontinence related products such as diapers, wipes, and others among the population is further driving the market growth in the region.
