DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7whfpv/incontinence_care) has announced the addition of the "Incontinence Care and Management Market Assessment Report - Global Size, Share, Competitive Landscape, Future Prospects and Forecast from 2013-2019" report to their offering.

According to the team, the global incontinence care and management products market was worth $ 8.6 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach $ 14.0 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2013 to 2019.

The inability to control the evacuative urination or defecation functions of the body is known as incontinence. The market for incontinence care and management products is segmented into adult diapers, incontinence catheters, drainage bags, artificial urinary & bowel sphincters, slings, pessaries, clamps, sacral nerve and electrical stimulation. In 2012, the market for adult diapers accounted for the largest share by revenue of the total market at more than 70%. This is attributed mainly to the rise in the elderly population with urinary and fecal incontinence problems, increased awareness of personal hygiene, large range of products both for men and women, development of innovative products that provide better comfort and hygiene, easy availability of products, as well as innovative environment friendly products such as biodegradale, light and fluffless adult diapers.



Geographically, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). North America was estimated to be the largest market in 2012 valued at $3,057.3 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% from 2013 to 2019. It accounted for a share of 35.4% of the global incontinence care and management products market. Absorbent product brands such as Depend, Poise and Tena are leading the absorbents segment due to extensive use by adults in North America. A major restraint for adult diapers is the feeling of embarrassment in using these products by adults. This scene is however changing with manufacturer's changing their approach in selling absorbent products. Aged population is a major driver and the Asian market is teeming with opportunities for incontinence products due to a very large population of aged people.

In terms of market share analysis, the global incontinence care and management products market is highly fragmented with different players dominating different market segments. Numerous small and large players are competing closely to maintain their shares in the already mature market segments. Various product segments in this market have their own prominent market leaders in terms of market share. For instance, in 2012, SCA-TENA was the clear market leader in the adult diapers market with a market share of over 25% followed by Kimberly Clark (News - Alert), whereas Coloplast and C.R.
