The North American baby diaper market

Disposable baby diapers are by a large margin the most lucrative segment of the total diaper market in North America - by 2022, they are expected to generate around 10.25 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. Cloth diapers rank in a distant second place, with a forecast market revenue of approximately 2.3 billion dollars.
