Global Baby Disposable Diapers Market to Reach US$33.4 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Follow us on LinkedIn – The baby diapers market is a highly commoditized market, and intrinsically a tough category for manufacturers to operate in. Intense competition, pricing pressures, maturing North American and Western markets, have always challenged players. In developed markets, in addition to the brutal business climate, falling birth rates are also fingered as a key factor responsible for dragging down retail sales. Growth in these markets, therefore, hinges onto consumers trading up to premium priced diapers. Developing markets in Asia, on the other hand, have and will continue to remain bright spots for growth in the post recession period with over 58% of annual births worldwide coming from the Asian continent. Other strong market fundamentals that underpin the region's potential include improving economic affluence, increase in the number of working women, rising spends per child, fast-paced consumer lifestyles, growing awareness over the importance of hygiene, the ability to afford baby well-being products, and the inherent Asian culture that attaches greater importance to family bonding than in the West.

Recuperating from the challenges faced during the recession brought about by tight spending habits of customers and with emerging economic data pushing further into obscurity, the possible re-emergence of pre-recession overspending habits, manufacturers of Disposable Diapers are seeking new ways to stay afloat. This is especially so in developed markets. Interestingly, market majors in North America and Europe are focusing on premium diapers to expand value sales. The designer diapers market is thus forecast to emerge into the battleground in these markets, with diaper R&D shifting from developing super absorbent and safe materials towards aesthetics, and thus developing product concepts for designer diapers.

The diapers market is very competitive, driving companies to introduce innovative products in order to maintain their market share. Companies are focusing on products that enhance wearer comfort. Increased focus on features such as more stretch is expected to augment growth in the pull-on style diapers category. Products that are a combination of both diapers and pants are expected to make inroads into the training pants segment.

As stated by the new market research report on Baby Disposable Diapers, Europe continues to remain the largest regional market, while Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 7.5% over the analysis period. Growth in the global baby disposable diapers market would be driven by the growing adoption of these diapers in developing countries, where penetration has been relatively low till date. In developed nations, the market for baby diapers is inextricably linked to the birth rate. Declining birthrates and the number of women of childbearing age, coupled with high penetration, have more or less stabilized the mature market.

China represents the largest market in Asia-Pacific with its huge population and changing economic dynamics. Other advanced nations such as Singapore and Korea, albeit with low population, make Asia a high potential market for diapers. With increased disposable income, the market for consumer goods and convenience products is expected to increase. Rise in the purchasing power and growth of middle class population in countries will also spur market demand.

Growing use of disposable diapers in developing countries, especially in the neo-rich countries of Asia, aggravates the existing problem of landfill faced by the developed world, resulting in rising concerns over the use of non-biodegradable diapers. Additionally, major fallout of the recession is the renewed popularity of reusable cloth diapers. The potential cost savings offered, followed to a lesser degree by environmental concerns, are prime factors responsible for prodding a comeback of cloth diapers. Additionally, innovation has made cloth diapers more hygienic, easy to use and maintain. These are few factors that threaten the future of the disposable diaper industry.

Major players profiled in the report include Procter & Gamble, Kimberley Clark, UniCharm, SCA Hygiene Products, Kao Corporation, among others.

The research report titled "Baby Disposable Diapers: A Global Strategic Business Report" announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the global baby disposable diapers market, current market trends, key growth drivers, recent product launches, recent industry activity, and profiles of major/niche global as well as regional market participants. The report provides annual sales estimates and projections for Baby Disposable Diapers market for the years 2009 through 2017 for the following geographic markets – US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Rest of World. Also, a six-year (2003-2008) historic analysis is provided for additional perspective.

Salesian Missions Creates Fund to Assist Cyclone Victims in Southeast India

Salesian Missions has created a fund to assist with relief and rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Cyclone Thane, which devastated parts of Southeast India on Dec. 31, 2011. Salesians in affected areas worked to assist survivors, as they surveyed immense damage to their own properties.

Destruction to Salesian property in Puducherry, Cuddalore and the missions in Gedilam and Maranodi Vinnarasi resulted in shattered windows, sheared off roofs, destroyed water heaters, and ruined equipment in several vocational education centers. But despite their own losses, the Salesians stepped in during the immediate aftermath and provided shelter, meals, clean water, clothing and comfort to those affected by the devastation.

The immediate relief that survivors needed was vast, according to Father Johnson Antonysamy, director of the Salesian mission in Chennai. People were without food, water, electricity and shelter. Those with thatched roofs had their roofs blown off and more than 20,000 people were displaced. Salesians have continued relief efforts in local villages devastated by Cyclone Thane, but report they are in need of additional assistance.

Salesian Missions – the U.S. development arm of the international Salesians of Don Bosco headquartered in New Rochelle, NY – responded quickly by creating an India Cyclone Relief Fund.

"Because we are already part of the community and the local infrastructure, we are in a better position to help quickly when disaster strikes," says Father Mark Hyde, executive director of Salesian Missions.

"Our U.S. office responds to needs such as this by creating special disaster relief funds and calling on our generous donors who reach into their hearts and their wallets to help those most in need," he adds. "We are so very thankful to our supporters."

Cyclone Thane barreled through the districts of Cuddalore, Villupuram and Puducherry. In its wake, residents dealt with leveled homes and uprooted trees; flooded farmlands that destroyed precious crops; and the death of dozens of men, women and children.

"I don't know what we would have done without a place to sleep," says one villager whose thatched hut was carried away by the winds, and whose family is now staying at the mission in Chennai. "We would be out in the elements wondering how to survive. We are women's coats online so grateful to the Salesians for their help."

The Salesians' work will go far beyond the immediate relief that was needed in the days following the cyclone. Entire communities must rebuild. In addition to restoring their social development and education programs in operation prior to the cyclone, the Salesians must now rebuild their own missions and lead community efforts for long-term recovery.

"Salesians and the people they serve in southeast India are resilient," says Fr. Hyde. "Together we can help these victims as well as those in need in countries around the globe."

To give to the relief efforts, go to SalesianMissions.org, click on "Donate Now" and select "India Cyclone Relief Fund."

Australian Women Hold Off on Buying Shoes to Save

Women said they are most likely to stop eating out (67%) or avoid buying clothes and shoes (58%) to save money. Men also said they would not eat out (68%) and would defer purchases of alcohol (36%) to save money.

The RAMS Savings Satisfaction Survey by Gender and Generation has revealed that other than saving for a rainy day, women and men have listed the same top items on their savings wish list as a holiday and a house.

RAMS Chief Executive, Melos Sulicich said: "With the pressures of modern day living and the fast pace of work and social activities, it is no surprise that a holiday is the biggest savings priority for Australians.

"In fact, our survey found 68% of men and 53% of women listed a holiday as their number one savings goal.

"This is closely followed by about a third of men (31%) and women (43%) seeking to save for a house showing that the Great Australian dream of home ownership is still very much a big priority," he said.

RAMS released the data to coincide with its launch of new deposit accounts to reward customers for saving with great interest rates - including RAMS Saver which currently delivers the most competitive rate in the market - a bonus variable rate of 5.75% p.a. and a high base variable rate of 4.95% p.a.

For a long time, RAMS has offered real value home loans for Australians and now RAMS is seeking to be the savings champion for Australians by rewarding them with great interest rates.

Mr Sulicich, said, "We have listened to our customers who have told us online savings accounts, transaction accounts and offset accounts are a big priority to help them to save money and pay off their home loan faster.

"Not only does the RAMS Saver bring truly great interest rates to reward Australians who save, customers will be able to have fast and simple direct access to their savings account. We are launching with innovative online technology which electronically verifies the identity of the applicant and sets up a new account, ready for use within a just few minutes."

"Our research found women tend to be a little savvier than men and are more likely to have a high interest savings account (52% versus 44% of males) which shows they tend to be more proactive, save more money and are more satisfied with the way they save money, than people who don't have one.

"Unfortunately there is a still more than one third of Australians who are missing out on bigger returns by not putting their money into a high interest savings account," he said.

The RAMS Savings Satisfaction Survey has also indicated that Australians are serious about their savings. Two thirds (67%) of the population forego something in order to meet their savings targets, demonstrating the nation is committed to meeting their personal savings goals.

The results also showed a surprising disparity in attitude towards saving, with Gen Y identified as more determined savers than the rest of the population. Young people, aged under 29 years old, are more likely to have a high interest savings account compared to the rest of the population (58% versus 47%).

RAMS top Savings tips:

1. Keep savings separate and make sure you are getting the most out of your savings by putting them in a High Interest Savings Account. Having an extra – and growing – amount in a HISA greatly reduces the temptation to impulse buy.

2. Check the interest rate on your High Interest Savings account and make sure it is giving you a good interest rate to make sure you are saving your money more wis women's jackets ely, more efficiently and drive your dollar further so you get the most back in return.

3. Earn to save, not earn to spend. Your money is better off being put to work in order to make more money and increase your net worth.

4. Create a budget (and stick to it). It's important to remember these three tips when sitting down to make a budget: use after tax income figures not your gross salary, do not include irregular income that may not be reliable and when calculating expenses, use consistent expense periods such as weekly, fortnightly or monthly. That's where a tool like a savings calculator or budget planner can be invaluable. It enables you to keep track of your income and outgoings and so helps your savings build.
