Increased awareness about environmental sustainability and the impact of disposable diapers on the environment has led many parents to choose reusable diapers and training pants. Moreover, such products are seen as a more eco-friendly option as they reduce waste generation and landfill usage. Several manufacturers in the industry are focusing on developing new products to meet the evolving consumer demands. For instance, in November 2022, SuperBottoms, an Indian infant care company, introduced 100% eco-friendly, machine-washable, and soft cloth diapers for infants.

Increasing disposable income and consumer spending power are major factors triggering the growth of the reusable diapers & training pants market. The number of people working has increased discretionary income, especially in rising economies in the Middle East and Africa, Central and South America, and Asia Pacific. Most families with babies or toddlers fall under the mid-30s to mid-40s age group, where most individuals are financially stable. This contributes to the increased spending on baby care products.

According to The United Nations Environment Programmes (UNEP) Single-Use Nappies and their Alternatives report 2021, Vanuatu was the first nation to ban single-use diapers after it was discovered that they make up 27% of the country's solid waste. According to the same report, in the European Union (EU), 33 billion single-use diapers are used yearly, producing 6.7 million tons of garbage. As a more sustainable option to single-use ones, reusable cloth alternatives are encouraged, which is expected to accelerate the market growth over the forecast period.

The growing demand for sustainable materials, comfort, absorbency, and easy-to-clean features offers new growth opportunities for the reusable baby diaper & training pants market. In response to this, manufacturers are focusing on providing sustainable infant care products to consumer. For instance, in July 2021, Modibodi launched The "Most Absorbent Reusable Nappy Ever". These are most absorbent reusable nappy ever and have a capacity of more than one liter. These factors are expected to accelerate the market growth over the forecast period

One-size reusable baby diapers that expand as the child grows are also becoming popular among parents. These are also used during potty training. Moreover, companies in the reusable baby diapers and training pants market are offering convenient closure options, such as buttons or Velcro, to easily adjust the size. For instance, Indian reusable diaper brand Just Bumm offers a free-size cloth baby diaper that can fit from a 3-month baby to a 3-years toddler and has adjustable bottoms.

Diaper subscriptions have recently become incredibly popular among parents. The supplies are delivered to the client’s doorsteps on a weekly or monthly basis under this model. In December 2022, Charlie Banana, a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, collaborated with TerraCycle's Loop, a program for reusable packaging, to introduce Loop Diaper Service, the first cloth diaper delivery service in the U.S. Every order comes with premium Charlie Banana reusable diapers, premium cloth inserts, and a cutting-edge anti-odor diaper bin.
