Why is incontinence still a taboo subject?
Although incontinence is the fastest growing hygiene market, with 8-9%* projected volume growth from 2020-2025, it is still negatively affecting people’s lives.
Experiencing negative emotions, such as embarrassment and insecurity, is one of the main reasons why people with incontinence carry extra underwear with them or have other ways of mitigating the issue. Incontinence is a medical condition and an underlying symptom of a range of diseases that affects between 4-8% of the population, or the lives of almost 450 million people worldwide. Of this number, 12.4% women and 5% of all men worldwide are affected.
Which generations suffer from incontinence?
Let’s break down the numbers:
- In their 2020 report, the United Nations estimated that there are 727 million people aged 65 years or over worldwide.
- This number is projected to more than double by 2050, reaching over 1.5 billion people. However, this age group is not the only one facing incontinence. Looking at Australia alone, as many as 60,000 Australian teenagers experience some form of incontinence.
