Declining Infant Mortality Rates and Strengthening
Economies to Give Baby Diaper Sales in East Africa a
Fillip, states TMR
Markets for baby diapers in most countries across East Africa are consolidated, with companies such as
Procter and Gamble, Kimberly Clark, and Unicharm Corporation accounting for a large share in the markets’
revenues, states TMR in a new report. In Kenya, the largest contributor to the East Africa baby diapers
market in terms of revenues, Procter and Gamble, held a share of 22% in 2015. Product cost being a key
determinant of growth in the East Africa baby diapers market, with most countries falling in the developing
category, companies have adopted strategies that can help cut down the final selling price of products.
Favoring employment of their own distribution agents against the normal strategy of selling products
through third party distribution channels is one such strategy that has worked for companies in East Africa.
Market players are also focusing on the development of products with biodegradable materials to appeal
to the environmentally conscious parents and innovative designs capable of tackling issues concerning
effects of diapers on the health of infants. Among the other key vendors in the East Africa baby diapers
market are Indevco Group, SCA Hygiene, Johnson and Johnson, Interconsumer Products Ltd., and Mega
Soft (Fujian) Hygiene Products Co. Ltd.

Rising Awareness about Personal Hygiene and Decline in Infant Mortality Rate Fuel Demand for
Diapers in East Africa
In the past few years, awareness regarding the need for diapers as a personal hygiene measure for infants
and babies has significantly increased among the urban dwelling population in East African countries.
Active efforts undertaken by government and non-government organizations to educate the rural population
about the need for maintaining hygiene to prevent the outbreak and contracting of infectious diseases has
also significantly increased the usage of baby diapers across many countries in East Africa.
Rise in disposable incomes and a notable decline in infant mortality rate have also emerged as key factors
stimulating the demand for baby diapers in East African countries in the past few years. In developing
countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, especially, infant mortality rates have substantially reduced in the
past few years. In Kenya and Uganda over the period between 2013 and 2015, infant mortality rates have
gone down from 38 to 35.5 and from 41.6 to 37.7 per 1,000 births, respectively. Birth rates are also rising
considerably in other East African countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.
