Industrial chain: Adult diaper companies have no bargaining power for upstream raw materials Upstream: Super absorbent resin The raw materials of adult diapers mainly include super absorbent resin, PE film, non-woven fabric, wood pulp, hot melt adhesive, air-laid paper, etc. Among them, super absorbent resin is the core part. Super absorbent resin is a kind of low cross linking hydrophilic polymer compound with loose network structure, which is neither soluble in water nor soluble in organic solvent. It has the ability to absorb hundreds of times its own weight or even thousands of times water, and the water absorption rate is fast, the water retention performance is good. It is difficult to separate the water even under pressure. In recent years, China's super absorbent resin production capacity continues to expand, the output is growing steadily. In 2020, China's super absorbent resin production reached 990,000 tons, is expected to break through 1.2 million tons in 2023. It provides abundant raw materials for the adult diaper industry, and the upstream materials of adult diapers are weak in substitution and strong in product uniqueness. The above raw materials mainly come from the material manufacturing industry and the petrochemical industry. Among them, the material manufacturing industry has a high degree of product standardization, and the price is mainly determined by the market supply and demand relationship. The price of products in the petrochemical industry is affected by international oil prices, and there are certain fluctuations, which will have a certain impact on the production cost of the industry, and adult diapers enterprises have basically no bargaining power for upstream raw materials. Downstream The downstream of adult diapers is mainly for consumers, mainly including adults with mobility difficulties and incontinence, and some are provided to those engaged in special jobs and people who are not convenient to go to the toilet for a long time. With the deepening of aging, the number of elderly patients in China has also continued to grow in recent years, and urinary incontinence or mobility difficulties caused by stroke, dementia, diabetes, prostate disease, bladder disease, etc., have created a huge market demand for adult diapers.

Read MoreDevelopment history of adult diapers in China Adult diapers are mainly used by adults with mobility difficulties and incontinence, and some are also provided to those engaged in special jobs and people who are not convenient to go to the toilet for a long time. The development process of China's adult diaper industry can be divided into three stages: market introduction period, initial growth period and rapid development period. In 1996, Vinda's adult diaper brand "Bao Adult" began to enter the Chinese mainland market, marking the start of the adult diaper industry in mainland China. After a long period of time, "bag adult" is the mainstream adult diaper brand in the Chinese mainland market. Until 2000, Hengan Group took the lead in launching "Anerkang" adult diapers in China, opening the road to the development of local brands in the adult diaper industry. In 2001, Hangzhou COCO Care Products Co., Ltd. was established in Hangzhou, and in 2006 introduced China's first adult diaper production line and successfully put into production, promoting the initial development of China's adult diaper industry. Since 2007, various participants in the international market have laid out the Chinese adult diaper market. Early 2008. The adult diaper brand Depend of Kimberly-Clark of the United States launched the national large-scale activity of Kimberly-Clark's Depend "Health Care Trip" in Beijing First Social Welfare Institute, which marked Depend formally enter into the Chinese market. With the entry of multinational enterprises into China, China's adult diaper industry has entered an initial stage of growth. Since 2011, the convenience of adult diapers has increased its market penetration. With the increasing aging of China's population and the continuous improvement of residents' consumption level, the consumption demand for adult diapers continues to increase, which promotes the accelerated development of the adult diaper industry. At the same time, the rapid development of China's e-commerce provides a good environment for the development of adult diapers industry, the retail market size of China's adult diapers industry has reached 10.25 billion yuan in 2021, and China's adult diapers industry is in a period of rapid development.
Read MoreSpun-laced non-woven fabrics market has entered a new normal Wet wipes innovation focuses on sustainability The largest end use of spun-laced non-woven fabrics is wet wipes, which accounted for 64.7%(in tons) of all spun-laced non-woven consumption in 2021. By 2026, spun-laced non-woven will still be the main raw material for wet wipes, and the share of wet wipes in the consumption of spun-laced non-woven will grow to 65.6%. While the European Union's plastic restriction is a catalyst, the reduction of plastic in non-woven fabric has become a global driving force, especially spun-laced non-woven. As a global market leader in spun-laced non-woven and other wiping substrates, Suominen offers its customers products made from renewable, recyclable, compostable and plasti-free raw materials to help them achieve their environmental goals. These new products include Biolace Pure, a 100% plant-based product with superior cleaning capabilities, and Biolace Bamboo, a bamboo-based substrate. Both products have clear advantages in terms of reducing their CO2 footprint and reducing their environmental impact. Sandler uses renewable and recycled raw materials, which come from renewable sources such as viscose, cotton or PLA, the lactic acid-based polymer used in spun-laced non-woven. Spun-lace technology offers the possibility to adjust the raw material composition of non-woven meanwhile maintaining the function and quality of the established product. Andritz is advancing the development of innovative technologies such as spun-lace and wet methods to produce sustainable wet wipes. All of these processes use the spun-lace method, which is the most effective solution for bonding large amounts of fibers without using any hot melt or chemical adhesives. Mogul, which offers a diverse range of spun-lace series products, has been making non-woven fabrics from bamboo fiber, a cellulosic material regenerated from the bamboo plant. In addition, the company can manufacture materials using 100% bio-based polyester or hybrid products that are specifically designed to biodegrade in the environments where the vast majority of plastics usually end up: landfills and oceans. Bio-based sustainable spun-lace materials are becoming increasingly important due to the latest European regulations issued by the European Union. In addition to its standard spun-lace products, Mogul currently offers parallel and cross-laid spun-lace products as well as the unique bico-pet product, sold under the Madaline brand. Having such a diverse product range frees the company from over-reliance on wet wipes applications. Mogul's Metatex High Performance Spun-lace series offers a range of premium fabrics that meet the market's demand for lightweight materials for warm clothing such as firefighting gear and rubber reinforced materials. Sandler's spun-lace business also focuses...
