- While Covid-19 had a strong effect on select segments of the wipes business in 2020, this effect was both narrow and short lived. Most consumer wipes saw an increase in demand in 2020, while most industrial wipes saw a decrease; the overall effect was about a 3% faster growth rate in demand for all wipes in 2020, followed by a return to near normal rates in 2021–22
- Some segments, including disinfecting wipes and healthcare wipes, are forecast to remain above historical levels through 2027
- Conversely, food service wipes and general purpose industrial wipes are forecast to lag behind historical levels through 2027.
- Wipes growth will remain almost flat from 2022 to 2027
- Wipes sales value will decrease in South America and Asia, growing in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
- Some of this growth is forecast due to the very low wipes sales value in 2022; for example, Eastern Europe is forecast to have recovered somewhat by 2027 from Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and subsequent sanctions, as well as from Turkey’s current economic and political issues.
