The Increasing Need for Adult Incontinence

When someone has urinary incontinence, they unknowingly or uncontrollably leak pee. Urinary incontinence can affect anybody. However, it is more prevalent in women and those over 50. People who lack bladder control forgo their regular activities in addition to feeling embarrassed by it.

People won’t always develop urine incontinence as they become older. And there are methods for treating and managing incontinence for individuals who struggle with it. More than 25 million adults in the United States suffer from urine incontinence, but one in three women of all ages and stages of life are thought to experience incontinence at some point. 

When does it take place? 

Urinary incontinence can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as: 

Childbirth:
After giving birth, bladder nerves and supporting tissue may get injured, weakening the bladder muscles. 

Age:
As people get older, the bladder muscle may weaken and cause involuntary contractions.

Pregnancy:
Stress incontinence can develop during pregnancy because of the fetus’ weight gain and hormonal changes. 

Other underlying conditions:
Urinary incontinence may be brought on by neurological conditions, enlarged prostates, or even cancer. 

Who is affected? 

An estimated 25 million persons experience occasional or persistent incontinence. While incontinence can affect anyone, women over 50 are more likely to have it. An underlying medical problem can temporarily produce urinary incontinence. It can cause light urine losses or severe, persistent wetness. 

The Growing Need 

Urinary incontinence is a common problem for both men and women in America. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly how many people have urine incontinence, 25 million adult Americans are thought to have either transient or chronic incontinence.

The fastest-growing absorbent hygiene issue among adults is incontinence, which has increased as a result of individuals living longer. 36 of the National Diaper Bank Network’s members run distribution programs for adult incontinence goods, commonly known as urinary incontinence products, to fulfill this expanding need. In the US, 4,125 persons received an average of two million products per month from our members in 2021. 

The adult incontinence products market is driven by the aging population. Over the following two decades, it is expected that the number of persons 65 and older would nearly double in both the US and Canada. Age-related illnesses like dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke that can cause incontinence will become more common as a result of this expansion.

Thus, according to a research report by Astute Analytica, the global North America Adult Incontinence Products Market value was US$ 2,952.52 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 5,645.4 million by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.62% over the projection period from 2023 to 2031.
